1. FOCUS (Friends if the City of Unley) urges Council NOT to accept the 2 motions without notice passed on10/4/13 at the meeting of the Unley Business & Economic Development Committee.
2. FOCUS is concerned due process was not observed in relation to these motions.
While the UB Committee is entitled to its views there was no opportunity for other councillors & rate payers to debate these. Correctly the UB committee should have directed to their views to the 2 committees taking submissions in relation to these DPAs.
3. FOCUS is concerned if the motion in relation to Local Heritage listing is accepted by council it will compromise heritage preservation in Unley. It is apparent most of the property owners on the have not registered objections to their property listed on the heritage list. Focus urges retention of the interim heritage DPA. As well supports a review of those properties for which objections have been raised. It also supports incentives for residents to preserve their heritage buildings such as waiving of council fees with applications for redevelopment or assistance to residents to apply for heritage grants where appropriate. It is critical the Interim Heritage DPA remain while these matters are investigated.
4. Given the lack of transparency with the UB motions without notice on 10/4/13 Focus requests council not to accept these motions.

The City of Unley Development Strategy and Policy Committee will conduct a Public Meeting at 7 pm on Wednesday 17th April ( please note change of date from Monday 15th) in the Unley Civic Centre, Oxford St, Unley to hear submissions in relation to the City of Unley draft Local Heritage Places Development Plan Amendment (DPA). This Committee is Chaired by Michael Hewitson and the non Councillors on it are Theo Maris, Tim Horton and Roger Freeman.
FOCUS is presenting their Submission and also a couple of Members. We know there are people speaking against it who do not want their houses listed.
Please come along and show interest in Heritage, we need you !!!
Another issue relates to the Unley Council Meeting on Monday 22nd April at the Unley Civic Centre, Oxford St, Unley . The Unley Business and Economic Committee chaired by John Koumi have passed a Motion without Notice that would effectively send the Heritage Local Places DPA back to the drawing board to be reviewed! During this review there would be opportunities for more demolitions to take place. If the Council accept these Committee Minutes at the Council meeting the recommendations will have to be followed.
FOCUS has requested to make a Deputation before Council from the Acting Mayor, Bob Schnell. The Presiding Member and Chief Executive Officer have agreed to our request and ask us to be at Civic Centre just prior to 7pm.
Please come and support FOCUS and lobby your Councillors on this issue.

Dear Unley Resident,
Development in the City of Unley is regulated by your Council’s Development Plan which is currently being amended to better align with the State Government’s 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide. This alignment is a statutory requirement for your Council. The proposed amendments are significant with height limits increased for multi-story developments on Unley and Greenhill Roads. Comments on the proposed amendments are now being sought from the Unley community.
The information brochure attached very briefly outlines the changes many of which have the potential to affect the amenity of residential living. A more detailed Fact Sheet [29 pages] is available from the Council Office. The full plan [89 pages] and the Investigation supporting the plan [85 pages] can be viewed on Council’s website www.unley.sa.gov.au or at the Council Office and Libraries. Now is the time to comment on the Development Plan Amendment. Council is running two information sessions for residents. FOCUS encourages you to attend one of the sessions but your written submission must be lodged no later than 22 February. It is better to have your say now and possibly influence the Amendment to the Development Plan, rather than later!
To further help your understanding of the Development Plan, FOCUS has arranged a special Briefing by David Brown, Unley’s Principal Policy Planner. See flyer overleaf for details. This briefing meeting also provides the opportunity to hear the views of other residents before you lodge your submission with Council.
FOCUS was formed to be a voice for preserving the historical character of Unley. FOCUS is not against development but rather would encourage good development without detracting from Unley’s charm.
We hope to see you at the Briefing on 7 February. Yours sincerely
Ros Islip
President, Friends of City of Unley Society

Consultation notification from the City of Unley for the Main Road Corridors & Mixed Use & Residential Vitalisation Development Plan Amendment
You can also view the City of Unley consultation web page and link to the plan at the following link
http://www.unley.sa.gov.au/site/page.aspx?c=24326
The Development Plan Amendment (DPA) is part of a coordinated Inner Metropolitan Growth Project with the State Government and a key response to the strategies and growth targets of The 30-year Plan for Greater Adelaide. The DPA is a part of Councils program to address required growth by implementing change to achieve a diverse and sustainable community into the future while maintaining the intrinsic character of the City.
The City of Unley is seeking your comments on the proposed DPA to the Unley (City) Development Plan.
Policy amendments in the DPA affect the zoning and intensity of development for the main road corridors and centres in the City ofUnley. This Stage involves priority areas where the development market has indicated demand. Investigations supported the selection of Greenhill Road and Unley Road main street areas to apply the proposed Urban Corridor Zone (refer to the Affected Area Map).
Your views are important even if you are not directly affected, as this is part of a program to review the planning and zoning policies for all of the main road corridors in the City.
