The Muriel Matters Magic Lantern Show
Sunday 27 August 1.30pm – 3.30pm
Venue St Peters Town Hall Banquet Room
The St Peters Residents Association in conjunction with the Muriel Matters Society presents a wonderful afternoon of history with a Magic Lantern Show of glass plate slides depicting 19th century Adelaide as you have never seen it.
A development application has been lodged with the Council for a 12m x 4m LED advertising sign on the intersection of Stephen Terrace & Payneham Road above the Ultra Tune establishment. The application is currently out for public consultation and SPRA intends to make a submission to the Council Assessment Panel (CAP) that approval should not be given.
The proposal will look like this. 
Traffic management in our suburbs is of significant concern to the St Peters Residents Association (SPRA). The issues of poor driver behaviour, excessive speed, rat running and parking are frequently raised to the committee.
Topics that have been raised recently include:
Residents have expressed concern about excessive speed and dangerous driving along Richmond Streeet, Hackney. Richmond Street is extremely narrow, especially on the western end towards Hackney Road. Additionally, the footpaths are quite narrow and are often further restricted by vegetation growing out from the properties, causing pedestrians to step onto the carriageway itself. These footpaths are well used by many of those who use the Adelaide Caravan Park and who walk to and from the City through Botanic Park.
A petition requesting changes to slow traffic can be signed at FIX. Speciality Coffee shop.
SPRA have responded to the 2023-2024 Annual Business Plan & Budget.
Concerns raised include:
InDaily have published an article about a high-rise development of nearly 200 apartments in twin tower blocks of 14 and 15 storeys is set to be built behind a closed state heritage listed hotel in Kent Town, after the project was approved by the state’s planning panel.
The committee has monitored the activities of your Council and reported on those activities which we believe would be of interest to members.
Focus areas have included:
Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the St Peters Residents Association held on Wednesday 22nd March at 7.30pm in the St Peters Banquet Hall, including the committee report.
