Rights for Sex Workers in South Australia!

Rights for Sex Workers in South Australia!

Right now Adelaide City Council is proposing amendments to the planning code. The amendments include provisions for adult entertainment and adult products and services businesses. The changes will guide the use and development of land of adult entertainment premises and/or adult products and services locations. For more information on the proposal link here https://www.cityofadelaide.com.au/community/get-involved/adult-entertainment-premises-code-amendment/ 

SIN South Australia and peak body Scarlet Alliance call upon you to tell your local MP you are opposed to:

  • A new 50 meter planning ‘buffer’ on all new strip club developments from being near schools, churches, childcare centers.
  • A new Red light district on Hindley st (ie the only location exempt from the ban).

Problems with the planning amendment:

  • Strip club duopoly retained by default in Hindley Street.
  • Safety of workers has not been considered.
  • It's regressive, implies proximity to strip clubs is undesirable or dirty.
  • Promotes gig-economy, prevents purpose-built venues from gaining approval.
  • It’s political, pandering to a vocal minority pushing their morals on others.
  • In practice the ‘buffer’ is a ban on any new clubs.
