Frequently Asked Questions:

Why are we consulting with the community on the Code?

Under Section 92 of the Local Government Act 1999, before the Council’s adopt, alters or substitutes the Code, the Council must provide the draft Code for public consultation and comment.

What meetings and documents does the Code apply to?

This Code applies to all ordinary and special meetings of Council and Council Committees at the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters and the associated agenda, minutes and attachments that relate to those meetings.

This Code is not applicable to the Council Assessment Panel, which is governed by the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 and associated Regulations.

How is this Code different to the old Code?

The new Code has been prepared following the staged commencement of substantial legislative changes made to the Local Government Act 1999 since 2021.

The Code also includes information on the legislative reporting that the Council is required to provide on the use of Section 90(2) and 91(7) of the Act as part of the Council’s Annual Report.

Comments closed 5.00pm, Monday 8 July 2024.

The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters manages parking in the local area to balance the needs of a wide range of users including residents, businesses and visitors.

CityPlan 2030: Shaping Our Future - Update 2024

15/01/2024

CityPlan 2030: Shaping Our Future is the leading document in the Council’s Strategic Planning Framework and guides the future planning, programming and delivery of projects and services for the City.

The Council is currently reviewing its Strategic Management Plan, CityPlan 2030 – Update 2024.

CityPlan 2030, provides the overarching strategic framework for all of the Council’s services, projects and decision-making. It is based on a Quadruple Bottom Line approach, applying best practice sustainability principles to guide all decisions as to how the Council plans and delivers its services and facilities. The four (4) pillars of integrated sustainability, upon which the Council has based its strategic plan are: Social Equity, Cultural Vitality, Economic Prosperity and Environmental Sustainability.

CityPlan 2030 was originally developed as a long-term Strategic Management Plan spanning a twenty-year period, in contrast to the traditional short-term plans which have a lifespan of only three-to-five years.
