Message from the Mayor<br />

With its central metropolitan location <strong>and</strong> its<br />

proximity to the coast, <strong>West</strong> <strong>Torrens</strong> is an<br />

appealing place to live, <strong>and</strong> this will inevitably<br />

lead to a future <strong>of</strong> population growth <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> infill<br />

development.<br />

It is important that we plan for this future <strong>and</strong><br />

thus ensure that the environmental, social,<br />

economic <strong>and</strong> community qualities that create<br />

our city’s appeal are not just maintained but are<br />

also enhanced during that growth.<br />

In serving our diverse community, Council is<br />

committed to strive for excellence. Indeed, it is<br />

my personal hope that the broader Adelaide<br />

community eventually refers to our district as<br />

being ‘the leafy western suburbs’.<br />

This <strong>Open</strong> <strong>Space</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> helps<br />

deliver the Community <strong>Plan</strong>'s aspirations by<br />

providing open space <strong>and</strong> public places which<br />

not only improve the built <strong>and</strong> natural<br />

environments, but also create opportunities for<br />

a healthy community life.<br />

Hon. John Trainer<br />

Mayor<br />
