SUMMARY From 10 August 2020 to 2 September 2020, the City of Adelaide (CoA) sought community feedback using a variety of online, hard copy and other media avenues on what community services community and patrons of the Adelaide South West Community Centre (ASWCC) value in their local area; more specifically, feedback forms asked: If they utilise the community services/facilities at the ASWCC; • To highlight the 3 most important aspects of the ASWCC they value the most; • To highlight the 3 most important aspects of any community facility they value the most; • Would they like Council to consider other ways to provide community services in the south west; and • Any other feedback regarding Community Services - South West City. 2. BACKGROUND In 2004, residents identified the building at 171- 173 Sturt Street known as the ASWCC as their preferred site for a local neighbourhood facility and in July 2005, the ASWCC was officially opened. Since then, the ASWCC has provided a focus for resident connection, wellbeing and community building. It currently provides a meeting place and event venue for a range of community and special interest groups, a variety of community programs, as well as a number of services including public computers, library selection, collection and return services, and a location for city residents to pick up kitchen caddies and compostable liner bags, and information on CoA promotions, programs and services. The current lease over the property at 171 Sturt Street expires on 28 February 2021 and as such, Council conducted community engagement to understand the needs of the community to help inform how we can best deliver these services for the community into the future beyond the current lease. For the purposes of this engagement, the “South West City” was defined as approximately 500 metres around Iparrityi/Whitmore Square. The purpose of this was to capture feedback from a broad range of community members across different neighbourhoods in the south west and city south. 1 Community Services – South West City Figure 1 Community Services – South West City Consultation Map 3. CONSULTATION The community engagement was undertaken from 10 August 2020 to 2 September 2020. Key activities in this engagement included: • Direct stakeholder engagement via email or face-to-face interaction including volunteers, users of the centre, local organisations, schools, City South Association, South West City Community Association (SWCCA), local businesses and hire groups • A City of Adelaide Community electronic newsletter to a database of 5,477 people • YourSay web page with consultation pack, FAQs, online discussion board and direct email to database • Site signage at various public locations in the engagement area • Social media, including Facebook and twitter posts Responses to questions have been collated and analysed and the findings discussed below. The key demographics of respondents and their verbatim feedback are outlined in Appendix 1. A community meeting was also held at the ASWCC on 9 September 2020 hosted by SWCCA to discuss the future of the ASWCC. 2 Community Services – South West City – September 2020 3.1 Feedback Forms – Online and Hardcopy The consultation online through the Your Say Adelaide site produced a total of 61 responses and an additional 18 were submitted by hard copy. 6 of the 18 hard copies were not completed as per the instructions and cannot be compared with the online responses. Where possible, the responses have been collated, but for some questions this was not possible and as such have been separated in the report. Verbatim comments are provided in Appendix 1. 3.1.1 Responses to the question, “Do you currently use the community services/facilities at the Adelaide South West Community Centre (ASWCC)?” for both online and hard copy were as follows: Figure 2: Collated Responses 3.1.2 Responses to the question, “In terms of the ASWCC, what do you value the most? (Tick the 3 most important to you)” were as follows: Figure 3: Online Responses Figure 4: Hardcopy Responses 3 Community Services – South West City 3.1.3 Responses to the question, “What aspects of any community facility do you value the most? (Tick the 3 most important to you) “were as follows; Figure 5: Online Responses Figure 6: Hardcopy Responses 4 Community Services – South West City – September 2020 3.1.4 Responses to the question, “Would you like Council to consider other ways to provide community services in the south west?” for both online and hardcopy were as follows: Figure 7: Collated Responses 3.2 Other Feedback and Submissions Council also received five direct emails from individuals, three direct emails submissions from community groups and one phone call. Verbatim email comments and copies of the submissions have been provided in Appendix 1. Feedback from the community meeting hosted by SWCCA on the 9 September 2020 included that they wanted to see Council secure a new building larger than the current ASWCC site located west of Morphett street and that can be used as a flexible and multiuse space. They also were interested in Council exploring partnerships to deliver a variety of activities on site. CONCLUSION Some of the key community engagement results include: • Respondents were primarily existing users of the ASWCC with a demographic prolife as being older than 50 years of age, mostly female and CoA rate payers • In terms of the ASWCC, respondents said they valued a meeting space and event venue, programs and activities offered and community connections and socialising • In terms of any community facility, community said they valued flexible, multiuse spaces, accessible and inclusive of a range of people and communities and within walking distance • Respondents indicated they would like Council to consider delivering programs in Park Lands, playgrounds, streets, verges and pocket parks • There was strong feedback throughout the consultation that respondents would prefer Council to investigate relocating the ASWCC to a new building that is staffed, for community to use beyond the end of the current lease. 5 Community Services – South West City – September 2020 APPENDIX 1 3.3 Key demographics 3.3.1 Over 90% of respondents live, work, study or play in the "South West City" and of those respondents, people identified themselves as mostly people who live or play in the South West. Please note respondents could tick multiple options. 3.3.2 When asked if respondents were CoA Rate Payers, 56% replied Yes, 39% replied No and 5% did not answer. 3.3.3 61% of respondents identified as Female, 35% Male and 4% Other. 3.3.4 Of the 23 respondents who answered their year of birth, 20 of them were born prior to 1970 and 3 were born after 1970. 3.4 Verbatim Comments on Online and Hardcopy submissions Respondents who ticked “other” for question 3 - In terms of the ASWCC, what do you value the most? 1. The skilled and experienced staff in providing the valuable role of connecting and supporting the very diverse needs of the community - from the Chinese Welfare Group to yoga and providing much needed facilitation for the many different social services 2. Childhood Immunisations 3. I value most that the Centre having started with the clear intent of being welcoming of everyone, providing space for locals to meet about local issues and being activities focused as a basis for people to get to know each other, the Centre has developed in line with suggestions made by locals and others using the Centre, within the scope of its current building. 4. I think it's wrong to insist that I limit my choice to only three activities or services that I value about ASWCC. I could tick most of the above options as contributing to what I value most about the community centre in Sturt Street. 5. find out more activities that help me improve my skills, knowledge and life 6. I take Spanish lessons there, which has been for 2 years now. I have met and made friendships with several people, which has expanded

  • Reclaiming the Kaurna Language: a Long and Lasting Collaboration in an Urban Setting
    Vol. 8 (2014), pp. 409-429 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4613 Series: The Role of Linguists in Indigenous Community Language Programs in Australia1 Reclaiming the Kaurna language: a long and lasting collaboration in an urban setting Rob Amery University of Adelaide A long-running collaboration between Kaurna people and linguists in South Australia be- gan in 1989 with a songbook. Following annual community workshops and the estab- lishment of teaching programs, the author embarked on a PhD to research historical sources and an emerging modern language based on these sources. In response to numer- ous requests for names, translations and information, together with Kaurna Elders Lewis O’Brien and Alitya Rigney, the author and others formed Kaurna Warra Pintyandi (KWP) in 2002. It is a monthly forum where researchers, and others interested in Kaurna lan- guage, can meet with Kaurna people to discuss their concerns. KWP, based at the Univer- sity of Adelaide, is not incorporated and attendance of meetings is voluntary. The com- mittee has gained a measure of credibility and respect from the Kaurna community, gov- ernment departments and the public and has recently signed a Memorandum of Under- standing with the University of Adelaide. However, KWP and the author sit, uneasily at times, at the intersection between the University and the community. This paper explores the nature of collaboration between Kaurna people and researchers through KWP in the context of reliance on historical documentation, much of which is open to interpretation. Linguistics provides some of the skills needed for interpretation of source materials.

  • Adelaide Botanic Gardens Conservation Study
    5.0 ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Section 5.0 ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Figure 5.1 Extract of Western Wild Garden landscape design prepared by landscape architect Allan Correy in 1964. 199 ADELAIDE BOTANIC GARDEN CONSERVATION STUDY 5.1 KAURNA / ABORIGINAL VALUES In terms of Kaurna and Aboriginal cultural significance to the place, anthropologist Norman Tindale first described the Kaurna tribe as occupying the Adelaide plains and consisting of several groups of people or ‘hoades’ (Tindale 1974, p.213; Tindale 1987, pp.5-13), thereby geographically locating the Kaurna country and epithet ‘Kaurna’. William Wyatt first used the term Kaurna when describing the tribal associations of ‘Encounter Bay Bob’ (Wyatt 1879, p.24), but its origins may lie in ‘Bob’s association with the Kouandilla district of the Adelaide tribe’ (Wyatt 1879, p.23). Cowandilla is a contemporary derived nomenclature applied to a tract of the northern Adelaide plains. There appears to have been several districts within the larger ‘Adelaide tribe’ territory which spread from the Gawler River in the north to the Willunga basin in the sought flanked by the Mount Lofty escarpment to the east (Hemming 1990, p.126-142). When interviewed in 1927 Ivaritji claimed that she belonged to the ‘Dundagunya tribe’ which is probably a corruption of the contemporary name Tandanja that Tindale ascribed as occupying the area encompassed by the City of Adelaide (Gara 1990, p.64; Tindale 1987, p.10). The term Tandanya refers to a site south of Adelaide associated with the Red Kangaroo Dreaming, and Tindale claims the Tandanya clan of ‘Kaurna’ was named after the Red Kangaroo and that their main totem was the emu (Hemming 1990, p.137).

Its ‘Environment’ is described as: DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER Whitmore Square will continue to be the focus of residential activity in the south-west of the City. Built form in the Precinct will be required to reinforce this role and be residential in character and scale. The landscaped space of Whitmore Square has a traditional urban residential character provided by lawned areas and tall trees. Paving, planting, lighting and street furniture are to enhance the Square and provide areas for recreation. The existing pedestrian network will be progressively improved to allow more convenient and safe access to the Square itself, the Central Market and the South Park Lands. Opportunities will be taken to reduce the amount of land given over to parking or roadways, and traffic will continue to be restricted to the perimeter of the Square. Land Use No components in Whitmore Square are identified in the State Heritage Register. The land use has remained consistently, as proposed by Light, as a public park or village common. There is one area of significance evident in terms of its use and function: No components of Wellington Square are identified on the National Trust of South Australia’s Register of Significant Trees. Whitmore Square Park Use (J&E LA.12): the overall Square has retained its design intent and purpose as proposed by Light in 1836.

It was named by the Street Naming Committee after William Wolryche Whitmore, a British Member of Parliament who introduced the South Australia Foundation Act to Clearly Whitmore Square was included in these discussions and the planting program. the British House of Commons. No change to the Square’s configuration has occurred since the original survey. On 4 May 1854 the colonial government, through the Lieutenant Governor, acceded to this proposal and granted £2,000, in that time a considerable expenditure “for planting and ornamenting the squares of the city” to a level that “the Council may be enabled to carry out in a manner satisfactory to the Citizens of Adelaide” (Colonial Secretary to Town Clerk, 4 May 1854, VS18540504; Colonial Secretary to Town Clerk, 4 May 1854, GRG 24/6/1108. Reputedly, over half of this money was expended on works in Victoria Square. A condition of the funds was that tenders would “be called for by advertisement for fencing and planting the squares of Adelaide in accordance with plans and specifications adopted by the Council.” Whether the contract was actually advertised in the newspapers is unclear, but horticulturist and later first director of the Adelaide Botanic Garden George Francis was the successful tenderer (Worsnop 1878, p.

  • FINAL Adelaide Park Lands Heritage Assessment 190122
    Heritage Assessment – Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares Issue Date: 17-May-2018 HERITAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT NAME: Adelaide Park Lands, Squares and PLACE: 13717 City Layout ADDRESS: Park Lands, Adelaide, South Australia APPROACH DASH Architects was engaged by the State Heritage Unit of the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) to undertake a Heritage Assessment of the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares’ for the consideration of the South Australian Heritage Council. Two nominations were received for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares in 2009: • ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares’; and • ‘Adelaide Park Lands, City Squares and Gardens’. This Heritage Assessment (report) has considered to the two State heritage nominations, as well as the 2008 National Heritage Listing for the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout’. There are many individual places that have already been identified as being of State Heritage significance in their own right within the study area of this report. The scope of this assessment is not to review these, encompass them in a single listing or identify potential additional places. Rather, the scope of this assessment is to consider the nominations ‘as a whole of place’, rather than a collection of elements. DRAFT The Authors of this report have determined that it is not possible to consider the potential heritage significance of the Adelaide Park Lands and Squares without considering their historical and physical context within both Edward Wakefield’s theories for the colonial settlement of the State of South Australia, and Colonel William Light’s subsequent plan for its capital. For this reason, this Heritage Assessment has been extended beyond the nominations to consider the potential heritage significance of the City Layout, as represented in Light’s 1837 plan.

  • Adelaide As an Aboriginal Landscape
    ADELAIDE AS AN ABORIGINAL LANDSCAPE Philip A. Clarke Introduction The relationships pre-European Aboriginal people had with their landscape were complex. Nevertheless, the reconstructive ethnographic literature for southern South Australia has tended to regard Aboriginal geographic knowledge as having been the product of 'tribal' relations with a more or less constant area of terrestrial landscape.1 The erroneous belief in cultural homogeneity within the 'tribe', has led various researchers to look for 'true' expressions of a culture, such as portrayed by myth. Nevertheless, evidence provided by the early ethnographies indicates that there were wide ranging geographic views within cultural groups. Furthermore, the recorded mythology of many Aboriginal cultures illustrates perceived connections with distant landscapes. In this paper, I account for the diverse range of links to the landscape that Adelaide Aboriginal people possessed. This is a study in cultural geography, considering both material and nonmaterial aspects of Aboriginal cultural construction of the landscape. The historical background The primary focus of this paper is Aboriginal land relationships prior to and during the early phases of European occupation. Much of the early Adelaide ethnographic material was derived from the observations of Europeans involved in the colonial welfare of Aboriginal people. From 1840 to 1846, German missionaries, Schürmann, Teichelmann, and Meyer, provided detailed accounts of the Aboriginal inhabitants of the newly settled districts about Port Lincoln, Adelaide and Encounter Bay.2 Their deep academic interest in Aboriginal culture included an investigation of the existence of an Aboriginal 'Supreme Being' to facilitate Christianising processes. Most other early studies are based on data collected by these missionaries, with other sources, such as Williams, Gell, Cawthome, Wilhelmi, and Taplin relying heavily on their data.3 Further accounts used in this paper, for instance Wyatt, Stephens and Finlayson, were recorded much later as reminiscences.4 In this Philip A.
