The City of Adelaide 2020-2024 Strategic Plan has a vision for Adelaide to be the most liveable city. Further improving Adelaide’s liveability, enhancing the wellbeing and resilience of city residents, and working to ensure environmental sustainability are key tenets of the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan. You will find questions on each of those topics in the survey.
The 2020-2024 Strategic Plan includes ‘measures of success’. A number of these are tracked through questions in the Resident Survey.

the strategic and operational priorities of the City of Adelaide
activities to improve the city residential experience
activities to market the city (as a place to live, work or play)
activity around wellbeing and resilience
advocacy to other levels of government
Park Lands and Mainstreets planning and activations
