Project Information

The City Plan - Adelaide 2036 outlines the City of Adelaide’s spatial plan for the sustainable growth and development of our city. It provides an urban design framework to guide planning within the City of Adelaide, working towards Council’s target population of 50,000 residents by 2036.

Building on existing plans and commitments, City Plan – Adelaide 2036 will promote city growth that is centred around the needs of its people, now and into the future.

The City Plan has been developed through a four-stage process involving extensive research and community collaboration. This approach has helped us understand how we want to live, work, learn, play, and connect in our capital city in the future.

We asked for your feedback on the draft City Plan – Adelaide 2036 to seek additional comment on the draft plan, to check our priorities and strategies, and to ask for your input on the Local Area Framework.

City Plan – Adelaide 2036 will be a guide for sustainable growth and development in the City of Adelaide. It is part of the City of Adelaide’s suite of Strategic Management Plans, as outlined in the Strategic Plan 2024-2028.

The City Plan is informed by city wide spatial analysis developed and distilled from over 400 datasets. The datasets have been used to develop metrics to analyse and measure interventions, outcomes, and progress. These metrics will be used to assess, track and monitor outcomes and growth across the city.

Input from the community has also shaped the priorities and strategies outlined in the draft City Plan, including the City Plan Studio in September 2023, and online engagement and local area focus groups in April 2024.

September 2023 - City Plan Studio: Five in-person studio workshop sessions with key stakeholders and residents’ groups, with drop-in exhibition sessions.

March 2024 - Mapping Survey: Online spatially mapped 'pin-drop' survey, to help identify opportunities for growth and renewal, housing growth and contributing local identity elements.

April 2024 - Local Area Focus Groups: Five local area focus groups, facilitated to test and validate the draft City Plan and previous engagement outcomes. Each focus group comprised of a mix of small business owners, resident’s representative of the area’s demographics, different ages, gender, tenure and household types. The outcomes of the focus groups have informed the Local Area Framework in the draft City Plan.

June-July 2024 - Consultation on the draft City Plan – Adelaide 2036: Online survey and written submissions on the draft City Plan. A summary of what we heard, and how City Plan was amended in response, is available in the consultation summary (link here).
