Decision details

That Council:

1.       Notes that Council resolved to increase funding for each of the City of Adelaide Precinct Groups to $40,000 for the 2026/27 financial year.

2.       Notes that Council also resolved to commence the strategic planning process for the Precincts prior to the end of the 2026/27 financial year.

3.       Notes the importance of ensuring that Precinct Groups are able to use their allocated $40,000 funding to support local precinct activity, engagement, events, communication and initiatives that benefit their communities and main streets.

4.       Requests that the Administration ensure that any costs associated with the Precinct strategic planning process, including facilitation, consultation, preparation of plans or related strategic planning support, are funded separately by Council and are not deducted from the $40,000 funding allocation provided to each Precinct Group for the 2026/27 financial year.

5.       Requests that this funding approach be clearly communicated to all Precinct Groups as part of the Precinct Review and 2026/27 funding arrangements.
