OUR VISION FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA That South Australia is globally competitive, vibrant and connected. We focus our efforts on building on South Australia’s strengths – advanced manufacturing and defence, minerals and resources, premium food and wine, tourism, liveability and a unique environment Adelaide is recognised as one of the world’s most liveable cities and a great place to live and work – with strong and cohesive communities, successful industries and a growing services sector In a fiercely competitive global economy, boosting and continually improving Adelaide’s liveability is a critical economic strategy for South Australia’s long term prosperity Adelaide’s liveability is built on a more compact city with a high quality transport system, healthy and safe communities and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. Greater Adelaide The Greater Adelaide area is home to eight out of ten South Australians and makes up 83 per cent of our economy – needless to say, Adelaide’s viability is critical to our state’s future. While Greater Adelaide residents enjoy a high quality of life, people’s increasing mobility means that we face tough competition from other Australian cities to keep our young people, attract skilled migrants, and grow those industries that rely on expert knowledge and training. Enhancing Greater Adelaide’s liveability, creating a more vibrant city and supporting growth in the city’s successful industries are core aims of the Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan (‘The Plan’). In 2010, The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide (which The Plan works in conjunction with) was released, and it envisaged a more compact city in the future. At the time, property and employment markets were beginning to respond to changes in the state’s economy: namely the rise of the services and information sectors and the decline in traditional manufacturing. It showed that while job growth was strongest in the inner and middle suburbs, population growth occurred mostly in the middle and outer suburbs. This meant that more people had to travel further to work, which in turn put greater pressure on our public transport and road networks. In recent
