Karidis Corporation threatens legal action over $40 million Glenelg revamp

·

Karidis Corporation has threatened legal action over the $40 million Jetty Road upgrade in Glenelg, arguing that local businesses and the wider community have not been properly consulted.

At a public meeting on Thursday, April 3, Peter Karidis said that Karidis Corporation is not trying to “stop the process,” but they are here to “make sure that we as a community are consulted properly.”

The project, which began in January, involves removing over 60 car parks to install new footpaths, funded in part by a 2.3% special levy on ratepayers.

Despite the council claiming it held 11 community sessions and sent brochures to 20,000 homes, business owners including Karidis and Andrew Taplin insist communication has been inadequate.

Holdfast Bay Mayor Amanda Wilson maintains the council’s process has been lawful and well-engaged: “There’s been no threats of any action because nothing that we’ve done has been unlawful.”

A 2024 survey found 92% of locals opposed the redevelopment. The upgrade is expected to be completed by 2027.
