APPENDIX B – LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT The requirements for a community land management plan for the Park Lands are established in the Adelaide Park Lands Act 2005 and the Local Government Act 1999. These are explained below.

The Adelaide Park Lands

The Adelaide Park Lands Act 2005 establishes the Adelaide Park Lands Authority (“APLA”) to provide policy advice to Council on Park Lands issues. APLA has a responsibility to prepare and maintain the Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy (“the APLMS”) for the Park Lands.

It is Council’s responsibility to ensure that its Community Land Management Plan for the Park Lands is consistent with the APLMS. The Act provides direction for the Park Lands through its statutory principles (provided below at 1.4.1) and also defines the extent of the Park Lands with the Adelaide Park Lands Plan (see Figure 2 below).

In preparing each Chapter of the Park Lands CLMP, Council had regard to, and has sought to apply, the Statutory principles established in the Adelaide Park Lands Act 2005 (section 4), as follows:

(a) The land comprising the Adelaide Park Lands should, as far as is reasonably appropriate, correspond to the general intentions of Colonel William Light in establishing the first Plan of Adelaide in 1837; (b) The Adelaide Park Lands should be held for the public benefit of the people of South Australia, and should be generally available to them for their use and enjoyment (recognising that certain uses of the Park Lands may restrict or prevent access to particular parts of the Park Lands); (c) The Adelaide Park Lands reflect and support a diverse range of environmental, cultural, recreational and social values and activities that should be protected and enhanced; (d) The Adelaide Park Lands provide a defining feature for the City of Adelaide and contribute to the economic and social well-being of the City in a manner that should be recognised and enhanced; (e) The contribution that the Adelaide Park Lands make to the natural heritage of the Adelaide Plains should be recognised, and consideration given to the extent to which initiatives involving the Park Lands can improve the biodiversity and sustainability of the Adelaide Plains; (f) The State Government, State agencies and authorities, and the Adelaide City Council, should actively seek to co-operate and collaborate with each other in order to protect and enhance the Adelaide Park Lands; (g) The interests of the South Australian community in ensuring the preservation of the Adelaide Park Lands are to be recognised, and activities that may affect the Park Lands should be consistent with maintaining or enhancing the environmental, cultural, recreational and social heritage status of the Park Lands for the benefit of the State.

Figure 2: Adelaide Park Lands Plan

Local Government Act Council must manage its community land (the Adelaide Park Lands) in accordance with its management plan for the land (s. 199 of the Local Government Act 1999). As well as the requirements under the Adelaide Park Lands Act 2005, the Local Government Act 1999 establishes certain requirements for Council’s management plan for the Adelaide Park Lands (s.196).

According to the Local Government Act 1999 (s.196(3)), community land management plans must:

1 Identify the land covered by the CLMP. See Figure 2, the Adelaide Park Lands Plan (s. 196(9)). 2 Purpose that the land is held. The Adelaide Park Lands are managed for the benefit or enjoyment of the community. 3 Objectives, Policies and Proposals for the management of the land. See individual chapters for each Park or group of Parks. 4 Performance targets and measures (for the CLMP as a whole):

 Annual reviews of Council staff and the public  Monitoring of Council decision-making processes  Monitoring of complaints to Council  Reviews of Park Lands Ten Year Action Plan and actions completed will be undertaken to ensure the CLMP is effective and adhered to. 5 Arrangements or restrictions on public use / movement. See individual chapters for each Park or group of Parks and 1.2.2.6 below. 6 Specific information on Council’s policies for the granting of leases / licences. A lease or licence in the Park Lands must be consistent with this CLMP (s. 202(6)). Council may grant a lease or licence over community land following Council’s Public Communication and Consultation Policy (s.202(2)). Consultation is not required if the grant of the lease or licence is authorised in the CLMP and the term of the lease or licence is 5 years or less (s. 202(3)). Events in the Park Lands The Park Lands may be subject to leases and licences for events where the use is:  consistent with the objectives of management of the Park  provides community benefit and  supports the outdoor recreational use of the Park Lands, consistent with the Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy and subject to the provisions outlined above.

Events in the Park Lands are managed according to Council’s Events in the Park Lands Policy.

See individual chapters for each Park or group of Parks about events in that Park or group of Parks. Sporting leases and licences The Park Lands may be subject to sporting leases and licences where the use:

 is consistent with the objectives of management of the Park  provides community benefit and  supports the outdoor recreational use of the Park Lands, consistent with the Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy and subject to the provisions outlined above. Areas currently used for sporting leases and licences are shown on the Lease and Licence Area maps in each Chapter of the CLMP. Leases for commercial facilities The Park Lands may be subject to leases and licences for commercial services (such as restaurants, cafes, hire services etc.) where the use:  is consistent with the objectives of management of the Park  provides community benefit and  supports outdoor recreational use of the Park Lands, consistent with the Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy and subject to the provisions outlined above. Areas currently used for commercial facilities are shown on the Lease and Licence Area maps in each Chapter of the CLMP. The Park Lands are exempt from the application of the Retail and Commercial Leases Act 1995. Temporary Works and Compounds The Park Lands may be subject to leases and licences for temporary works and compounds where the use is:

 required for a period of one year or less  restricted in the extent of exclusion of the public (area of one hectare or less)  for the purpose of constructing, improving or maintaining infrastructure on or adjacent to Park Lands and  for the purposes of Council or Government instrumentalities or contractors acting on their behalf.

APPENDIX C - PLANNING CONTEXT National Heritage List The National Heritage List is the nation’s highest heritage honour and is managed by the federal government according to the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999 (Cth). The Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout was recognised in November 2008. It is the overall layout of the City and surrounding Park Lands, the layout of the two city areas separated by the River Torrens, the six town squares and the grid of major and minor roads that are listed for their historic value. For the purposes of the CLMP, it is important to recognise the importance of views and vistas through, into and out of the Park. The Development Plan also identifies state and local heritage places in the Park Lands which are managed subject to the heritage provisions of the Development Act 1993 and the Adelaide (City) Development Plan. These places are identified in each chapter of the CLMP.

The 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide The 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide is the State Government’s strategic plan for the vision of Adelaide over the next thirty years. It addresses the open space needs and expectations of the growing residential communities of the City of Adelaide and adjacent local government areas, such as Unley, Norwood, Payneham and St Peters, Burnside, Prospect, Walkerville and Charles Sturt. The 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide reinforces the role of the Park Lands as a major recreational, sporting, natural and open-space asset servicing metropolitan Adelaide. The 30 Year Plan highlights the following considerations which specifically relate to the CLMP:  increased population  ageing population and  increased rate of obesity. Further analysis is provided here of how the 30 Year Plan relates to the CLMP and issues which are considered as the chapters are developed dealing with various Parks, groups of Parks or parts of Parks.  Includes the following policies relating to the Adelaide City Centre (p.85): 5. strengthen built-form edge of the City facing the Park Lands 6. frame the outer edge of the Park Lands 9. regenerate Victoria Square 10. reinforce role of the Park Lands as a major recreational, sporting, natural and open- space asset servicing metropolitan Adelaide 11.-activate the Park Lands to increase appeal and safety through increased passive surveillance. Encourage events which are sited and managed to minimise impact on the Park Lands.  Includes the following policies relating to Open Space, Sport and Recreation (p.130):  Provides a network of walking, cycling and horse riding trails  Introduces ‘greenways’

 Recognises importance of integrated sporting facilities accessible by all communities.

 Includes the following policies relating to Greater Adelaide Open Space System (p.132):  provide for Greater Adelaide Open Space framework that builds on MOSS  ensure open space is accessible by all  protect and improve the amenity, accessibility and useability of the National Heritage- listed Park Lands to ensure they function as a highly valued green belt for the City of Adelaide and as a focal point for community activity.

 Includes the following policies relating to Greenways (p.135):  connect the Park Lands by paths and trails for walking and cycling.

Creating Our Future, City of Adelaide Strategic Plan 2008-2012 The City of Adelaide Strategic Plan 2012-2016 establishes the strategic context for the CLMP and incorporates the following outcome statement: City of Great Places - The Park Lands and River Torrens are treasured landscapes and places of diverse outdoor activities and events, used by residents and visitors alike Accessible City - A City of well-connected places that’s easy to get to and around Liveable City - Diverse recreational opportunities and green spaces support the wellbeing of residents and visitors Environmentally Sustainable City - Ecological systems and habitats that thrive and enrich the City and the following strategic directions to: Protect and activate the City’s built heritage and Park Lands Improve accessibility and connectivity into and within the City and Park Lands Create, facilitate and grow recreation and sport programs and facilities that support all people to be active Protect and improve the ecological values of watercourses and the Park Lands

Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy: Towards 2020 Development of the Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy (“the APLMS”) by the Adelaide Park Lands Authority was a requirement of the Adelaide Park Lands Act 2005. The Act requires that the CLMP be developed and that it be consistent with the APLMS.

The Strategy establishes detailed principles on:  Management  Landscape  Recreation  Natural Systems  Heritage.

Refer to the Overview section above re the Vision for the Park Lands and Qualities Sought for the Park Lands.

Adelaide Park Lands Landscape Master Plan The Adelaide Park Lands Landscape Master Plan (the Landscape Master Plan) was developed as a recommendation from the APLMS. The Landscape Master Plan builds on the landscape direction in the APLMS, being: • Reinforcement of the ‘City in a Park’ concept; • Recognition and interpretation of the Park Lands heritage and cultural landscape significance; • A strong and distinctive cultural landscape character with unique and diverse features; • A unified Park Lands with strong linkages within and beyond, and community appreciation of them; and • A reinvigorated and enhanced River Torrens/Karrawirra Parri landscape. The Landscape Master Plan provides a landscape vision for the Park Lands: ….”to develop the diverse landscapes of the Park Lands to provide rest and respite, places for active recreation and sports, greater biodiversity and support for the evolving contemporary urban lifestyle of Adelaideans.”

Four different zones within the Park Lands form the basis for landscape direction in the Park Lands (see Figure 3 below). \ Figure 3 - The Landscape Master Plan was adopted by Council in April 2011.

Council Policies, Strategies & Plans related to the Park Lands Council Policies which apply across the Park Lands are explained below: The Adelaide (City) Development Plan: The Adelaide (City) Development Plan establishes the legislative requirements for development in the City including the Park Lands under the Development Act 1993 and comes into effect should development be proposed. It contains Objectives to achieve the Desired Character and Principles of Development Control for the Park Lands Zone and should be read in conjunction with the Park Lands CLMP. The Development recognises the various uses and functions of the Park Lands and the need to balance these issues.

The desired character for the Zone is comprised of: (a) a unique open space system which is the most valued characteristic of the historic layout of the City providing a distinctive image for the City; (b) conservation and enhancement for the relaxation, enjoyment and leisure of the City’s workers, residents and students, the metropolitan population and visitors; (c) open publicly accessible landscaped park setting for the built-form of South Adelaide and North Adelaide, which separates the built areas of the City from the surrounding suburban areas; (d) a balance of both formal and informal recreational activities including sporting clubs, walking and cycling trails, formal gardens and passive recreation areas as well as providing a setting for a variety of special events such as festivals and sporting events; and (e) enhancement of the Park Lands through the reduction in building floor areas, fenced and hard paved areas.

Park Lands Asset Management Plans  Reinforce that the Park Lands are managed to supply the public with outcomes which include Quality, Reliability, Sustainability, Safety and Accessibility at an affordable cost. These criteria represent a level of service that is determined by Corporate Strategy and Budgets. Change of use or future development will impact on the ability to maintain the current Level of Service.

Smart Move Strategy – The City of Adelaide’s Transport and Movement Strategy 2012-22 The Strategy outlines Council’s transport and movement outcomes for the City and sets the direction for achieving an Accessible City, particularly outlining the pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle parking within the Park Lands and Squares. In order to achieve an Accessible City, the existing networks will be strengthened and expanded to facilitate movement.

Key relevant strategic directions of this policy are:

 Easy Walking Improved pedestrian access to the Park Lands and Squares, including upgrading existing paths and providing new paths to key facilities, ensuring the Park Lands are safe, well maintained and well-lit for day and night-time access, and completion of the Park Lands Trail.

 Safe cycling Improved cyclist accessibility to the City and Park Lands, including improved cyclist information and navigation, taking into account the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users, vehicle drivers and the visually impaired.

 Smart Parking Appropriate car parking uses in the Park Lands, including on-street and off-street parking for users of the Park Lands, particularly in the evenings and at weekends. On roads adjacent to the Park Lands, priority for on-street parking will be given to short-term parking (under four hours) for users of the Park Lands. In the longer term, all-day free parking in and around the Park Lands will be removed. With the support of the beneficiary clubs and organisations, Council will seek to reduce the total area of the Park Lands used for parking by improving the distribution and layout of existing car parks. Council will continue to provide fee-based temporary parking for events, while protecting vegetation.
