The Weatherill government is changing Adelaide forever. It is unrolling a 30-year plan which will allow the development of high-rise, high-density buildings around our parklands, along Linear Park, in front of our suburbs, next to our houses. The government says it has considered transit corridors, cars and pollution, but not the people. This is an insult!

Evonne Moore as spokesperson for the St Peters Residents' Association, submitted a response to Residential Development (Zones and Policy Areas) Development Plan Amendment. The introductory paragraph for each section is below. The full submission expends on this in detail. The submission is one of the many submissions received in response to the plan. On the 5th March 2013, Evonne Moore delivered a verbal submission at the public meeting.
On Monday night 4th February the Norwood, Payneham and St. Peters Council voted to extend the public consultation period for the Residential Development (Zones and Policy Areas) Development Plan Amendment until 1st of March. This was in response to the large community back-lash against the lack of adequate public consultation and community concern about multi-storey flats being crammed into residential streets.
At the government’s behest, our Council has prepared rezoning plans for parts of The Parade Norwood and Kent Town. Sites have been selected to allow multi-storey dwellings to satisfy the government’s demands and at the same time to try to minimize negative impacts on character housing areas and nearby residents. The Kent Town and The Parade Strategic Growth Development Plan Amendment nominates Dequetteville Terrace and the southern side of North Terrace Kent Town for up to 10-storey flats and parts of The Parade for up to 6-storey mixed use development with flats above shops.
