Let us know your thoughts on our draft 2016-2017 Integrated Business Plan!
This document is the key annual operational and financial planning document of the Adelaide City Council. It describes what services and projects Council plans to provide in the upcoming financial year, and how it plans to allocate its budget.
Council’s business plan is concerned with delivery of key projects along with on-going services such as maintaining roads and footpaths, waste collection, cleansing and Park Lands maintenance.
It has been developed in the context of delivering Council’s long term strategic direction as set out in the Strategic Management Plan documents. These documents are required by the Local Government Act 1999 and include the:
- Draft City of Adelaide 2016-2020 Strategic Plan;
- Infrastructure and Asset Management Plans; and
- Corporation Plan 2012-2016.
These plans outline the Council's objectives over a four year period. The draft Strategic Plan provides a vision for the City - Adelaide is a smart, green, liveable, boutique city full of rich experiences. They show how Council intends to achieve its vision through sustainable growth and seeking to balance the Council’s responsibility to provide quality and value in local government services for ratepayers, with its wider responsibilities under the City of Adelaide Act 1998 in managing the City and the Park Lands on behalf of all those who live, visit, work or study in the City.
The development of the draft Strategic Plan was informed by extensive community engagement through Picture Adelaide 2040. This project employed a broad mix of traditional and innovative consultation methods to engage with the widest possible range of stakeholders and community members. Over 2,000 people were involved in Picture Adelaide 2040 and have inspired the development of the draft 2016-17 Integrated Business Plan.
This year the Strategic Plan and Integrated Business Plan are directly aligned. The Integrated Business Plan is presented under the four themes identified in the Strategic Plan:

Gawler Place Redevelopment
At its
meeting on May 10, Council endorsed a motion to progress the next stage of the
Rundle Mall Master Plan, which includes a major redesign and upgrade of Gawler
Place between North Terrace and Grenfell Street. This investment would require
additional borrowings of up to $6.0 million over the life of the project. This
additional cost is not included in the Draft 2016-17 Integrated Business Plan
document due to printing deadlines.
Subject to community feedback during the public consultation period
(11-31 May 2016), the current allocation of $1.85 million already included in
the draft 2016-17 Integrated Business Plan will be increased to $7.85 million
in the final 2016-17 Integrated Business Plan and/or updated Long Term
Financial Plan, according to expected project timing.
