UPDATE: Read the latest update regarding our response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. Read more.
Adelaide is a city designed to continually support and enrich the wellbeing and quality of life of its people.
As such, in the wake of the impact of COVID-19, we're looking toward a positive future and have asked what you need from our city in the weeks, months and possibly even years to come.
Together, we need to recover + reimagine Adelaide as a thriving city.
Thank you!
We have been overwhelmed with all of the incredible ideas we have received from the Adelaide community throughout our Recover + Reimagine initiative. Your contribution has helped us better understand how we can assist Adelaide to recover from the affects of COVID-19 and reimagine itself as a thriving city.
We have implemented a broad range of effective and exciting ideas, with a few highlights including distributing 140 heaters to hospitality retailers to encourage outdoor dining, and the installation of festive lighting in Melbourne St, O’Connell St and Hutt St to welcome our community back into the city.
These are just a small number of ideas implemented so far, with many more completed or still to come over the coming months. Make sure you don't miss the great initiatives that are happening now, including:
Please keep an eye on our website and Facebook page to keep up to date with all our Recover + Reimagine initiatives.
Once again, we thank you for your invaluable contribution in helping our wonderful city to not only recover, but to also reimagine what’s possible!
We invite you to share your ideas. You can use words, an image or both.
To help us understand how you use the city, please include at the end of your idea any of the following hashtags which apply to you:

Create walkable, green corridors that connect to public transit and green open spaces and provide educational and recognition opportunities to the traditional owners of the land (Kaurna people). More green infrastructure in CBD and more biodiversity introduced (release programs similar to the bee hive at the Adelaide Museum, but with other endangered native species - plants, animals, insects...).Better use of Water Sensitive Urban Design principles (e.g., buffer strips, bioswales, rain gardens, introduce wetlands, ponds and lakes into open space in parklands as well as more large leaf canopy). More green walls and water features (e.g., misting, artificial waterfalls, and other cooling strategies for summer), more permeable paving and shading alternatives. Make cycling safer by separating bikes from motor vehicles and creating better accountability legislation protecting cyclists from freight and other larger vehicles. Restrict times larger vehicles (logistics operators) can enter the city (e.g., early morning and late evenings only) - can make trading hours in CBD start later and end later to stagger peak flow (would allow for early morning freight). Prioritise pedestrian traffic over motor vehicle traffic in the CBD.
Please increase bike lanes in Adelaide CBD, and ensure east-west bike lane is implemented without further delay. Free public transport within the CBD needs to be maintained, more EV chargers, and perhaps raise charges on car parks to encourage people to catch public transport rather than drive into the city. This is City of Adelaide’s chance to redesign the city to a cleaner greener one, in line with achieving our targets of being world’s first few cities with net zero emissions. Science tells us that we need to do it, so here is our chance. #shop

A location is identified along with the sculpture medium and people are invited to contribute and grow the art over time. Could be clay-based. Could be small objects of a certain colour. Could be toys. etc. #work #play
