Melbourne Street - Bus Stop 4 Reinstatement: Following assessment of several factors, including community feedback, reinstatement of the stop near the pre-existing location has been selected. Reasons why this location was chosen include:

• The width of the footpath and level of activity at the selected location will ensure the risk of footpath congestion is low, accessibility is good and path users are not impeded.
• The impact to on-street car parking will be less than the other option considered.
• Being reinstated at the pre-existing location, regular bus users will be familiar with the stop location.
• The absence of adjacent obstacles such as veranda overhang and posts, eliminating the risk of strike by bus vehicles.

National Heritage Management Plan for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout

Following the conclusion of the consultation period on the Draft National Heritage Management Plan for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout, Council is in the process of considering the submissions received and appropriate amendments to the Policy. The draft National Heritage Management Plan with recommended changes to the Plan arising from public consultation will be considered by Council in November 2023.

Sturt Street West Greening

The Sturt West Greening Project has been put on hold and will not be delivered as part of this year's Business Plan and Budget (BP&B). The Project will be considered in future BP&B’s.

The reasons for the works not proceeding are as follows:

• A rise in construction material and labour has exceeded City of Adelaide’s (CoA) expectations on costs.
• The market is currently saturated with this type of work, which has led to little interest from contractors to undertake the works.

Further to the above, in May 2023, Council made a decision to reallocate funding from the Sturt Street West Greening project to other projects to align with the BP&B focus for the 2023-24 financial year. This project was partly funded by Green Adelaide and the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCI).

The project team will engage with community groups directly to inform them of this decision.

The Grant Partners have been notified and CoA are looking to reallocate the Green Adelaide and LRCI funding.

Thank you for your continued participation and we look forward to receiving your feedback for our current engagements listed below.

CONSULTATION UPDATES

Business Plan and Budget

On the 27 June Council adopted its Business Plan and Budget (BP&B) 2023/24 with some amendments, that followed an extensive consultation process with the community.

During our public consultation, over 400 individual feedback / submissions were made. We heard from the community that things like the Park Lands, parking, community sports infrastructure, safety, transport, outdoor dining, city vibrancy and tackling climate change were important. Approximately 63% of our general surveys received supported some or all of the priorities identified for 2023/24. A summary of our consultation can be found online here.

After taking community feedback into consideration, the changes now include:

• Upgrades to Light Square electrical infrastructure at an estimated cost of $400,000

• Amending Park Lands event fees from 1 October to reflect a reduction to 2020 fee levels

• A commitment to continuing to work with ACSARA on its proposed facility within Golden Wattle Park / Mirnu Wirra (Park 21W), and developing policy options for Park Lands buildings for the provision of fit for purpose facilities including toilets, changerooms and storage

• Further detail on the timing and cost of upgrades for Gouger Street, Hutt Street, Hindley Street, O’Connell Street and Melbourne Street

Council will continue to welcome visitors back to our City, create a vibrant and culturally diverse community, drive economic growth for our businesses, protect and celebrate our Park Lands, improve our infrastructure for all to enjoy and show leadership through partnerships and by being financially sustainable.

Street Planting

We asked the community if they supported the proposal to increase greening across the city in streets that have little to no vegetation. The majority of responses were in favour of the increased greening in the proposed streets. Based on the feedback received, the project team are focussing on updating plans. We anticipate the greening works to commence in October 2023. You can find out more here.
