The PHA Food and Farming Campaign will be arguing for the preservation of a key piece of agricultural land in the City’s jurisdiction that is under threat from proposed developments.
The case will challenge the administrative decisions made by Local Development, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning MEC Anton Bredell, his department and the City to rezone a part of the PHA for mixed-use development. Campaign chairperson Nazeer Sonday said: “The PHA is precious. It is under threat and we need to protect this area. Every single acre has a purpose. Every time politicians say they care about the PHA, they also seem to want to pave over a portion of it. We are saying: enough is enough. This is why we are now turning to the court.”
The campaign and Sonday are the two applicants in this case. The 13 respondents include MECs and their departments, as well as the City.
