Minister’s Capital City Development Plan Amendment (DPA)

Engagement Administrator — 2012-03-27 12:59:56 +1030

Council supports the growth of the city and shares the State Government’s objectives of more development, increased residential population and taller, well designed buildings that complement the city's unique character and heritage.

The proposed Minister’s Capital City Development Plan Amendment and the Design Review Process will allow Council and State Government to work together to eliminate piecemeal and ad-hoc development. It will enable us to take it street by street and precinct by precinct to create a better designed, more vibrant Adelaide.

Council is particularly impressed with the pre-lodgement Design Review Process. Having a City Design Review Panel will lock in design guidelines at the very beginning of planning. That, in turn, will speed up development, reduce costs, attract greater investment and lead to exciting and innovative architecture.

To provide feedback and for more information about the Minister’s Capital City Development Plan Amendment, go through to the amendment webpage on sa.gov.au. Consultation closes 1 June 2012.

Background to the project

Adelaide Administrator — 2011-11-22 14:30:50 +1030

In October, we held an online forum for people to let us know the types of community activities we could put in place to make the City a better place to live.

We have also held workshops with community stakeholders, not for profit groups and agencies that provide services to people living, working or visiting the City.

Together you have helped us identify four outcome areas that we think we should be included in the new Community Strategy to help make the City a better place to live, work and visit.

These are:

a socially inclusive city,
a well connected and engaged city,
a city with strong neighbourhoods,
a city with excellent integrated social infrastructure.

Council is now undertaking a second stage of consultation to explore these outcome areas and discuss new and potential projects.

Have you got ideas on how we can achieve our four outcomes? Why not share your thoughts and see what others have to say in the online forum.

A Draft Stormwater Management Plan has been prepared for the Brownhill Keswick Creek catchment. The catchment is made up of the Brownhill, Keswick, Glen Osmond and Parklands Creeks that flow through the Cities of Adelaide, Burnside, Mitcham, Unley and West Torrens.

The principal objective of the Draft Stormwater Management Plan (the Draft Plan) is to reduce the impact of major flooding across the catchment.

Members of the public are invited to provide feedback on the Draft Plan.

Visit the City of Unley's website to learn more about Draft Plan and to provide your feedback via the online survey. Consultation closes on 12 December 2011.

Adelaide Outdoor Markets

None — 2011-10-25 13:58:55 +1030

In October 2010 a review took place of Outdoor Markets in the city.

Council approved the future strategy for Outdoor Markets in March 2011. The approval means that Council will move to a facilitation role, rather than one involving direct management and operation of markets.

An Outdoor Market Policy and set of Operating Guidelines have been developed to ensure that a suitable framework exists to support and facilitate future Outdoor Markets in the city.

Council now seek public comment on the Policy, Operating Guidelines and list of preferred market locations to ensure relevant considerations have been addressed in developing the framework, to ensure future market operators are equipped to operate a sustainable market in the city.

Read our Media Release for more information.

Following your feedback, Council aims to be ready to support and facilitate market operators in January 2012.

Available Now - Rundle Mall Masterplan

None — 2011-10-04 11:18:43 +1030

Rooftop cinemas, LED screens, new public art, laneway shops and dining and balcony bars - these are just some of the suggestions revealed in the new Rundle Mall Masterplan.

Launched today for a month long period of public review, Adelaide City Council and the Rundle Mall Management Authority (RMMA) are keen to hear what the public has to say about the new long term vision for the retail heart of the city.

"Rundle Mall is the primary shopping precinct and meeting place in SA – and we want to ensure it stays that way," said Lord Mayor Stephen Yarwood.

"Revitalising the Mall is a major focus of the new Council and we are very pleased to present the Masterplan to the public for their feedback – an important and exciting step in enhancing the precinct."

The Masterplan involves a design component and a series of recommendations and proposals regarding structural upgrades, retail mix, policies, management and governance.

It suggests a variety of ideas and options to improve the Mall, including attracting unique retailers, entertainment and multi-level trading, convenient and affordable transport options and upgrades to the public domain.

The plan aims to combine both public and private investment, develop relationships with new and existing stakeholders and create a framework for future growth.

"The imperative for further progress to be made within the Rundle Mall precinct has never been greater," Chairman, Rundle Mall Management Authority, Theo Maras said.

"The ideas proposed in the Masterplan will deliver a renewed sense of confidence."

Following today's media launch, copies of the draft Masterplan and Executive Summary Overview document will be available at www.rundlemallmasterplan.com. The plan will be open to the public for review until the 1st of November and the community will be able to provide feedback via an online forum and survey.

An interactive touch-screen will be located at the Gawler Place canopy throughout October giving shoppers and visitors the chance to browse the Masterplan, along with an information day in mid-October where people will have a chance to meet the Design Team and ask questions. Copies of the Executive Summary and survey forms will also be available in Council's Customer Service Centre, libraries and community centres.

"Rundle Mall is the true heart of South Australian life so I urge everyone to take a few minutes, head to the website or visit the Mall and have your say," Stephen said.

Comments from the public will be presented to Council and the Rundle Mall Management Authority for endorsement later this year. A team of designers will then develop the approved Masterplan concepts into detailed working drawings with the goal being to start construction in 2012, subject to funding.

The outcomes of the Masterplan will be implemented as a staged process over several years, with each separate project reflecting the overall, long-term vision for Rundle Mall

Project details

Adelaide Administrator — 2011-09-20 10:02:00 +0930

The State Government has committed significant funds to the redevelopment of the Adelaide Convention Centre. The project is likely to take 5 years to complete and a location (works compound) to contain all the equipment required to manage the project is essential.

The State Government has submitted an application to Council to use a nearby part of the Park Lands as a works compound. Council is proposing to grant a Licence over the proposed site area to the State Government for this purpose.

The area requested was used as a rail yard for many years and more recently as a temporary bus exchange area. It is anticipated that the location of this compound will have a minimal affect on public use of the Park Lands, being in an area that is not frequented by the public.

Under the Community Land provisions of the Local Government Act 1999 and the SA Local Government Act 1999, the granting of the proposed Licence is subject to public consultation.

Pull down times: 23 March 2012

The Adelaide City Council has received an application from Adelaide Fringe for the use of Rymill Park / Mullawirraburka to enable the Fringe Club to take place between 24 February and 18 March 2012. The event set up is scheduled to start on 20 February 2012, with pull down to be completed by 23 March 2012. It is anticipated that the venue will attract approximately 500 people daily. Opening hours are proposed from 12noon to 3:00am daily (closed 27 February, 5 March and 12 March).
The Fringe Club is a gathering and meeting place for all Adelaide Fringe registered artists, sponsors and associated partners and provides a secure venue for socialising and refreshments.

It will operate every evening for the duration of the festival, except on Mondays when the venue is closed. The Fringe Club will only operate during the day for special functions and forums. The club is only accessible to pass holders and not open to the general public.

In 2012 Adelaide Fringe shifted the location of this popular club further into the centre of Rymill Park / Mullawirraburka. This is to reduce the noise impact on residents in this area of Adelaide's East End. Programming of entertainment in the club is mindful of residents and neighbouring businesses. After 1:00am they ensure noise levels are maintained at or below Adelaide City Council's Noise Mitigation Standard Operating Procedures. Adelaide Fringe will provide Council with a detailed Acoustic Management Plan for the Fringe Club tenure in the Park Lands.

The Fringe Club will consist of a bar, stage and decked area under a circus tent structure. The stage will be hosted by an MC and programmed nightly with live music, performance and DJ's.

The FUSE Festival (a Fringe managed event) will hold its Explode event as part of the opening night celebrations (24 February 2012) in club. It will be the only ticketed event to be held in the Fringe Club. Tickets to this event will be available to the general public.
