Consultation has concluded
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:

To promote Adelaide as a UNESCO City of Music, and also promote SA musicians, play their original music in Adelaide's public spaces, including Rundle Mall. #live #work #play #shop #tourist
The current pandemic provides the opportunity to reimagine Music in the Square to enable communities to reconnect and re-experience the city and its businesses as they re-open. Music in the Streets could offer paid opportunities for local musicians to perform in a safe way alongside and within newly reopened businesses drawing visitors to city bricks and mortar businesses and venues. The program will continue to activate the City in innovative ways and will support businesses and musicians without encouraging large gatherings of people in one location. This could be trialled with a series of pop-up lunch time gigs to be delivered in partnership with Music SA with funds from undelivered Music in the Square sessions due to COVID19 social distancing restrictions. #play #work
Expand the EV charging network to more UPark stations, and to struggling retail precincts like East End, Hutt St, South Terrace and O’Connell St. Aid the city to reduce its transport emissions further!
Invite sporting clubs to provide free have-a-go activities ie archery, rowing, lawn bowls etc. The type of activities that people don't normally get to experience unless joining up and paying fees.
There are so many balconies in the City that never seem to be really activated. Pubs, restaurants, residences, offices etc. Balconies do get used for events on the City Street Circuit (Adelaide 500, former Grand Prix etc) but when else? How about an event that encourages dining and socialising on balconies throughout the city? Hey, you could even do one on the Town Hall balcony. Parliament House. The Casino. Government House. Rundle Street has so many, too. Roving or placed musicians and performers could complement it.
