Russell says the changes that will take place covers the entire state as the State Government changes the zoning for the entire state all at once. He notes of understanding the rationale of why the State Government was doing such change, but they need to adhere to the commitment they made by changing like for like. Russell says for their area and other council areas, the State Government is no longer changing like for like and is taking dramatic changes. He discusses row houses which are like the 1960s blocks of flats.

Caller Nigel says he lives in the Marino area and there are a number of place on Brighton Road where single houses have been knocked down. He says he wants to know what's the minimum size of a house and how many people should be on a block. Bevan notes houses should only measure from 350 to 300 sqm and 10 meters frontage to 9 meters. Hanna notes how complicated it is to determine the exact number of houses allowed on a block as Marino has a special case due to its slope. He says the State Government will put some special slope provisions, which is why he Marino will experience greater density if the plan of the State Government went ahead. Hanna discusses the issues about homes not having a view, as some houses are like rectangular prisms which blocks everyone's view.

Clarke reads a Facebook comment by Michael saying he is not sure if the council got much out of the money in repairs as the work looked like basic timber bracing and the remaining diversion is not signposted on Cove Road. She asks if there are not many signs around the area and Hannah states he talked with managers to increase the signages and he thought they had improved it but says it is not good enough for some still. Clarke asks his timeline to get the funding to make the long term repairs for the boardwalk. Hannah states there are still difficulties in fixing the 500m diversion and adds it is a matter of getting the fund for it to be finished. He informs they were told the budget for the difficult spots on the boardwalk is at $4,750,000.

Clarke asks how much of the boardwalk is not yet accessible and Hannah says about half of a kilometre is not yet open as there are two steep gullies which are challenging and they have asked for help from the State Government for this. Clarke inquires about the repairs made on the boardwalk and if the materials used can survive for a long time. He answers the repairs made can survive for a short while and in a few years they will need $14m or $15m to redo the boardwalk. Clarke asks if Hannah will work together with the State Government to get additional funding other than the $15m and he says they will ask for help from the State Government as the facility is for locals, people all over Adelaide and even tourists. He adds he talked to Steven Marshall who were encouraging David Speirs to finish the boardwalk and also Federal member Amanda Rishworth who wants action for this issue. Clarke asks how much the short time repairs cost and he says the council spent over $200,000 to $250,000 so far which includes the safety assessment and design of the boardwalk and the fixing itself.

Stinson explains the planning and design part is entirely the creation and reform facility of the current Liberal Government, noting it's responsible for consulting with people around it as well as figuring out the detail of what is actually to be involved in the process. Bevan notes the process started under John Row. Stinson says the Government is the one who has figured out what the zonings are and how to consult with the community, adding the Government has to take responsibility for the matter and see that it's implemented properly. She states her community is saying that it's very hard for it to understand what is being proposed for the neighbourhood, adding the community also wants to provide proper feedback because there are so many errors, like character zones not being reflected and missing roads. She notes it looks like the consultation period will finish next week and it will be implemented without people getting a second look at the draft.

Hanna discusses the fortunate position of the Marion Council when the Government introduced the infill since the Marion planning rules changed in 2003. He notes the street congestion with too many cars. Hanna says they took a complicate two-year process going through the entire city where they ended up with a plan which the community was consulted on. He says most people in the North of Marion wants restrictions on infill, and the State Government approved their plan to limit the infill in the North part of Marion. Hanna notes that what was approved last August should be reinstated by the same Government. He notes the Minister for Planning [Stephan Knoll] signed off on their proposal to limit infill, which will be superseded by the new plan. [cont]

DUE to a perfect storm of factors - state planning regulations that allow two houses where one stood, state planning regulations that allow the unfettered development of a new Care-to-Year 6 school and the impact of the Darlington upgrade - traffic along Wattle Ave has reached levels that it was never designed for.

The imminent Hove crossing work, whilst sorely needed, will only exacerbate the situation in the medium term. From 3pm to 6pm on Tuesday February 4, 549 vehicles travelled west and 311 travelled east.

Similar figures apply in the morning.

During peak hours, Wattle Ave has become a significant thoroughfare. I understand that the solution to this problem is a complex one; however, it must be grappled with. I urge the council and the State Liberal Government to be innovative, courageous and resolute in addressing it.

RATEPAYERS will be able to compare how the efficiency of spending in their local council contrasts with neighbouring areas in a new benchmarking system to expose waste.

Local Government Minister Stephan Knoll, pictured, will today confirm broad support for nine recommendations made by a state-based Productivity Commission inquiry into reducing council costs for ratepayers and business.

The report found council rates in SA had risen by about twice the level of inflation over the past decade and proposed a new system of transparent online "benchmarking".

The system, expected to be operating late this year, has been trialled by three Adelaide councils, and delivered significant savings in those areas.

It has conditional backing from the Local Government Association as being a less blunt tool than rate capping which they strongly opposed.

Mr Knoll said the State Government was determined to deliver lower household costs.

"We have given broad support for all the recommendations and advice the Productivity Commission has provided to lower council rates and improve transparency," Mr Knoll said.

"The report clearly identifies there is scope to reduce council rates for SA households and businesses, slash red tape and improve transparency.

"A key reform will be a new website that captures easy-tounderstand information for communities on how their council is performing," he said.

"Benchmarking works ...

where it has been trialled.

"If ratepayers can compare and understand how different councils are performing with delivering key services and keeping their costs down, they can effectively engage with their councils on their most important decisions." Mr Knoll last year lost a vote in Parliament over an election pledge to introduce a formal cap on council rates which was taken to the election by the Liberals in 2018.

He is currently gearing up for a second attempt at reform, after Parliament was reset over the summer, and will need support from either Labor or the Upper House crossbench.

Labor also opposed rate capping last year, but instead proposed its own package of reforms in local government.

The Labor plan would have imposed new scrutiny on expenses and travel by councils, as well as requirements to publish council budget plans.

It also aimed to stamp out lavish perks for senior officials. Download print article

MOST of the popular timber boardwalk at Hallett Cove has now been reopened but Marion Council says it now needs the State Government to help fund further repairs if it is to fully reopen.

The council had to temporarily shut off 2.5km of the boardwalk from Murto Parade, Marino to Peera St, Hallett Cove, to undertake safety inspections last June after an engineering report rated the safety risk as "high" because of drainage problems weakening the boardwalk's timber footings. After months of intensive engineering work - costing the council $238,000 - the only stretches of the 8km walkway that now remain closed are 500m at Kurnabinna and Grey Rd gullies in Hallett Cove.

The council is planning a $4.8 million upgrade to the gullies and other sections of the 20-year-old structure.

However, it requires the State Government to contribute $2.4 million toward the project.

Mayor Kris Hanna said the latest stage of repairs was great news for the thousands of locals and visitors who used the walkway.

"Diversions are in place around the only closed sections, so people can enjoy the walk and spectacular views," Mr Hanna said.

"We are now seeking State Government funding to deliver a $4.8 million plan to fix the gullies and connect the walkway between Heron Way Reserve and the Field River." The engineering report said that the coastal cliffs were a fragile environment for the walkway and that stormwater run-off combined with erosion had an extreme impact on the structures' footings.

As a result, repairing or replacing ageing footings will likely only extend the life of the boardwalk for another five to 10 years.

Mr Hanna said the council had a long-term plan to renew all of the walkway.

"The walkway will eventually need to be entirely rebuilt," he said.

"The coastal walkway plan would cost an estimated $14.5 million over 10 years.

"This underlines council's commitment to preserving this popular attraction for our community to enjoy.

"Council has been committed to reopening the walkway as quickly as possible. We are also committed to preserving it for future generations."
