Speaking of Burnside Village...
BURNSIDE Council has rejected an application for the homeless and disadvantaged to sell The Big Issue on council land because it considers it "business".
The not-for-profit organisation, which helps homeless, marginalised and disadvantaged people positively change their lives, approached the council in August for permission for vendors to sell the magazine on the footpath outside Burnside Village.
While councils including Adelaide City, Norwood, Payneham & St Peters and Mitcham support the sale of the magazine on their land, Burnside rejected the application because it "does not authorise businesses to operate from our roads, which includes footpaths, for safety reasons and also to be fair to established businesses who pay rates".
The SA Council of Social Services described the decision as "nonsense" from a council area "associated with a group of people with high-level income", while Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Mayor Robert Bria said "I don't think it's a good look".
