21St October 2016 Ms Anita Allen C/- Department of Planning, Transport 21st October 2016 Ms Anita Allen c/- Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure GPO Box 1815 Adelaide SA 5001 [email protected] Re: SAIR Submission – 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide - 2016 Update, Draft for Consultation South Australian Independent Retailers (SAIR) representing the Foodland and IGA supermarkets are pleased to provide a submission in relation to the update and review of the 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide. SA Independent Retailers acts on behalf of Foodland and IGA supermarkets. There are 115 South Australia based owners operating a total of 236 Foodland, IGA and Friendly Grocer supermarkets across the State, currently employing more than 15,000 South Australians In principle, SAIR are supportive of the updated 30 Year Plan and the various policy themes that will guide land uses development in the Greater Adelaide region. The policies that underpin the key theme of Transit Corridors, Growth Areas and Activity Centres are of key importance to our owners and operators. We note with interest the wording of Policy 8 under this theme; namely P8 Provide retail and other services outside designated activity centres where development will contribute to the principles of accessibility, a transit-focused and connected city, high quality urban design, economic growth and competitiveness Firstly, it would be useful to have some greater clarity around the wording of this policy, particularly in terms of the size and magnitude of retail development and services that could potentially occur outside of a designated activity centres. We are concerned if this policy resulted in the development of new activity centres outside of existing centre zones in an unplanned or ad-hoc manner as has previously occurred in places such as Renmark, where the result has been a fragmented township and the demise of the town’s main street. There are similar examples in numerous regional towns that we have previously reported. P a g e 1 | 2 ‘advocating for all independent owners of Foodland; IGA and Friendly Grocer supermarkets in South Australia’ PO BOX 2176, KENT TOWN SA 5071 | M: 0413 282 641 | E: [email protected] | ABN: 82 804 971 951 As we have stated previously, there is real risk to the viability of existing centres and in particular regional townships, if new retail developments are allowed to be developed, away from, or far removed, from existing centre zones. If new retail development is going to be allowed to occur outside of existing activity centres, we propose that it should only occur where; 1. A current centre zone is already fully developed i.e. the centre zone is at capacity; and 2. Adjacent land or land immediately abutting or across the road from the existing activity has been unable to be acquired or developed i.e. some form of linear or like expansion of the existing centre was not possible. Given the current retail climate and challenges facing the retail supermarket sector in South Australia, we would also suggest an audit and analysis of current turnover and tenancy occupancy rates for all existing centres in order to form a baseline position. These figures should then be analysed first to ascertain if there is in fact a need for more retail floor space development prior to enabling new centres to develop outside of the existing activity centres. Dependent upon these results it may be that retail development can be accommodated outside of the existing centre zones, if the above two (2) scenarios (listed above) cannot be achieved, particularly if there is over trading in a specific locality and there are little or no tenancy vacancies in existing activity centres. In short, it is vital that existing activity centres or centre zones are fully developed and any expansion or abutting development opportunity fully explored first, before new activity centres are allowed to be develop outside of designated activity centres. Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on this update of the 30 Year Plan, we support it, on the basis that it does not create an uneven playing field by allowing the premature development of comparable scale new retail developments outside of existing activity centres without first exploring the expansion of these existing centres and centre zones and ensuring the existing retail locality can accommodate the new retail development in a centre trading context. We would encourage you to consider the expansion criteria and centre audit proposal referred to above as part of your policy with respect to the development of new retail development outside of existing designated activity centres. If you have any questions, or wish to clarify any aspects of this submission, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned or feel free to contact our planning adviser Ms Amanda Price-McGregor on 0406 124 977. Yours sincerely Colin Shearing Graham Ingerson Chief Executive Officer Government Relations Adviser cc Steven Copus P a g e 2 | 2 ‘advocating for all independent owners of Foodland; IGA and Friendly Grocer supermarkets in South Australia’ PO BOX 2176, KENT TOWN SA 5071 | M: 0413 282 641 | E: [email protected] | ABN: 82 804 971 951 .

  • 1 Background
    1 Background 1.1 Introduction There has been significant public concern regarding the competitiveness of retail prices in the grocery industry in Australia and the pricing of household grocery products. In particular there is concern that Australia has a highly concentrated grocery industry, and while inflation has been low in Australia over the last few years, grocery food prices have increased at a significantly higher rate than the headline inflation rate. In response to these concerns, the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumers Affairs wrote to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on 22 January 2008, directing the ACCC to hold a public inquiry under Part VIIA of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (the Act) into the competitiveness of retail prices for standard groceries. A copy of this letter is at appendix A. 1.2 Terms of reference The instrument attached to the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumers Affairs’ letter stated: I, Chris Bowen, Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs, pursuant to section 95H(2) the Trade Practices Act 1974, hereby require the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to hold an inquiry into the competitiveness of retail prices for standard groceries. Matters to be taken into consideration by the inquiry shall include, but not be restricted to: • the current structure of the grocery industry at the supply, wholesale and retail levels including mergers and acquisitions by the national retailers

  • Purchase by Woolworths of Hawker
    Friends of HAWKER Village Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Woolworths Limited – proposed acquisition of the Supa IGA supermarket in Hawker, ACT Executive Summary • The major national supermarket firms (Woolworths and Coles) face effective competition in the local area from each other and Aldi along the dimension of price. SupaIGA, however, is the only supermarket currently providing effective competition to those majors along the dimension of grocery choice and locational accessibility and convenience. • The proposed sale will substantially lessen the competition currently provided in the latter dimensions, which are known to be very important to the local population. • We submit that the proposed acquisition should not go ahead. WHO ARE WE? The Friends of Hawker Village is a community association established by local residents on 26 June 2010. Its aims are to enhance the residential, suburban, social and environmental qualities of the Hawker catchment area, through participation, in a non-political environment, by community discussion on and input to planning and land management in the ACT as it impacts on local residents, including through advocacy to the ACT and Commonwealth Governments, and advocacy to and representation before tribunals and courts. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE HAWKER SHOPS Residential sites in Hawker started being released in 1971. Belconnen consisted then of Aranda, Cook, Macquarie, Page, Scullin, Higgins, Weetangera and Hawker. The main shopping centre for these suburbs was the Jamison Plaza. A map provided about 1971 (on next page) showed the following design for the proposed Hawker shopping centre. The current shops are located on section 33, just south of Belconnen Way.

    OVERVIEW OF KEY AUSTRALASIAN SUPERMARKET RETAILERS Briefing Document September 2003 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. Recent reports have included an analysis of Retail Globalization: Who’s Winning” and answering the question: “Will selling groceries over the internet ever work?” The lead researcher on this report was Tim Morris, one of the founding partners of Coriolis Research. Tim graduated from Cornell University in New York with a degree in Agricultural Economics, with a specialisation in Food Industry Management. Tim has worked for a number of international retailers and manufacturers, including Nestlé, Dreyer’s Ice Cream, Kraft/General Foods, Safeway and Woolworths New Zealand.

The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane.

  • Urgent Need for Metcash to Arrest Decline
    Urgent Need For Metcash To Arrest Decline Mar 18, 2014 -Need to improve IGA relations -Need to arrest declining share -Need to revitalise store traffic By Eva Brocklehurst Brokers are worried about the declining revenue trend and fear dividends may be reduced further. Whatever the outcome of the review, to be revealed on Friday, there will be costs, that's for sure. There is increased competition from the majors as well as Aldi in the key markets of South Australia and Western Australia. JP Morgan fears the execution of the company's plans will go awry because of the lack of vertical integration and fiercely independent retailers with a distrustful attitude. UBS was hopeful back in December that after the re-basing of the earnings profile there would be scope for a re-rating of Metcash. CIMB was one of the most optimistic. The broker liked the stated desire to shift focus away from wholesaling to the consumer but the company had problems with the lack of constructive co-operation from its retailers. Whatever the outcome of the review, the broker noted a lower dividend and reinstated reinvestment program was a sign that Metcash was preparing the balance sheet. Macquarie was not inclined to think the strategic review would do anything to alleviate the downward pressure on the stock. The core food and grocery division experienced a 1.5% fall in revenue in the first half and this was the second consecutive half-year of revenue decline. On an underlying revenue growth basis, adjusting for the Franklins acquisition as well as the closure of Supabarn and Campbell's Warehouse, JP Morgan is disturbed by a trend decline that's been happening since the second half of 2012.

The Centre, which receives funding from the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) and La Trobe University, is led by Professor Robin Room and located at La Trobe’s Franklin Street campus in Melbourne. CAPR is unlike any other research facility in Australia, as its sole focus is on building the evidence-base on alcohol-related issues. This places CAPR at the forefront of informed alcohol policy development in Australia. CAPR not only contributes to policy discussions in Australia but also contributes to international studies of significance for the World Health Organization. An example of its international work is the GENACIS project, which examines gender alcohol and culture in more than 40 countries. The Centre has also undertaken a pioneering study, The range and magnitude of alcohol’s harm to others, that is the cost of alcohol-related harms on people other than the drinker, otherwise referred to as third party harms.
