A South Australian public servant is defiantly pushing forward with legal action against a controversial $45 million golf course redevelopment, despite a warning from the Crown Solicitor that court delays could cost taxpayers up to $4 million. Edwin Kemp Attrill, calling it a “David and Goliath battle,” vows to continue fighting—even risking personal bankruptcy—after the government’s legal advisor accused his cost estimate of being too low. Backed by Kaurna traditional owner Janette Milera, they seek a federal injunction under the Environment, Protection and Biodiversity Act, arguing the project violates national environmental laws. A crowdfunding campaign has raised over $31,000 to support their legal fees. The state government denies initiating the lawsuit, claiming it’s merely disclosing potential costs to protect taxpayer interests, while disputing claims of environmental harm. The project, exempt from standard regulations under new legislation, has drawn widespread criticism for bypassing council oversight and granting planning approval before final designs were complete. Attrill insists state assessments ignore critical national heritage risks.
