Pick the projects for your neighbourhood

To meet the needs of our community now and into the future we are preparing a neighbourhood plan for the suburbs of West Hindmarsh, Welland and Hindmarsh, located south of Grange Road and Manton Street.

A catalyst for this neighbourhood plan is the proposed Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Project as the North-South Motorway impacts Langman Reserve, West Hindmarsh. We also see opportunities to create new open space at the end of Barrpowell Road, increase tree canopy cover, and support our local business community.

We need your feedback and ideas to help us plan your neighbourhood, and understand what is important to you.

Your neighbourhood

We want to work with you to make your neighbourhood safe, attractive, and a great place. Here are six ingredients that help create a great neighbourhood.

Nine project ideas for your neighbourhood

Nine projects have been suggested for your neighbourhood and we are inviting you to tell us which are important to you. These projects aim to improve liveability for residents and support our local business community. Click on the dots on the map to read about each project idea. Below the map look for a link to read more information about the 9 projects.

What will happen next?

Once we have heard back from you, we will look at all the community feedback we have received and refine the various project ideas for the neighbourhood. Then we will then finalise the West Hindmarsh, Welland and Hindmarsh Your Neighbourhood Plan and provide this plan to Council for endorsement so that we can begin to design and deliver agreed projects.

Our plan will be to start with high priority projects and find funds to deliver these over the next few years. Where possible we will seek grant funding from State government and other sources. Lower priority projects may take longer to deliver, and/or added to our schedule for open space, greening, road and footpath upgrades planned in this neighbourhood.
