City Plan – Adelaide 2036
The City Plan outlines the City of Adelaide’s spatial plan for the sustainable growth and development of our city. It provides an urban design framework to guide planning within the City of Adelaide, working towards Council’s target population of 50,000 residents by 2036.
Building on existing plans and commitments, City Plan – Adelaide 2036 will promote city growth that is centred around the needs of its people, now and into the future.
The City Plan has been developed through a four-stage process involving extensive research and community collaboration. This approach has helped us understand how we want to live, work, learn, play, and connect in our capital city in the future.
We would like to hear your feedback on the draft City Plan including the focus areas and strategies to realise the city’s full potential.

Background
City Plan – Adelaide 2036 will be a guide for sustainable growth and development in the City of Adelaide. It will be part of the City of Adelaide’s suite of Strategic Management Plans, as outlined in the Strategic Plan 2024-2028.
The draft City Plan is informed by city wide spatial analysis developed and distilled from over 400 datasets. The datasets have been used to develop metrics to analyse and measure interventions, outcomes, and progress. These metrics will be used to assess, track and monitor outcomes and growth across the city.
Input from the community has also shaped the priorities and strategies outlined in the draft City Plan, including the City Plan Studio in September 2023, Adelaide online engagement in April 2024, and local area focus groups, April 2024.
