“Is Adelaide’s Transport on the Right Track?”
Held on Monday 8th September 2014 at the Burnside Council Ballroom
“There needs to be a shift in thinking towards planning for people rather than simply reproducing old transport engineering solutions in response to the whims of out-of-touch politicians” says Dr Wilmore, Secretary of the Community Alliance SA.
Residents and community members came to hear answers to the BIG transport questions. Read more……
At the heritage listed Capri Theatre Goodwood – Saturday 16th August 2014
Our Movie Fundraiser was a great success with over 120 people attending and enjoying drinks and nibbles. There was plenty of time to catch up with friends for a chat before listening to music from the unique world class pipe organ and watching the movie –“The Hundred-Foot Journey”. We also had an impromptu auction of five quality prints made by a local Norwood artist.
What a great way to spend a rather wet and cold Saturday afternoon with friends and like-minded people.
A big ‘thank you’ to everyone who helped and provided food, drink and artwork for the auction.
The Capri was a great venue and the staff and volunteers did a fantastic job. Take a look at the Capri website.

The Community Alliance SA has made a submission on the lack of publicly available information and inadequate community engagement in the planning process for the proposed upgrade of South Road ( Torrens Road to River Torrens) as part of the North South Corridor project.
“The overall view of the Community Alliance is that public consultation is occurring too late in the planning process with the public excluded from considering vital information and not being consulted on other options. This leaves community members with little faith that their views will change anything but minor details. This is a major flaw throughout Adelaide’s planning system, which is currently dominated by politics and engineering needs with little consideration given to the social, environmental and economic implications. This is not planning for the people of Adelaide.”
