The SPRA has concerns this application contravenes multiple provisions of the P&D Code and the Concept Plan for the site and should be refused.

.
SPRA are pleased that all panel members rejected the plan.
In 1995/6 the Government was allowing Councils to submit proposals for changes to their Development Plans to create Historic (Conservation) Zones, where appropriate, and to nominate items of Local Heritage and Contributory Heritage significance. There was a general acceptance by Councillors for Historic (Conservation) Zones in 1st to 6th Avenues, but lesser support for 7th and 8th, partly because of some inconsistency with newer dwellings between the older ones.
The addition of 7th and 8th Avenues to the Heritage Area Overlay as proposed by this motion will help to ensure that what is built will complement the historic homes and protect the remaining historic dwellings worthy of being protected.
SPRA can report that Cr Moorhouse's motion was unanimously supported by the councillors

A statement was made at the start of the candidates forum for St Peters Ward.
A common misconception is that rate rises are driven by increases in property value. This is not true. In simplistic terms the council determines a budget, the total value of all properties is divided by the budget to determine a rate in the dollar. Rates are rising because the council is spending more.
SPRA will not be endorsing a candidate, but we do suggest that when you consider your choice that you look for a strong, independent candidate who listens to residents and understands the issues facing council. These issues include the risks to financial sustainability, governance and amenity of our area.

This submission is based on the Planning Report prepared for the Aspen Group by UPRS dated 6th December 2024, and other supporting consultant reports.
The proposed redevelopment of the Adelaide Caravan Park, located in Hackney is now open for public comment. Submissions close on 20th June 2025.
The development is described as Torrens Title Land Division creating 47, construction of a six-storey mixed-use building and associated public roads.
As part of this the partial demolition of 2 Local Heritage Places and a change of use to detached dwellings is planned.
The St Peters Residents Association has, in recent years, repeatedly expressed strong concerns at the financial position of the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters, particularly in relation to decisions made regarding the Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre.
These concerns have mostly been the result of Council's decision in late 2023 to continue with the redevelopment of the Payneham Pool.
The first draft of the budget was based on this 8% and showed a modest surplus.
However, at the Council meeting earlier this month, an increase of 8.5% was decided upon.
This is significantly above the 3% CPI the budget is based on, and well above all other metropolitan Adelaide Councils.
