City Committee
The Capital City Committee builds cooperation between
the State Government and the Adelaide City Council,
provides for joint direction setting, and allows for
contentious issues to be raised and resolved in an atmosphere
of goodwill.
The Committee has a collaborative and coordinating
role. Decisions are made through the South Australian
Cabinet and the Adelaide City Council.
Its range of functions under the City of Adelaide
Act 1998 are detailed below:
- to identify and promote key strategic requirements
for the economic, social, physical and environmental
development and growth of the City as the primary
focus for the cultural, educational, tourism, retail
and commercial activities of South Australia
- to promote and assist in the maximisation of opportunities
for effective coordination of public and private resources
to meet the key strategic requirements identified
by the Committee and recommend priorities for joint
action by the State Government and the Adelaide City
Council (within established budget processes and programs)
- to monitor the implementations of programs designed
to promote the development of the City of Adelaide
- make provision for the publication (as appropriate)
of key strategies, goals and commitments relevant
to the development and growth of the City of Adelaide
that have been agreed by the parties who are (or will
be) required to undertake responsibility for their
implementation or delivery
- collect, analyse and disseminate information about
the economic, social, physical and environmental development
of the City of Adelaide, with particular emphasis
on assessing outcomes and identifying factors that
will encourage or facilitate future development within
the City of Adelaide.

Capital City Forum
The City of Adelaide Act, 1998 provides
for the Capital City Committee to establish a Capital
City Forum. The Committee is able to choose what it
sees as appropriate arrangements so there is a great
flexibility in how the Capital City Forum may be constituted
or organised.
Originally, the Capital City Forum was constituted
as a group of up to 25 stakeholders drawn from various
areas of importance for the city and the Capital City
Committee sought to share information with and seek
advice from the members of the Forum. This has been
a useful arrangement and members of these Capital City
Forums have given many hours of their time to help develop
Adelaide as a successful city.
In 2005 the Capital City Committee considered how to gain greater input from a broader cross section of
the community, and decided to take a different approach
to the Capital City Forum arrangements. As a result,
the Capital City Forums have been revised to be ‘events’ held around specific issues of interest to the Capital
City Committee drawn from its work program rather than
quarterly meetings with fixed body members.
The Capital City Forums are being established
as an “Ideas into Action” series. The aim
of these events is to brief community and business leaders
(and potential leaders) on a particular Capital City
Committee priority for the city and to gain a commitment
to action beyond the State Government or the Adelaide
City Council.
The Premier and Lord Mayor have chosen topics for
the Ideas into Action series so that at each Forum event
an issue or challenge associated with the topic can
be worked through to establish how a positive impact
can be made and what can be done by each person attending
the session.
