DRAFT
Council recently engaged in public consultation on our
Draft City Plan, Draft Annual Business Plan and Budget
and the Draft Long Term Financial Plan.
The draft plans were made available for viewing at the
Council Office at the Civic Centre, Port Adelaide, at the
Enfield, Port Adelaide and Greenacres Public Libraries,
and on Council’s website
Brochures with a summary of
the three plans were also made available in all Council
offices, libraries and community centres.
A number of different methods were used to encourage
participation in the consultation. Our Council website
featured a large graphic banner link
to a dedicated consultation page for the draft plans
where users could post a submission via an online
comment box. Strategically timed social media
posts invited the community to participate, along
with a video of the Chief Executive Officer inviting
public comment.
Large write-on banners were placed at libraries and
community centres encouraging residents to write
directly on the plan any feedback or comments.
Prominently placed public notices appeared in the
Messenger Newspapers and in the April/May
edition of Pen2Paper. Roadside promotional
banners in five locations targeted local traffic to
attract submissions from both residents and visitors
to the Port Adelaide Enfield area.
In addition, face-to-face meetings were held with
20 members of the community including residents,
staff and volunteers. As a new engagement initiative,
community members were invited to provide video
submissions which was extremely well received. These
videos will be shown during the meeting as part of
Council’s consideration of feedback provided.
In total we had 147 submissions during the consultation
period. Council will consider the submissions and the
final City Plan will be endorsed on 28 June.
Council runs regular consultations across a wide range
of subjects to gather opinion and feedback about our
projects and initiatives. In conducting consultation
activities, Council seeks the involvement of local
communities to gather feedback that may influence
its final decisions.
