  • Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival
    Australian Services Union SA + NT Branch The ASU campaigns for fairness and equality in our workplaces, communities + globally Join the union for social justice activists 08 8363 1322 Foreword Together with our sponsors, the Don Dunstan Foundation is proud to present the 2019 Social Change Guide to the Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival. This Guide is our biggest yet with 181 shows featuring a diverse display of culture of which Don Dunstan would have been proud. Don was not only Premier of South Australia during the 1970s, but was also a trained actor. A strong supporter of the Arts throughout his lifetime, he was a patron of the Fringe and narrated Carnival of the Animals in the 1974 Festival of Arts. The Dunstan Decade saw South Australia lead the nation in progressive social reforms, and laid the foundation for Adelaide’s transformation into ‘the Festival State’. The Adelaide Festival was at the forefront of this transformation; since its launch in 1960 they have been showcasing diverse shows from all around the world. In 1974 the Fringe released its first Souvenir Programme, beginning its evolution into what is now the largest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Each year, both go from strength to strength. The Arts bring us together, and help to create and celebrate our diversity. When we offer access to art in all its forms, we improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. Through the Arts we have a chance to see the world from a new perspective, and at its best, art can inspire us to take action for a fairer world.

    NOW IS THE TIME…… THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA What a year it’s been!! A record breaking year for the Adelaide Convention Bureau – results up by 15% and a 180:1 ROI to the South Australian Government. Three years since the first sod of earth was turned, the first stage of projects in the $3 billion re- development of Adelaide’s Riverbank Convention, Research and Entertainment Precinct programme of works have been completed. In the past 12 months, the newly developed $535m Adelaide Oval hosted its first football match and even the Rolling Stone’s. Some of the world’s leading medical researchers moved into their new facilities at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) and the first phase of the $400m Adelaide Convention Centre redevelopment saw delegates welcomed to a world-class facility in every sense of the word. It doesn’t end there. Outside this precinct but within the CBD in the past year, a $30m upgrade of Rundle Mall, Australia’s longest retail shopping strip is all but complete, Victoria Square in the heart of the city was completely transformed into a lively space utilised by small group and larger events such as the Tour Down Under and Adelaide Fringe. On the accommodation front, three new hotels – Quest on King William, Ibis Adelaide and the 5 star Mayfair Hotel opened their doors offering an additional 582 rooms to visitors to the city. A planned $300+m redevelopment of the Adelaide Casino will also include a new luxury hotel. Works on these major projects along the Riverbank will continue for the next 3-4 years –all details and images are contained in the “Spotlight on Adelaide, South Australia ..

  • Adelaide, South Australia... Now Is the Time! Now Is the Time!
    ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA... NOW IS THE TIME! NOW IS THE TIME! Adelaide, South Australia is positioning itself on a global scale for major conventions. The destination is currently undergoing an unprecedented level of infrastructure development and investment, which will further enhance the city’s already renowned ‘ease of use’ functionality and services to the Business Events sector. A vital component is the re-development of Adelaide’s ‘Riverbank Precinct’ - home to Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Casino, InterContinental Adelaide and surrounding plazas. This area is developing as a world-class convention and entertainment precinct creating a lively and connected promenade including a footbridge linking the Adelaide Oval and northern side of the River Torrens. Complementing these developments is a world leading Health and Medical Research Institute, and other key health and medical developments, cementing Adelaide’s reputation as a hub for related conventions. Adelaide Convention Bureau CEO Damien Kitto underlines the importance of this commitment; “As we all know, to be successful in the global convention market, a destination must have the right mix, standard and location of core convention infrastructure. By enhancing and growing the Riverbank precinct Adelaide is not only able to service major conventions of 3000+ delegates, but is also creating unique synergies with institutions that will drive and support convention content. Our city has great ambition and intention in this area.” MERCURE
