The 2023-24 Annual Business Plan was endorsed at the Special Council meeting on 27 June 2023.. This plan outlines the strategic direction and major initiatives that will guide our work for the next 12 months.
We are investing in projects and activities that will improve our City both now and into the future. Through this plan, we have committed to an extensive capital works program that will progress PAE and bring benefits for the community and our economy.
The City of PAE is filled with landscapes and places that are of significance to the local Kaurna community. During 2023-24, we will begin construction of Yitpi Yartapuultiku, the much-anticipated Aboriginal Cultural Centre, at Western Region Park. With a name meaning “Soul of Port Adelaide”, this authentic and unique community space will be a place for Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal people to learn, experience and be immersed in Aboriginal culture.
As Yitpi Yartapuultiku takes shape in the Port, the preservation of our heritage will be a focus right around the City, and we will develop Heritage Conservation Management Plans to guide this work. We know that the care of our environment is crucial for our health, social wellbeing and economic future. The implementation of our Net Zero Emissions Plan will lower our corporate greenhouse gas emissions as we switch to low-emission technologies and as we continue to invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency and low emission vehicles. The replacement of 6,200 streetlights with energy-efficient LEDs will also reduce energy consumption across PAE. There will also be improvements to our waste management program with new recycling initiatives and our commitment to the circular economy.
In all that we do – from delivering major projects, building and repairing local infrastructure, and providing community development, health and waste services, we are committed to making the City of PAE a great place to be.
