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.
Read more about our plan and budget for the year ahead.

Strategy, Insights and Performance
Part of the Brown Hill Keswick Creek Stormwater Project, a new 3.2 hectare wetland on Adelaide’s city fringe has been completed, providing critical flood risk mitigation, and delivering an outdoor recreation space for South Australians. The wetland opened to the public on Saturday 07 May.
The Pakapakanthi Wetland was officially opened to the public following a ceremony on 6 May 2022. Read the media release by clicking here.
