Thanks to all those who were among the estimated 500 people who attended the Peoples Forum on Wednesday 18th September in the Norwood Concert Hall. The speakers, including two planning experts from Sydney and Melbourne, outlined the issues that heritage will face under the new Planning & Design Code, and offered some constructive alternative suggestions.
This is the first SPRA Newsletter for some time, however the Association has continued to maintain a watching brief over Government and Council policy issues, and to consider matters that affect our Council area such as the planning changes being forced on to inner suburban councils, by the State Government.
During the year particular effort has been put into the St Peters Heroes Memorial project which will shortly be complete.

Welcome to the first email newsletter of the St Peters Residents' Association (SPRA). This newsletter discusses the Residential Development Planning Amendment, the Rally at 2pm on Monday 18th and the new website. SPRA believes that new development should complement the valued character of existing residential areas and be of a high standard. It is committed to helping residents maintain or improve the character and amenity of their residential areas.
For over 50 years SPRA has been a non-party political resident action group with members from Hackney, College Park, St Peters, Joslin, Stepney, Maylands and Evandale suburbs in Adelaide, South Australia. Financial membership allows you to vote at our annual general meeting and join the committee.
We appreciate the support of our members. It ensures continued representation at Council level to protect the things that are special about our locality - low-density living and the generally good amenities.
The St. Peters Residents Association was formed in the 1970s when the former St. Peters Council proposed allowing demolition of the area’s historic houses and to encourage the erection of higher density two-storey walk up flats, This was a time when Don Dunstan wanted to build 10-storey flats at Hackney. Fortunately the residents of Hackney rose in revolt and the government retreated. The St Peter’s Council then zoned a large part of the Town as Residential 1 so protecting the old homes. This was later further protected by the declaration of Historic Conservation Zones.
