Unsolicited proposals

New ideas are essential to the ongoing growth of the City of Adelaide.

As the capital city of South Australia, the City of Adelaide welcomes ideas which place us at the forefront of social, cultural, commercial, technological and environmental progress.

The City of Adelaide’s 2020–2024 Strategic Plan clearly articulates an agenda to enhance the City’s liveability and increase prosperity for all people through sustainable economic growth.

The City of Adelaide is often approached with great ideas, and in considering these, Council needs to demonstrate transparency and accountability. Any proposal received will be reviewed and assessed against councils risk and opportunity framework and reported through to the Executive Strategic Risk Group and the Audit & Risk Committee for further consideration.

Council will consider each proposal and the assessment process as part of its decision making process.

  • the provision of infrastructure for the community; or
  • an innovation or entrepreneurship with benefits to the Council
