By 2020, Adelaide will show leadership in creating prosperous sustainable communities and export these skills and resources to the world for economic gain.  Our business district, main streets and Rundle Mall will be clean and green, boasting a CBD tram loop and connections to North Adelaide and Hutt Street.  The city centre will have more people in eco-friendly office and apartment buildings and enjoy a new hospital, Adelaide Oval Stadium, Adelaide High "Super School" and growing universities of international acclaim.

Adelaide and North Adelaide will buzz with many more pedestrians enjoying high quality streets, squares and parklands providing events and places for people to mingle giving greater opportunities for local businesses.  It will be a great place to live, work and play for young and old and a safer place to spend your time.

A smart power grid will use local renewable energy to support clean quiet electric cars and bicycles, offering economic and environmental benefits, whilst our solar powered Central Market provides local produce with zero waste.  A new Little India and expanded China Town will both have vibrant markets and serve as the gateway for our Asian friends who visit regularly to do business and enjoy our ‘world class’ lifestyle.

Our activated riverbank and greener parklands will hustle and bustle as a result of quality infrastructure, ensuring they are used by thousands every day for a wide range of activities; be it water capture, a glass of wine, sporting or cultural event. Our heritage will be embraced as a strategic advantage by better funding and exciting modern architecture that respects the past in creating an innovative future.

The Rundle Lantern has brought on a new age of urban art and street lighting, with low energy LED lighting illuminating our city and making it safer and more attractive. Historical and contemporary architecture provide a unique canvas that people come to admire and photograph.

Education and the arts, including multicultural festivals in our rejuvenated Victoria Square almost every weekend, will be the backbone of a city that is smart, creative, prosperous and stimulating.  An international community will live, learn, visit and play in a globally connected city supported by a free wireless network and fast broadband that puts business at the cutting edge of progress and opportunity.

I believe that with Federal, State and Local Government all working together with our business and residential community Adelaide can be a world’s most liveable city at the forefront of the 21st Century economy.   Adelaide can and should be an international brand promoting excellence; together we can make this happen.
