Councillors For Community

Local governments have long played an important role in the protection of local heritage, and are often the authority that makes decisions concerning the demolition of heritage buildings, or the cutting down of urban trees.

Sadly, years of changes to planning laws and policies have diminished not only the rights of individuals, but the ability of local councils to protect local natural and built heritage.

It is more important than ever that we vote for candidates who are committed to protecting our built and natural heritage, and to advocating for the restoration of rights for local residents and councils.

We need Councils that will put Community – and the things the community cares about, like open, green space, and protection of treasured local heritage and character – first.

Shortly, we will be surveying candidates from every South Australian council, with questions about built heritage, urban planning, protecting and growing our urban canopy, and other local matters.
