KALEIDOSCOPE
MAYOR’S MESSAGE
As we move into the second half of the year, this edition looks ahead to an exciting time for our community. From the launch of our Community Vision 2040 to honouring our Sports Awards winners, there is much to share.
Our Community Vision 2040 connects community priorities with our work on projects and services. Over 500 community members contributed their ideas, helping us build a vision to guide us into the future. Featuring themes and principles to lead our actions, this document is a public commitment to work together to make our shared vision a reality.
This edition highlights how our projects align with our five themes: vibrant places, our transforming city, connecting and belonging, local neighbourhoods, and valuing nature. We are committed to strengthening our connection with the community, fostering a sense of belonging that means the world to us.
Sport and recreation provide enjoyment within our community and help people connect. It was a privilege to recognise the volunteers and officials at our annual Sports Awards, presenting six winners across various categories. Congratulations to all clubs who were a part of our celebrations!
On page 6, you will find the Annual Business Plan and Budget for 2024/25. It aligns with our commitment to transforming our City in response to your suggestions from the Draft Annual Business Plan. The adopted budget includes an overall rate increase of 6.25% plus new property growth, which is below the average rate rise across Adelaide. This includes a service level increase to fund the tree canopy project to reach 25% by 2045. This project will help make our City cooler in the summer by increasing the number of trees planted each year.
The rate increase is due to the City of Charles Sturt’s cost escalating across a range of building materials, services and labour costs. In addition, the tree canopy is an important focus for our community, with improved tree canopy, open space, greening, and biodiversity all being key areas of interest within our community.
This edition highlights completed projects and celebrates wonderful events. Be sure to check the ‘what’s on’ section and join the vibrant activities our City offers.

A REFRESHED VISION FOR OUR COMMUNITY
‘A place to call home, a place where we belong.’
We have created our new Community Vision which outlines a clear and collective understanding for the future of our City. It is a public commitment to work together to make our shared vision a reality.
Our Charles Sturt Community Vision 2040 has:
which connects the aspirations of our whole community
outcomes to focus our priorities
ONE VISION TWENTY-ONE FOUR
major initiatives to be delivered over the next 4 years
FIVE THEMES FOUR
setting the priorities for the next decade and beyond reflecting feedback, ideas and insights from our community
underpinning foundations that will influence all that we do
More than 500 people contributed to develop a Community Vision for our City. This helped shape our themes and outcomes to guide our priorities into the future.

LOCAL NEIGHBOURHOODS
Our community shared how important places are across our City. Local neighbourhoods are valuable to our everyday lives and support wellbeing as we connect with our neighbours, support each other and build community.
VALUING NATURE
Our community shared a desire to protect our environment. From our young school children through to our older residents, we share this passion and are committed to returning greenery and nature to our streets and spaces.
VIBRANT PLACES
Our community can be a place to offer opportunity and provide for everyone. We will work on an improved natural environment together to create unique neighbourhoods and communities that have their own sense of identity.
CONNECTING AND BELONGING
Our community wants to strengthen the ways we can connect with each other and build our sense of belonging as our City continues to become more diverse, with new people from all over the world arriving each week.
OUR TRANSFORMING CITY
How we anticipate and respond to change will be crucial to ensure we increase and maintain a quality standard of living. Over the coming decades we will be transitioning to a low carbon future and navigating the ever changing technological and industrial advances.

OUR ADOPTED BUDGET 24/25
Our Annual Business Plan and Budget for 2024/25 was endorsed on 24 June 2024, and aligns with our commitment to respond to the evolving needs and challenges of our City.
This commitment includes transitioning to a low-carbon future, managing City growth, and preserving our history and heritage.
As part of the plan, there is an overall rate increase of 6.25% plus new property growth. This includes a service level increase to fund the tree canopy project to reach 25% by 2045. This will help make our City cooler in the summer by increasing the number of trees planted each year.
We are dedicated to meeting our community’s needs while being financially responsible. We aim to find savings and cut costs where we can, all while keeping our service levels steady despite the rising cost of living.
The rate increase is impacted by higher costs in building materials, services and
labour. Additionally, enhancing our tree canopy, open spaces, greening, and biodiversity are key community priorities.
The rates invested by the community will ensure we can deliver:
• Continued frequent verge cutting at a cost of $2 million
• $27.2 million towards roads, footpaths, lighting, and stormwater renewal and upgrades
• $16 million on sporting clubs, property, and open space projects, including $1.6 million for updates to the Woodville South Sports Club changerooms
• $5.3 million in 2024/25 for the Ngutungka Henley (Henley Library and Community Centre) project, totalling $11.2 million
• $1.5 million in additional greening and climate initiatives, of which $1.2 million is allocated for tree canopy
• $2.5 million to supply and install solar panels, batteries and associated energy management equipment on Council buildings to maximise the benefit from a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
• $631k in grant funding to support community and business initiatives
We thank everyone who contributed to our Annual Business Plan and Budget consultation process.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS?
Winter weather brings rain and we continue to review and build infrastructure to support larger rain events in our City. Many areas in the western suburbs of Adelaide including the Charles Sturt Council struggle to cope with high intensity storms due to the flat terrain, proximity to the gulf and lack of fall in the stormwater drains.
Our stormwater infrastructure is a mix of underground stormwater pipes, Water Sensitive Urban Design treatments, road, kerbing and verges above ground.
During heavy rain, drains may reach capacity resulting in temporary flooding along the street. This is where the above ground system comes into play, with the road and kerbing capturing stormwater, once the rain ceases the water will begin to subside and drain away.
A MISSION TO EMISSION REDUCTION
We value nature and are committed to creating a cleaner, sustainable and healthier future with our community. We want to work together with you to achieve the biggest benefits – now and for future generations.
We have identified areas across our City that may be more prone to flooding. To support these properties, we provide sandbags that are available for collection. The West Lakes (the Lake) Stormwater Management Plan was recently endorsed by Council and the Stormwater Management Authority. Priority flood mitigation works identified in the Plan have commenced at Gleneagles Reserve, Seaton, to reduce flooding in Leven Avenue, Tapleys Hill Road, and nearby streets in Seaton.
By investing in and upgrading our stormwater infrastructure, we aim to mitigate the impact of heavy rain events and protect our community from flooding.
Stormwater - What happens when it rains on the urban landscape
In 2019, we declared a climate emergency and took immediate action. Through the delivery of our Net Zero Strategy, we have:
• Reduced corporate emissions by 56% (over a five-year period)
• Developed Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) principles for all building renewal projects
• Introduced electric (13% of fleet) and hybrid vehicles (45%) to our corporate passenger fleet
• Began weekly food organics garden organics (FOGO) trials across 1000 properties to divert organic waste away from landfill
• Established a 100% renewable energy contract
• Installed solar panels on 18 council facilities and converted more than 10,000 streetlights to LED technology
• Introduced a Solar Bulk Buy Program
We have consulted with our community and are finalising our Climate Change Response Strategy to build resilience and ensure we adapt to the changing climate.
Are you eager to get involved?
Connect with your local community centre to learn about sustainable living practices for simple ways to reduce your carbon footprint, save money and have fun along the way. You can also participate in our Community Emission Reduction Group to deliver the ‘Mission Possible’ emission reduction plan.

Search ‘community spaces’ on our website to find your local centre.
SALUTING OUR SPORTING CLUBS AND VOLUNTEERS
Sport and recreation sit at the heart of our community and help people connect with one another.
It’s our privilege to recognise the many incredible volunteers and officials at sporting clubs and associations at our annual Sports Awards event. Without their dedication, commitment and sacrifice behind the scenes many of these clubs simply would not exist.
This year, we received 37 nominations across the 4 key award categories from 23 separate sporting clubs representing 13 different sporting codes.
Thank you to our host Mike Smithson and valued sponsors Active Inclusion, The Adelaide 36ers, West Beach Parks, Westfield West Lakes and prize partners Bike SA, The Adaptability Movement, Club Ducks and Here for the Game for supporting this event.
Congratulations to all nominees, finalists and this year’s winners.
