City of Tea Tree Gully – City Master Plan 2011–2040

1City of Tea Tree Gully – City Master Plan 2011–2040
Introduction
Developing the
Strategic Plan and
City Master Plan
In 2009 Council started the process of
developing a Strategic Plan and City
Master Plan to shape our city for the
long term. Called create20forty, the
process started with Elected Members
developing a vision and key strategic
objectives for the City. This was
followed in mid-2010 by four weeks of
engagement with our community and
key stakeholders to obtain their feedback
on the best way for our city to develop.
The vision for the City incorporates
nine themes that capture the shared
priorities of our community. Each theme
reflects the City’s responsibilities to its
community, as well as challenges that
must be met jointly by our community
and all stakeholders, including the
business sector, non-government
agencies, local, state and federal
governments and the Council, if the
vision is to be fulfilled.
The themes are:
• Our buildings and infrastructure
• Our local economy
• Our housing and living
• Our environment
• Our transport networks
• Our population
• Our leadership
• Our community
• Our leisure, play and arts.
Council consulted with the community
on these themes in a variety of ways
including:
• distributing information brochures and
feedback forms to stakeholders and at
community facilities
• holding workshops with
representatives from community
groups, the business sector, local
members of parliament, young
people, the Indigenous community
and Council staff
• inviting the community to give
feedback via notices in the local
newspaper
• inviting the Tea Tree Gully
Community Panel to comment
• inviting key government agencies to
comment
• dedicating a section on Council’s
website for community feedback.
This feedback has contributed to the
shaping of the Strategic Plan and the City
Master Plan.
Other influences on create20forty
include the following State Government
documents:
• South Australia’s Strategic Plan
• The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide
We then developed the draft City Master
Plan 2011–2040 and presented it to
the community and other stakeholders
between 13 April and 13 May 2011 for
feedback. We disseminated the draft at
the Civic Centre, the library and other
community facilities. The community
was invited to attend workshops.
The document and feedback form were
made available on Council’s website
and Council’s Community Panel and
the community members who had
participated in create20forty were invited
to comment on the draft.
For each map we specifically asked:
• What do you like?
• Why do you think this?
• What don’t you like?
• Why do you think this?
Feedback from the create20forty
engagement process and our
consultation on the draft City Master
Plan is collated on Council’s website:

2 City of Tea Tree Gully – City Master Plan 2011–2040
The Strategic Plan
2011–2015
This plan is the key strategic planning
document that sets out Council’s vision
and objectives. It also identifies the
strategic directions for the next five to 30
years and outcomes for the next one to
five years.
The key strategic objectives are:
• Physical infrastructure that supports
the future needs of our community
• Sound business and employment
opportunity through innovative
economic development
• Diversity in housing
• A sustainable living environment
• Our community linked through
effective transport systems
• A diverse population
• Leadership excellence
• Foster family and community
development
• Participation in entertainment,
recreation, leisure and the arts.
These objectives align with the maps in
the City Master Plan.
City Master Plan
This plan is the physical expression of
Council’s vision and objectives for our
city during the next 30 years.
The City Master Plan consists of eight
maps with associated commentary to
describe the main physical features of
our city as envisaged for 2040. The
maps identify opportunities for growth
and revitalisation of the City and
capitalise on our existing strengths.
The maps and commentary show:
• Sites of high environmental value
• Sites of economic activity
• Urban renewal
• Areas of cultural interest
• Key Council community hubs
• Key multi-use community/recreation
centres
• Local and regional connections
• Key open space areas.
These maps reflect high-level planning
and Council will continue to work
collaboratively with the community and
stakeholders to develop more detailed
precinct maps for specific localities.
In addition, Council will continue to
develop more detailed maps to denote
educational facilities, health delivery
services, community and public bus
routes and tourism opportunities.
How will the City
Master Plan be
used?
The City Master Plan is a key document
to guide Council in:
• forming partnerships with
stakeholders, including the
community, state and federal
governments, other local
governments, non-government service
providers and businesses
• planning for sustainable growth and
regeneration
• planning for Council infrastructure,
facilities and services
• identifying key areas for development
• social planning
• budget preparation
• setting policies, such as for land use
• identifying priorities for capital works
• allocating funding.
The delivery of specific outcomes will
be managed and delivered through the
Strategic Plan 2011–2015.
Its objectives will also inform our
Development Plan, which sets out how
the City will grow and change.
The City Master Plan will also give
some certainty on the City’s direction
for our community and stakeholders.
This will attract investment and increase
collaboration opportunities.
In some instances, Council will take a
leading role, while at other times we will
work to strengthen existing relationships,
build new partnerships, or collaborate
with other organisations.

Figure 1: Council strategic planning framework
The City Master Plan 2011–2040 is a high-level strategic document which forms part of
Council’s strategic planning framework (Figure 1) and suite of strategic management
plans.
Our planning framework
The Strategic Plan is underpinned by a hierarchy of Council strategies and policies,
including the City Master Plan 2011–2040. These are delivered through action plans,
department business plans, and internal work plans (Figure 1).
The City Master Plan is a physical expression of Council’s 30-year vision and objectives
for our city. In a series of maps with associated commentary the plan identifies
opportunities for growth and revitalisation.
Section 122 of the Local Government Act 1999 requires Council to identify the
documents that make up its strategic management plans.
These documents are available on Council’s website: <www.teatreegully.sa.gov.au>.
Together they identify the measures and deliverables that indicate how the Council is
performing.
Delivering,
monitoring and
reporting
Our city’s corporate reporting framework
will enable Council to track its
performance in delivering its strategic
management plans and measure this
against Council’s social, environmental,
economic and governance priorities.
The frequency and method of reporting
vary; however, reports to the community
occur through the annual report and
annual business plan as a minimum.
We will track our performance in
achieving the objectives and directions in
the Strategic Plan and City Master Plan in
our Annual Report and Annual Business
Plan: both are public documents
available on our website:
<www.teatreegully.sa.gov.au >.

Our history
Tea Tree Gully was named as a literal
description of its natural environment: a
steep gully dotted with native tea trees,
which was originally inhabited by the
Kaurna people.
European settlement dates from the late
1830s, when the land was used mainly
for fruit-growing, cropping, livestock
and vineyards. Over time several small
townships grew up, including Tea Tree
Gully, Hope Valley and Modbury.
The area did not significantly develop
until the 1950s. Residential development
exploded during the 1960s, and in
February 1968, the District of Tea Tree
Gully was officially proclaimed as the
City of Tea Tree Gully.
The southern half of the City was
established by the late 1970s and the
northern during the 1980s and 1990s,
with the creation of the Golden Grove
Development Area, including the
suburbs of Golden Grove, Greenwith
and part of Wynn Vale.
Today, our city is an established area. In
1991 the population was 84,000; now in
2011 the population has risen to 100,806.
Snapshot of our city
The City of Tea Tree Gully lies at
the foot of the Mount Lofty Ranges
and northeast of the Adelaide central
business district, which is a short drive
away or 20 minutes via the O-Bahn.
We are a predominantly residential area
covering about 95 square kilometres.
Our slogan ‘Naturally Better’ reflects the
rich natural heritage that runs through
the City, from nature reserves to its tree-
lined suburban streets.
Our local government area is bounded
by the City of Playford to the north, the
Adelaide Hills Council to the east, the
Campbelltown City Council to the south
and the cities of Port Adelaide Enfield
and Salisbury in the west.
We include the suburbs of Banksia Park,
Dernancourt, Fairview Park, Gilles Plains
(part), Golden Grove, Gould Creek
(part), Greenwith, Highbury, Holden
Hill (part), Hope Valley, Modbury,
Modbury Heights, Modbury North, Para
Hills (part), Redwood Park, Ridgehaven,
Salisbury Heights (part), St Agnes,
Surrey Downs, Tea Tree Gully, Upper
Hermitage (part), Valley View (part),
Paracombe (part), Vista, Wynn Vale and
Yatala Vale.
Retail, construction, light manufacturing,
professional and commercial services,
and home-based businesses are our
main economic sectors.
Snapshot of our
population
Our population is forecast to increase to
105,368 in 2031.
Along with most of the world’s Western
societies, we face the challenges of an
ageing population: our 55–84 age group
is projected to grow faster than any
other age group.
This phenomenon, along with changing
lifestyles, has altered the make-up of
households, with one and two-person
households increasing at the expense of
more traditional households.
Our population of young people
(12–25-year-olds) is the highest in the
North Eastern Adelaide region and,
despite a predicted marginal decrease
during the next 30 years, young people
will remain a significant proportion of
our total population.
As a Council, we need to be able
to meet the health, recreation, and
employment needs of the population,
now and in the future.

Community
facilities
Our residents want a City with features
that are appealing. These features
include community facilities and
services, particularly to suit the changing
make-up of the population and its
increasing diversity. To achieve this
with limited resources will require an
innovative approach to the nature and
delivery of services.
Council recognises that access to
services in health, recreation, the arts
and culture is vital for wellbeing and
reduces health-care costs in the long
term. We will continue to encourage and
support the community’s engagement
in these activities, in collaboration with
relevant stakeholders. This is important
not only for the economy, but also for
the strength and sustainability of our
community.
Available housing in a range of sizes,
prices and styles is important for
existing and new residents; however,
after several decades of strong housing
growth, our supply of undeveloped land
is nearly exhausted.
There is increasing demand for more
housing choice, which the existing
housing stock cannot meet. The demand
is coming from all sectors of the
population and across a variety of age
groups. Rental and affordable housing is
in high demand but in low supply.
Identifying areas where urban renewal
and regeneration can occur in close
proximity to services is vital to enable
the City to provide greater housing
choice.
Housing
Council develops, operates, manages
and maintains, many infrastructure
assets including roads, open spaces,
buildings, streetscapes, footpaths and
bikeways, as well as water and sewerage
systems. These assets affect all of us and
contribute significantly to our quality of
life.
Infrastructure demand and supply
is affected by population growth,
demographic change, vehicle ownership
levels, community preferences and
expectations, economic factors and
environmental considerations, as well
as legislation changes. State and federal
governments also play an important role
in infrastructure planning and provision.
Developing infrastructure helps to bring
our community together, providing
meeting places, fostering social ties, and
shaping the City’s character and sense of
place.
Our neighbourhoods are connected by
a network of roads, bikeways, walking
trails and footpaths, as well as bus
routes, including the O-Bahn busway.
A sustainable transport network that
is integrated, coordinated, affordable,
efficient and safe is vital to connect
our city’s residents and visitors with
other regions. As an outer suburb, we
are highly dependent on cars. Better
access to alternative means of transport
is needed. This involves liaising with
relevant government departments to
improve public transport networks
as well as providing more footpaths,
walking and cycling trails and ensuring
accessibility of public transport for
people with disabilities.

City Master Plan 2011–2040

The City Master Plan provides a map for
us to follow as we journey forward.
Over the next 30 years the city will
undergo significant change as it
embraces exciting new opportunities
to support the community, while
adapting to new technologies, an ageing
population, ageing infrastructure and
diminishing opportunities for broadacre
development.
The plan was formed with the
participation and engagement of
the community, other stakeholders
and Elected Members, through the
create20forty consultation project. This
was followed by the development of the
Strategic Plan 2011-2015 and the Draft
City Master Plan, resulting in further
community engagement — finally
producing this City Master Plan.
This plan:
• identifies locations for urban renewal
to cater for housing diversity while
still reflecting the natural character
and amenity of the City
• identifies activity centres which cluster
compatible land uses, including
housing, retail, employment and
other local services, to provide for
accessible, productive and efficient
use of infrastructure
• envisages key focus areas for sporting
activity through provision of hubs for
sporting, recreation and leisure
• identifies locations for key community
hubs that will support social and
community programs and partnerships
with non-government organisations
• identifies major environmental
sites that should be protected and
enhanced for their biodiversity value
• envisages a transit-orientated
development with supporting
peripheral land uses to create a
vibrant Modbury Regional Centre
capitalising on the Modbury
Interchange that is truly the heart of
the City.
The City Master Plan map is a composite
of eight themed maps that bring all
elements of the City together onto one
map.

Sites of high environmental value

The community recognises and highly
values our city’s natural heritage. Sites
selected for their high environmental
value contain remnant communities
of local native plants or they are
natural in character and have potential
for improvement. The community is
continuously involved in revegetation
programs and vegetation management at
several of the sites.
Each site has ecological and natural
attributes that support its listing as
a reserve requiring conservation,
protection and specialised management.
Those attributes may include:
• a last remaining patch of bushland
that resembles the landscape prior to
development
• uncommon local native plants
• habitat for native wildlife
• significant trees
• corridors that allow for wildlife
movement
• watercourses
• wetlands.
Such reserves would not need irrigation,
which encourages grass to cover over
native vegetation.
The native plants endemic to our city
include:
• Eucalyptus porosa (Mallee Box),
occurs in Salisbury Heights, Wynn
Vale and Golden Grove
• Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red
Gum), occurs in Dry Creek Reserve,
Cobbler Creek Recreation Park and
the River Torrens Linear Park
• Eucalyptus leucoxylon (South
Australian Blue Gum), occurs in
Surrey Downs, St Agnes and Highbury
• Callitris sp. (Southern Cypress Pine),
occurs in Callitris Reserve.
Natural features that may be associated
with each vegetation type include:
• significant trees
• uncommon native grasses, native
orchids, chenopods and ferns
• native fauna.
Core habitat areas are conservation parks
or recreation parks under the protection
of the National Parks and Wildlife Act
1972 (SA). They are identified as a
primary source of fauna and flora that
may expand into the neighbouring urban
areas if their open spaces present the
appropriate habitat.
The creeklines that run through the City
act as the remaining connection between
rural and urbanised areas.
The Aqueduct Land is under the
protection of the River Torrens Linear
Park Act 2006 and is a key ecological
site in the southern part of our city.
Wetlands store stormwater and
improve water quality by treating it
through natural physical and biological
processes, such as gross pollutant
removal, sedimentation, nutrient removal
by plants, filtration of fine sediments and
disinfection by sunlight.
As well as improving the aesthetics of
an area, wetlands provide habitat for
wildlife and can be a focus for recreation
with additions such as walking paths.
The City’s wetlands typically fall into
three main categories:
• wetland/storage for stormwater
harvesting and managed aquifer
recharge (MAR)
• flood detention/mitigation
• recreational/aesthetic.
In recent years Council has actively
developed wetlands and these will
become a common feature in the
suburban landscape in the future.
As well as these significant sites, Council
recognises the value of street trees
and reserve trees for their ecological
contribution to sites of environmental
value and will continue to support
the planning and development of
streetscapes.

Sites of key economic activity

Over the next 30 years, we have
the opportunity to create a robust
city supporting economic activity in
commerce, health, education, creative
technologies, construction and light
manufacturing as well as home-based,
small and emerging businesses.
Modbury Regional Development
Area
The Modbury Regional Development
area will develop into an area of mixed
uses and medium-density living linked to
the O-Bahn Interchange. It will contain
significant retail services, employment
activities, education and health facilities
and open spaces. It will develop into an
attractive and accessible place for people
to visit, work and live.
Economic development in the Modbury
Regional Growth Area will occur with
the involvement of and input from
community and business stakeholders
and government and non-government
agencies.
It will provide:
• retail sites which make a significant
contribution to the local economy
• enhanced hospitality and
entertainment services
• a revitalised health services precinct
including Modbury Hospital
• a higher profile educational precinct,
including Tea Tree Gully Campus of
the Torrens Valley TAFE
• more digital, knowledge-based and
creative businesses.
The residential areas located between
the Tea Tree Plaza shopping centre
and Tolley Road are included in the
Regional Growth Area as they offer the
potential to be developed with a mixture
of land uses, including residences in
diverse styles, such as townhouses, row
dwellings, and apartments ranging in
height from three to five storeys. This is
in keeping with the State Government’s
vision for transit-oriented housing
developments.
Precincts
The areas marked 1 9 and 21
on the map have potential to develop
into a mixed-use precinct supporting
light industry with a combination of
land uses, including office, commercial
and residential. Areas 6 and 7
on the map will continue to support
light industry, bulky goods retail and
wholesale, and also develop into centres
for business clusters/incubation hubs,
including new business for digital,
knowledge-based and creative industries.
The Tea Tree Gully Township economic
and cultural precinct 8 has remnants
of our city’s early history and is a
gateway to the Adelaide Hills and
Barossa regions, both key tourist areas.
The township has high development
potential for:
• hospitality
• markets
• creative industries, cultural galleries,
events
• eco-tourism
• walking trails.
Activity centres
While our city’s activity centres are
dominated by retail for personal
and household goods, they have
development potential to become
centres with a rich mix of business,
administrative, retail, employment
and residential development. This will
be possible by encouraging further
development of:
• hospitality and entertainment
• digital, knowledge-based and creative
businesses
• health and social services
• medium-density housing.
Light and service industry
Businesses in the light industry and
service sectors serve the needs of our
local community (for example, electrical,
plumbing or building) and wholesale
retailers. These areas have development
potential for:
• low-impact specialist manufacturing
• defence-related services and advanced
technology manufacturing
• clean technology and emerging
industries
• digital, knowledge-based and creative
businesses capitalising on access to
high-speed broadband
• business clusters.
Extractive industry
Our city has a long history in quarrying
and brick/paver production and the
sector makes a contribution to the City
and state economies. It is expected that
the lifespan of the mines at Golden
Grove 24 will be more than 50
years. The Golden Grove Extractive
Industries Zone Management Plan 2006
acknowledges the need for the land to
be returned to the public in a form that
maximises its potential future uses, once
the resources have been recovered. It
is expected that this may incorporate
wetlands and other environmentally
valuable assets, open space and
residential opportunities.

Urban renewal

Urban renewal means strengthening
an area’s economic, social and
environmental sustainability by
improving its amenity and character.
It often involves urban redesign,
investment in infrastructure and the
upgrading of public spaces.
Urban renewal requires participation
from the community, private sector and
state and federal governments.
The City Master Plan urban renewal map
identifies the localities within the existing
urban areas which will undergo detailed
precinct planning. It is at the precinct
planning stage that specific issues will be
considered. These include overlooking,
overshadowing, scale, bulk of buildings,
setback from street boundaries,
separation distances, loss and gain of
urban vegetation, integration of new and
existing development and links to open
spaces.
Urban renewal involves significant
engagement with communities and
stakeholders.
Modbury Regional Centre:
medium-rise
The most intensive urban renewal will
be focused in and around the Modbury
Regional Centre, which is one of
five regional centres in metropolitan
Adelaide. With its existing mix of uses,
and the Modbury O-Bahn Interchange,
the Centre has the capacity to become a
transit-oriented development.
The City Master Plan envisages a
concentration of urban development
within 800 metres of the O-Bahn
interchange. This is defined in The
30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide as a
major transit corridor. Within this space
there are opportunities to diversify the
current form of housing to better suit the
needs of the future.
This area contains a number of
significant retail sites.
As a transit-oriented development,
the Modbury Regional Centre has the
capacity for medium-rise development
of up to five storeys for residential,
commercial and retail uses.
Transit corridors
Our city also has road networks that
are designated for regular and frequent
bus services (Go Zones). The 30-Year
Plan for Greater Adelaide defines these
as transit corridors. Our Go Zones are
Hancock Road, North East Road and
Grand Junction Road. These will be
reviewed following further discussions
with the state government.
The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide
identifies a 400-metre radius around
transit corridors as the ideal distance in
which to diversify housing stock. This is
considered to be a comfortable walking
distance to bus stops and other services;
thus development along these routes is
designed to reduce reliance on cars and
to increase walking, cycling, and the use
of public transport. The City Master Plan
encourages development along these
routes, but will limit height to three
storeys.
During the life of the City Master Plan,
new Go Zones may be designated. We
would consider development in new
corridors during the ongoing review
process of the City Master Plan.
Urban renewal areas
Urban renewal in our city’s older areas
will be concentrated around activity
centres that serve the population at a
district and neighbourhood level. These
areas are identified on the map as urban
renewal areas.
These areas are predominantly retail and
are generally well serviced by public
transport, which gives the opportunity
to vary the type of housing up to 400
metres around them to better suit our
changing demographics. The maximum
building height in this radius would be
three storeys.
As well as providing more diversity
in housing styles, these centres offer
opportunities for economic development
by encouraging mixed-use and
improvement of the public realm.
Modbury Regional Centre:
low rise
By applying a 400-metre radius to the
current Modbury Regional Centre zone
boundary, an area of urban renewal is
identified on the map (shown in lilac).
This area can potentially be transformed
into a mixed-use zone (commercial,
retail, residential) with building heights
up to a maximum of three storeys.
Other residential areas
Development opportunities in the
remaining residential areas will be in
accordance with the Development
Plan, which allows for low-density
developments to a maximum of two
storeys, on small and large-sized lots.
Council conducts regular reviews of its
Development Plan. It is through this
process that property owners and other
stakeholders can submit any proposal for
rezoning in specific localities.

Areas of cultural interest
Theme: Our leisure, play and arts
Key strategic objective 2040: Participation in entertainment, recreation, leisure and the arts
Culture can mean different things to
different people but is generally about
experiencing interaction. Culture can
take the form of:
• heritage — manmade or natural
• arts and events — galleries, markets,
sporting events
• leisure — walking, reading, meeting
friends
• community buildings — meeting
places for community programs
• trails — destination points, walking,
cycling, biodiversity.
Our current and future residents
require a variety of recreational,
arts and community facilities and
activities. Council, the state and federal
governments, and the private sector
all have a role in the delivery of these
facilities.
Tea Tree Gully Township has the
potential to be developed into a
significant cultural centre, which would
attract tourists and also benefit the local
community. For example, the scheduled
restoration of the former Council
Chamber on Haines Road into an art
space and gallery will strengthen the
cultural appeal of the area.
This locality is also recognised as a
significant site for the Kaurna people.
Other experiences or opportunities that
could be explored include interpretive
trails, markets, restaurants, public art and
festivals.
Civic Park/Civic Centre/Library
The Civic Park 6 precinct is a key
destination in our city, and is the
focal point for community gatherings
and outdoor events. The Civic Centre
draws people to use and visit the
library and other facilities including the
Reconciliation Garden in Civic Park. The
centre’s surrounds offer playgrounds,
shopping, cinema, dining and education
facilities. The nearby Modbury
Interchange connects the precinct to
public transport. There is opportunity
to further enhance and develop this
area into a highly active and integrated
community hub.
Golden Fields and Golden Grove
Recreation and Arts Centre
As well as providing sporting and
recreation facilities, the Golden Grove
Recreation and Arts Centre 5 hosts arts
and cultural events. The Goldenfields
Recreational Park 8 nearby has
walking trails and youth facilities, and
connects to other precincts such as the
Cobbler Creek Recreation Park 7 .
Nearby shopping, schools, dining,
bowling greens, recreation facilities
and a swimming pool add to the area’s
appeal. It is also well serviced by public
transport.
There is opportunity to further enhance
and develop this area into a highly active
and integrated community hub.
River Torrens Linear Park
The River Torrens Linear Park 11
follows the course of the river. The park
has excellent potential for improvement
through the addition of interpretive
signage, bike and walking trails, public
art, eco-trails and interesting destinations
or stopping points. This would be
achieved by forging partnerships with
neighbouring councils, as the park runs
through several local government areas.
More special events would also draw
people to this precinct.
Dry Creek Linear Park
With its connections to local reserves,
wetlands, the Waterworld Aquatic
Centre, dog obedience facilities, Jubilee
Community Centre and sporting grounds,
the Dry Creek Linear Park 9 has the
potential to be further developed as a
cultural hub. This corridor also connects
to Golden Grove, the River Torrens
Linear Park, and adjoining councils.
There are opportunities to increase
and diversify the community’s use
of the linear park through improved
interpretive signage as well as addition
of sporting and leisure facilities.
Heritage sites (built form)
Heritage sites help connect us with the
achievements and lives of previous
generations, as well as enhancing the
character and attractiveness of the City
for the enjoyment of residents, visitors
and tourists.
We believe that the adaptive reuse of
heritage items is important to ensure
that they continue to be valued, both
economically and culturally.
Council will continue to encourage the
conservation, sensitive development,
and ongoing use of these sites within the
City.

Key Council community hubs
Theme: Our buildings and infrastructure
Key strategic objective 2040: Physical infrastructure that supports the future needs of our
community
Our community is well serviced by a
variety of Council-owned buildings
from which a number of programs are
delivered. Council, in partnership with
state and federal governments and other
stakeholders, will provide dynamic
community hubs which are accessible
and connected to the community.
These hubs will consist of buildings,
spaces and facilities where the
community and visitors can access
recreation, sporting and social programs
and services and which will meet the
needs of our future population.
Community centres
Council’s four community centres are
situated in Greenwith, Surrey Downs,
Wynn Vale and Holden Hill. Each centre
differs in terms of how it relates with
adjacent or nearby primary schools
and kindergartens and its proximity to
playing fields, sporting clubs, reserves
and public transport.
Each centre has also developed
specialist programs for neighbourhood
development that support various
groups such as young people, families,
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people, and those with disabilities.
Council considers that facilities for
neighbourhood activities should be:
• located in neighbourhoods
• highly visible to the community
• within easy walking distance of
public transport, main roads and
thoroughfares
• linked by pedestrian and cycle routes
• where possible, co-located with
community facilities such as schools,
preschools and recreational areas.
Sporting hubs
The City Master Plan encourages
development of sporting hubs that
combine a range of facilities such as
ovals, clubrooms and other amenities for
use by clubs and for informal community
recreation.
The five key sporting hubs are:
• Modbury Sporting Complex (which
includes Waterworld Aquatic
Centre) 8
• Tilley Recreation Park 6
• Hope Valley Sports Area 9
• Banksia Park Sports Area 7
• Harpers Field 5 .
We need to connect the various facilities
and users of the hubs by adopting
shared arrangements and developing
management models in order to create
hubs which are recognised at local,
regional and state levels as leading
providers of sporting experiences.
Because facilities at the hubs can be
used for various purposes, sharing of
resources is promoted. Some of the
existing facilities could be expanded
to include more activities, thereby
encouraging greater use by local
residents.
The establishment of partnerships
between Council, clubs, other
community users and funding bodies is
imperative if we are to create dynamic
sporting hubs within our city.
Recreation centres
Our city’s recreation centres are well
located, close to shopping centres,
community facilities, reserves and
schools, and on public transport routes.
Because they are indoor facilities,
recreation centres provide services year-
round.
We place a priority on ensuring that
the environment in these centres is
high quality and that people of all
ages and abilities have the opportunity
to participate. The programs offered
include social sporting competitions,
junior sports development programs,
fitness classes, heart health, junior gym
and other community programs.
The Golden Grove Recreation and Arts
Centre 10 is surrounded by residential
areas, educational institutions, businesses
and shopping centres. People from
outside our city’s boundaries are also
attracted to the Centre.
Turramurra Recreation Centre 12 is
located on a high-profile main road
and is close to several educational
institutions, a shopping centre, other
commercial land uses and residential
areas.
Burragah Recreation Centre 11 is
situated in a residential area and, and is
close to schools, sporting and shopping
precincts.
Improvements to these facilities
will encourage more efficient and
equitable use of Council facilities by the
community all year round.

Key multi-use community and recreation centres
Theme: Our buildings and infrastructure
Key strategic objective 2040: Physical infrastructure that supports the future needs of our
community
More efficient use of key existing
Council buildings can be achieved by
focusing development plans to meet
the needs of the community. These
buildings have the capacity to meet
increasing demand for community
spaces to support social and recreational
programs.
Our city’s four main community centres
are in Greenwith, Surrey Downs, Wynn
Vale and Holden Hill. These centres
are well used for various programs
by a range of individuals and groups
throughout the year.
The services and programs offered
could be expanded to run from facilities
in other parts of our city where the
community does not have easy access to
recreation facilities. Such areas include:
• Modbury/Ridgehaven
• Hope Valley/Highbury
• Vista/Tea Tree Gully
• Golden Grove/Greenwith.
Multi-use community and
recreation centres
Our city has several Council buildings
that could be transformed into key multi-
use community and recreation centres.
This could be achieved by co-locating
multiple functions and uses, including
recreation, sport, and community or
neighbourhood programs.
Existing recreation and sporting facilities
that could accommodate neighbourhood
development programs include:
• Harpers Field
• Banksia Park Sports Area
• Tea Tree Gully Memorial Hall
• Radar Reserve (St Agnes)
• Burragah Recreation Centre
• Civic Park/Centre
• Old Hope Valley School
• Hope Valley Sports Area
• Turramurra Recreation Centre
• Tilley Recreation Park.
Collaboration with users and
stakeholders will ensure shared and
equitable use of Council’s buildings
and will increase their usefulness to the
wider community.
We will also explore the possibility
of community use of new building
infrastructure in schools.

Local and regional connections

Local and regional connections
Theme: Our transport networks
Key strategic objective 2040: Our community linked through effective transport systems
Our city is connected by a network of
roads, bikeways, walking trails, footpaths
and the Adelaide O-Bahn busway.
Our population is heavily reliant on
cars, but demand for more sustainable
alternatives, such as increased public
transport and bicycle paths is increasing.
Regional connections
Our community depends on robust
road systems and the O-Bahn. Council,
in collaboration with federal and state
governments, provides not only roads,
but also footpaths, bike paths and
walking trails.
Footpaths
Council aims to provide safe footpaths
that comply with design standards and
legislation and meet the needs of people
with disabilities.
While pedestrian safety is Council’s first
consideration when deciding where to
locate footpaths, we also consider:
• pedestrian and vehicular traffic
volumes
• proximity to public transport
• proximity to schools, reserves,
community and recreation facilities
• existing footpath networks and
walking and cycling trails
• connections with shopping and school
precincts, aged care and education
facilities, community and recreation
centres, playgrounds, reserves, and
commercial and residential areas.
Walks and bikeways
Walking and cycling are activities that
contribute to the community’s wellbeing
and improve quality of life.
Bikeways include on-road bicycle
lanes, off-road paths and local street
connections.
Our city’s main off-road shared
pedestrian and bike paths are located
in Cobbler Creek Recreation Park, Dry
Creek Linear Park and the River Torrens
Linear Park; however, scattered trails and
walkways occur throughout the City,
where the topography allows.
Because of the health benefits of cycling,
safe cycling is a Council priority in all
transport and infrastructure planning,
taking into account on- and off-road
facilities, and planning bikeways to
destinations of interest, such as schools,
reserves, sports grounds and shopping
centres. We also promote shared-use
tracks in our open space corridors along
significant creeklines.

Key open space areas
Theme: Our leisure, play and arts
Key strategic objective 2040: Participation in entertainment, recreation, leisure and the arts
Open space in the City comes in various
forms: it may be land developed for
informal and formal sport and recreation;
it may be the natural environment and
environmentally valuable sites or green
spaces; or it may be used for stormwater
management.
Open space — natural, treed areas
that provide habitats for wildlife — is
integral to our city’s character and our
community’s quality of life.
Our sporting hubs are not just recreation
and leisure facilities; they also have
public open spaces that provide social,
economic and environmental benefits to
the community.
Giving people the opportunity to take
part in leisure and recreation can also
forge a stronger community identity
and a more cohesive population. It can
also help develop mentally and socially
healthy communities by providing places
for people to meet and interact.
Our city’s public open spaces include:
• ovals
• parks
• sports fields
• courts
• playgrounds
• picnic areas
• pedestrian and bike paths
• linear corridors.
Large areas of open space are scattered
across the City, and the City also has a
strong visual connection with the Hills
Face Zone to the east and the Adelaide
Plains to the west.
Our community is seeking a wider
variety of programs, services and event
opportunities, and Council will work to
meet that demand.
As a Council, we plan to manage our
open spaces strategically and flexibly
focusing on:
• recreation
• culture
• landscape amenity
• biodiversity and sustainability.
Our strategic approach will aim to
carefully guide the management of open
space to achieve a balanced provision of
quality open space that is well used and
valued by the community.

Activity centre Activity centres are concentrations of business, administrative, civil, retail, entertainment,
employment, research, education and community uses, and increasingly, residential development.
The purpose of activity centres is to cluster commercial and employment activity to improve
accessibility, productivity and the efficient use of infrastructure. (Source: DPLG 2010, The 30-Year
Plan for Greater Adelaide.)
Adaptive reuse Changing a disused or ineffective building into a building that can be used for a different
purpose. When related to a heritage site it should respect and retain the building’s heritage
significance and will usually add a contemporary layer that provides value for the future.
(Adapted from Department of Environment and Heritage)
Business clusters Business clusters are like-minded groups of cooperative businesses and supporting organisations
with common business objectives that work collaboratively for economic growth.
Business incubation Assistance programs designed to specifically help start-up firms become successful businesses that
are able to operate independently and are financially viable.
Community land Community Land is land under the care, control and management of the City of Tea Tree Gully,
as defined by the Local Government Act 1999 Section 193.
Community Panel A panel of community members who provide online feedback to Council as part of our
community engagement. Local residents and business operators can join the panel at any time.
Creative industries Creative industries have their origin in individual creativity, skill and talent, and have the potential
for wealth and job creation through the generation of intellectual property. These might include
advertising, architecture, design, visual arts, music, performing arts, publishing, film, television,
radio and electronic games.
Development Plan The principal document used to assess development within the City and within South Australia.
District centres District centres are large centres that provide a range of retail, office, community and
entertainment facilities. Shopping usually provides the most significant role, with associated civic,
community, commercial and recreational services. (Source: Department of Planning and Local
Government 2010, The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.)
Eastern Region Alliance The Eastern Region Alliance (ERA) is a group of eastern metropolitan councils that voluntarily
work together for the benefit of their local communities and the eastern region community as a
whole. Member Councils of ERA are the cities of Tea Tree Gully, Burnside, Campbelltown, Unley,
Prospect, Norwood Payneham & St Peters and the Town of Walkerville.
Mass rapid transit Regular and significant public transport that uses fixed transit infrastructure such as trains, trams
or the O-Bahn guided busway.
Mixed uses Mixed uses includes a combination of major land-use types such as residential, retail, office,
commercial, civic and light industrial. The mixture of uses can be both vertical and horizontal, but
not necessarily in the same building or site. (Source: DPLG 2010, The 30-Year Plan for Greater
Adelaide.)
Neighbourhood centres Neighbourhood centres serve local residential communities and incorporate a mixture of services
for their daily to weekly needs. (Source: DPLG 2010, The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.)
Northern Adelaide region The Northern Adelaide region is one of seven South Australian Government Administrative
regions that together make up Greater Adelaide. The Northern Adelaide region consists of the
local government areas of Tea Tree Gully, Playford, Salisbury and a portion of Port Adelaide
Enfield.
Glossary

Open space Refers to land that has been reserved for the purpose of formal and informal sport and recreation,
the preservation of natural environments and environmentally valuable sites, the provision of
green space and urban stormwater management.
Adapted from Health Places & Spaces, National Heart Foundation, Planning Institute of Australia,
Australian Local Government Association and Federal Department of Health and Ageing.
Place-making A holistic process that seeks to create good public spaces that we connect with, and that stimulate
our senses and enliven us (adapted from Village Well, 2009).
Public realm Relates to all those parts of the built environment where the public has free access. It
encompasses: all streets, squares, and other rights of way, whether predominantly in residential,
commercial or community/civic uses; the open spaces and parks; and the ‘public/private’ spaces
where public access is unrestricted (at least during daylight hours). It includes the interfaces with
key internal and private spaces to which the public normally has free access. (Source: Alan Baxter
& Associates and Whitelaw Turkington 2005, Public Realm Strategy).
Regional centres Regional centres are major strategic centres that provide a full range of retail, commercial,
administrative, entertainment, recreational and regional community facilities. They are priority
centres for major investments in significant uses that serve regional catchments. (Source:
Department of Planning and Local Government 2010, The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.)
Stakeholder A person or group with a direct interest in an outcome, strategy, policy or initiative.
Strategic management plans A suite of documents that identifies Council’s objectives for the management of the City for at
least four years. Council is required to adopt these under the Local Government Act 1999.
Transit-oriented developments Transit-oriented developments comprise mixed-use, higher-density development centred on a
major public transport access point. They accommodate residential, high-order retail services and
employment activities as well as high quality open space. They are attractive and walkable places
for people to live, work, shop and recreate in an accessible and self-contained community (DPLG
2010).
Urban design The process of creating a vision for an area and then realising it by applying skills and resources.
It incorporates a variety of disciplines to create places that are attractive and have a distinct
identity (adapted from English Partnerships and the Housing Corporation, UK).
Urban renewal The practice of improving the amenity and character of an urban area through initiatives that
also improve the area’s economic, social and environmental sustainability. It often involves the
development of urban design guidelines and urban redesign, investment in infrastructure and
upgrade of public spaces.
