This Study has been undertaken over by Jensen Planning + Design in collaboration with SGS Economics and Planning and Tonkin and Associates for the City of Charles Sturt. The study examines future residential growth and character issues across the City of Charles Sturt. The first report prepared for this project - the Strategic Context Report, analyses population trends, policy approaches and legislation within the State Government and the City of Charles Sturt relating to residential growth and character. The second report - Opportunities and Constraints summarises future population and housing projections specific to Charles Sturt based on a range of population scenarios. It also summarises major environmental, infrastructure and other opportunities and constraints to achieving future housing growth. The third report - Future Social Infrastructure Requirements, provides a broad overview of the context and supply requirements of future social infrastructure needs across Charles Sturt. The fourth report - Character and Form of Potential Growth Opportunities, provides recommendations about the future character, form and extent of primarily residential growth in areas that have been identified as having potential for increased residential density in the City of Charles Sturt. The fifth report - Development Plan Policy Analysis for Growth Areas assesses current Development Policy relating to the identified residential growth areas. It proposes new residential design policy and zoning changes for the identified residential growth areas that will inform a forthcoming Residential DPA. The sixth report - Review of Certain Historic Conservation Areas, reviews the zone boundaries and policies for a number of existing Residential Character Zone (Historic Conservation Areas) Policy Areas. It identifies opportunities for the refinement of the zone boundaries. Summary of Key Residential Growth Challenges relating to the 30 Year Plan • An additional (approximately) 20,960 dwellings should be provided in the City of Charles Sturt by 2039 to meet the 30 Year Plan population growth targets • In order to meet the 30 Year Plan policy directions, most of these dwellings (75% or nearly 14,000 dwellings) will be located within an 800 metre radius along corridors around Centres. These corridors and centres include Bowden Transit Oriented Development (TOD), Cheltenham/ Woodville TOD, West Lakes TOD, Seaton Centre, Albert Park Centre, Kilkenny Centre, Fulham Centre, Henley Beach Centre, QEH Centre, Hindmarsh Centre, Arndale Centre, Grange Road Corridor, Henley Beach Road Corridor, Woodville Road Corridor, Port Road Corridor, and Torrens Road Corridor. City of Charles Sturt Residential Growth + Character Study - Summary Report 1 • Given the priority given to residential intensification around corridors and centres, only 3,670 dwellings need to be located outside these areas. If past development trends across the City of Charles Sturt of approx 120 dwellings per annum continue, there will be no need to significantly increase residential development in neighbourhoods outside the nominated growth areas. 2 Strategic Context The Greater Adelaide 30 Year Plan details the State Government's aim to achieve significant population growth targets by developing new residential areas in greenfield locations (30% of new growth), and by increasing infill and population densities in existing urban centres (70% of new growth). The City of Charles Sturt will accommodate a substantial part of the increased population growth, predominantly through infill and achieving higher densities in Transport Oriented Developments and along key transport corridors. For the Western Region (including Charles Sturt, West Torrens and Port Adelaide Enfield), the growth target is an additional 83,000 people by 2030. Other key strategic documents are: § South Australian Strategic Plan (2007) § 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide (2010) § Directions for Creating a new Plan for Greater Adelaide (2008) § Draft Technical Report to 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide (2009) § Housing Plan for SA (2005) § Strategic Infrastructure Plan (April 2005) § South Australia Works in the Regions 2006-2009 Strategic Plan (2006) § Industrial Land Strategy for Metropolitan Adelaide (2007) Infill opportunities (such as developing one current house site into two or three new dwellings) are scattered throughout the Council area. However they are not likely to contribute significantly to the growth target, and also brings little benefit to the community as a whole because they do not provide the economies of scale to be able to provide additional services or infrastructure, and also often detrimentally impact on the character of the neighbourhood. It is likely that the majority of residential growth opportunities will be located around TOD's, activity centres and transport corridors (roads and rail). Council has a major role to play in influencing the design, sustainability and location of new dwellings through a range of measures including planning policy, financial incentives, and legal requirements. City of Charles Sturt Residential Growth + Character Study - Summary Report 2 3 Constraints and Opportunities In order to ensure that new residential growth is developed in the areas most suitable to accommodate new populations (culturally, economically, environmentally), an understanding of the key constraints and opportunities is required. This is described in detail in the Second Report Constraints and Opportunities. 3.1 Roads and Traffic Locations of potential concern include: Port Road § Intersection of Port Road / Cheltenham Parade / West Lakes Boulevard. This intersection is known to have limited capacity and we understand that DTEI have identified the need to potentially upgrade the intersection at some time in the future. The Cheltenham, Albert Park and West Lakes development areas will have the greatest impact on this intersection. West Lakes § West Lakes Boulevard between Clark Terrace and Port Road. This

  • Re-Imagining Adelaide's Public Transport by Andrew Leunig 28 August 2013
    Re-imagining Adelaide's Public Transport By Andrew Leunig 28 August 2013 With some further notes as at 20 March 2015 (at rear) Re-imagining Adelaide's Public Transport Exec Summary I believe that Adelaide could be the most livable and most learning City on the Planet. The “most liveable” city in the world will get the balance between Public and Private transport right. It will be “liveable” for the old and the young, the rich and the poor. Why couldn't Adelaide have the cleverest, most vibrant public transport system for a town of it's size on the planet ? No Reason at all. But we have to want it first. At the moment our Public Transport mode share (9.9%) is about the lowest in Australia and that is our accepted norm. Even our state plan is soft and timid. “Increase the use of public transport to 10% of metropolitan weekday passenger vehicle kilometres travelled by 2018”. I like the old saying "If you shoot for the stars you might not get there ­ but you are less likely to come up with fists full of mud". At the moment our state plan shoots for the mud. The solution ? We need to re­imagine our network design. As recommended by leading experts we should toss out our current hub (city) and spoke design and design our Network around the very layout that Adelaide is globally famous for ­ our grid. I propose that we create The Adelaide Metro Grid ­ with buses running frequently in a straight line along our major roads, where transfers are presumed and every major intersection becomes a transfer point.

  • Our Plan Our Plan
    OUR PLAN OUR PLAN TRANSPORT NETWORKS THAT CONNECT PEOPLE TO PLACES AND BUSINESSES TO MARKETS For inner and middle Adelaide • A sharper focus on inner Adelaide to boost the central city as a creative, lively and energetic area where more people want to live and businesses want to locate. • Making bold choices − bringing a network of trams back to Adelaide, called AdeLINK and refocusing our transport system to support and actively encourage mixed-use medium density, vibrant communities and business growth in inner and middle urban areas. For Greater Adelaide • An increasing focus on major urban centres and accessibility to these centres − building upon the electrification of the north-south backbone of the public transport system, a modernised and redesigned bus network with a focus on major activity centres, and supporting a more active city through better connected walking and cycling networks and walkable environments. • Giving businesses the efficient, reliable transport connections they need to deliver goods and services around the city and to interstate and international markets − a well-targeted package of investment in the North-South Corridor, Inner and Outer Ring Routes and intersection and road upgrades. For regional and remote South Australia • Better connecting regional towns and communities to jobs, services and opportunities − focusing on a high quality, well maintained road network and improving community and passenger transport services. • Managing the growing volumes of freight moving around the state and making sure the mining sector has the transport connections it needs to expand. 40 OUR PLAN 3.1 OUR PLAN FOR INNER AND MIDDLE ADELAIDE Liveability is one of Adelaide’s greatest assets.

  • Previous Consultation Comments
    Previous Consultation Comments from Community Survey and Social Pinpoint (mapping) Are you aware of the following cycling routes within the City of Charles Sturt? Coast Park, River Torrens Linear Park, Outer Harbor Greenway (along the railway line), Grange Lakes Do you have any comments about these routes? [1] The coast path needs to be continued along the seafront between 3rd Ave and Terminus ST. [2] Linear Park path needs upgrades in section between Beatty St and back of waste facility --very dangerous surface with tree roots and not wide enough. Same between Frogmore Rd and Fairmont Ave bridge.[3]Very bad path board surface panels under brewery bridge[too large gaps between boards, causing serious vibrations and possible falls. A good pathway All good As cycle routes they are shared by pedestrians using a variety of modes; eg prams, walking frames, scooters etc and these are not compatible with commuting or riding at any speed for fitness or in groups; It is dangerous for both groups. The dedicated cycleway from tollgate to crafers does offer a good riding option for riders for fitness that is safe, and is well used as a result. Cycle lanes need to be wide enough for a cyclist to pass a slow cyclist without going outside the lane. Most are not quite wide enough. As shared paths pedestrians should be made to keep to the left at all times so bikes don't have to navigate through people with music or phones stuck in their ears As these networks have evolved, more people are using them.

  • Woodville West Transport and Parking Plan Final Report
    City of Charles Sturt Woodville West Transport and Parking Plan Final Report July 2013 Executive summary The overarching objective of the Woodville West Transport and Parking Plan (WWTPP) is to provide recommendations for future improvements for the local transport network, including a strategy for implementation. A detailed assessment of the existing conditions within the study area was undertaken including, public transport, pedestrian and cyclist facilities, street hierarchy, reported crashes, parking restrictions, traffic speeds and traffic volumes. The previous studies have been reviewed and summarised with an assessment undertaken on the recommendations contained within these reports. The study area is bound by West Lakes Boulevard, Clark Terrace, Trimmer Parade, Findon Road and Port Road which are all classified as arterial roads. Todville Street, Ryan Avenue and Alma Terrace are existing collector roads, with all other roads in the study area being classified as local roads. A small portion of the study area is within the suburb of Seaton but is recognised in this document as Woodville West for ease of naming. Overall, Woodville West is well serviced with bus and train services that are within a walkable distance to the bus routes or train stations. Several roads within the study area are classified as being part of the Bikedirect secondary road network. The locations of highest incidences of crashes that have occurred in the last five years are at the intersections of Alma Terrace / Todville Street, Rosemary Street / Ryan Avenue and Victor Avenue / Lewis Crescent, where three crashes have occurred at each location. Parking restrictions exist within the area bounded by Findon Road, Sage Crescent, Ryan Avenue, Beryl Street and Pitman Avenue, comprising of a combination of No Parking, 3-Hour Parking and 2-Hour Parking; all applicable from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
