22.01.2022 Here is the official ranking of all metropolitan councils and their tree canopy coverage. Where does your council sit? The average across metropolitan Adelaide... is 23.37%. #1 City of Mitcham 48.81% #2 City of Burnside 37.74% #3 City of Tea Tree Gully 29% #4 Town of Walkerville 27.35% #5 City of Unley 26.63% #6 City of Adelaide 25.5% #7 City of Onkaparinga 25.45% #8 Campbelltown City Council 24.18% #9 City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters 23.97% #10 City of Prospect 20.45% #11 City of Salisbury 16.52% #12 City of Holdfast Bay 15.28% #13 City of Marion 15.01% #14 City of West Torrens 12.64% #15 City of Charles Sturt 11.97% #16 City of Port Adelaide Enfield 9.89% Canopy coverage was measured using LIDAR scans in mid-2018 and early 2019. Hopefully, a second scan will be done soon which will allow for a more detailed analysis of where canopy is being lost and gained. Unfortunately, the City of Playford’s canopy levels are missing from the public report I am unsure why!

21.01.2022 Here is a snippit of Steve Murray MP, Member for Davenport's report. Mainly talking about the On The Run development on the corner of Park Avenue and Christie Way. Talking about road safety, costings and communities interest in the development since there was no consultation because the zoning is light industrial. A big concern are pedestrian crossings, there is a desire for safe pedestrian infrastructure because of the nearby schools, childcare, kindygardens and shops means a lot of foot traffic and the need for safe clear crossings. Unfortunately it's not clear if crossings are part of the development and that leads to who will do it? Apologies for not being able to hear the questioners, people don't normally interject into our reports but many people were more than happy to jump into Steve's report.
