Re: APP: Glenelg Cinema site, Jetty Rd | 2 level retail

Nice Photo but it is not Glenelg
Is West Lakes suffering because it will lose the oval?

Re: APP: Glenelg Cinema site, Jetty Rd | 2 level retail

the locals know that demolition of the south and south west facade of the Glenelg Cinema in Jetty Road Glenelg is WRONG. The community outrage can be described as DISGUST.

Re: APP: Glenelg Cinema site, Jetty Rd | 2 level retail
