Welcome To The Neighbourhood
Heritage
The Society was established in 1970.
It has a history of advocacy and support for heritage, which is fundamental to the history and character
of the community of North Adelaide
within the City of Adelaide.
Heritage lost cannot be regained.
History valued supports intergenerational
culture and community.
Community
People are central to the life of neighbourhoods.
Together, we create the places and communities
essential for a liveable and engaging North Adelaide.
A people and place-based planning system should
support future liveability of neighbourhoods and localities.
Local and community voices need to be
included in planning and assessment processes
together with accessible appeal rights.

Park Lands
The Park Lands that encircle and permeate
the City of Adelaide are iconic.
They are a key feature of the vision of Colonel Light.
The Park Lands as parklands have an inter-generational value that deserves respect and conservation without incremental degradation.
Park Lands today and into the future, are for this city, people, and future generations to enjoy.

Planning Policy
The North Adelaide Society advocates to bring locals and communities to the fore in order to achieve sensible credible local planning with clarity of rules and requirements - not mere guidelines - that can be easily understood and applied.
People and communities should be entitled to have accessible rights to participate, be heard and appeal if a planning system is to have reasonable accountability.
A fair, accessible, and credible planning system is a cornerstone for development that contributes to liveability and prosperity.
Principled and participatory planning should conserve, support and value the heritage and character of where people live, work and visit.
