11.8 Cats By-Law No 6 – Update and Questions from Legislative Review Committee
Cr Leombruno moved that Council receive the update regarding Council’s Cats By-Law No 6 and advise the Legislative Review Committee that it has considered its correspondence dated 8 June 2021 and advises that it is prepared to wait for the review of the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995 before implementing the By-Law. The Motion lapsed for want of a Seconder Cr Noble moved and Cr McLuskey seconded that Council receive the update regarding Council’s Cats By-Law No 6 and advise the Legislative Review Committee that it has considered its correspondence dated 8 June 2021 and advises that: 1. It is not prepared to consider a longer lead-in time to implement full containment of
cats for the following reasons:
Council would need to undertake a Variation By-Law resulting in a considerable timeframe delay and expense for its Community as Cats By-Law No 6 has already commenced
The By-Law has been made in accordance with Council’s legislative powers and with the support of the Local Government Association, Dog and Cat Management Board and the local Community
Council balanced conflicting views and its responsibilities to represent the interests of its Community when preparing the By-Law
There is no legislative framework for Council to amend the containment timeframe to accommodate the RSPCA request to consider a ‘full generation of cats’. The timeframe considered for transition to full containment was determined based on other recent containment By-Laws made. There is no evidence or precedence for a longer lead time.
Urban infill, pressures on local wildlife and a desire to protect identified cats and other domestic cats needs to be addressed in a considered and shorter timeframe. Delaying beyond 1 January 2024 will have a detrimental impact on animal welfare and Community wellbeing.
2. It is not prepared to wait for the review of the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995
before enacting a provision of full containment for the reasons previously stated and the following reasons:
The timeframe for commencement of a revised Dog and Cat Management Act
and parameters to be contained in a new Act are unknown
A delay in introduction of full containment provisions will result in confusion and angst for the local Community given that Council has consulted extensively on these issues in 2020 and resolved to proceed with the By-Law.
14
Ref: 6501777 Page 7
Capacity to address unidentified/feral cat issues (local nuisance and safety of domestic animals and local wildlife) is tied to the introduction of full containment provisions. Any delay with the introduction of these provisions is likely to result in increased prevalence of unidentified cats in the local area increasing these issues.
A Division was requested by Cr Leombruno.
This set aside the Mayor’s declaration that the Motion was Carried and the Mayor then took the Division being:
For: Cr Kennedy, Cr Casciano, Cr Dr Irvine, Cr Blackborough, Cr Flynn, Cr McLuskey, Cr Noble and Cr Barbaro
Against: Cr Leombruno and Cr Britton-La Salle
As a result of the Division the Mayor declared the Motion was Carried 12. Member’s Reports Mayor Whittaker A Citizenship Ceremony will be held on Thursday 17 June
2021 at 5.30 pm in the Function Centre. Connect with the Campbelltown Community whilst enjoying a

Advised that her next Coffee Chat will be held at Red Mill
Bakehouse from 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm on 29 June.

6. Questions With Notice
These responses are based on the current Planning Development and Infrastructure Act and the Development Assessment Portal, which sets out the process that is relevant to applications which were on the portal since 19 March 2021:
6.1 Councillor Noble
Question 1
As part of the consultation process for Category 2 and 3 proposed developments, what is the notification process that neighbouring residents receive regarding their rights to make a submission to oppose aspects of these developments?
Answer
There is no longer Category 2 and Category 3 public notification, there is just one public notification process that is undertaken for all applications that require it. The process is that property owners and residents within 60 metres of the subject land are notified by mail and given 15 business days to make a representation, in addition to this a notice is placed on the property during the notification period which includes a QR code which references the application in the portal.
Question 2
Can you provide an example of the notification that a neighbouring resident would receive?
Answer
Ref: 6501976
Question 3 Does the notification include a contact phone number of a Staff member that they can contact to seek more information or clarification of the development process? Answer No the letter is a standardised for all Councils and simply provides a general phone number and email address for the individual Council. Question 4 If a resident contacts Council to seek clarification or more information regarding a proposed development and leaves a message, what processes does Council have to ensure that emails and phone calls are returned in a timely manner? Answer Council Staff should respond within the Customer Service Charter timeframes. Question 5 How can Council improve the information supplied and communications processes with residents to ensure that all eligible residents are able make informed submissions regarding a development? Answer Council cannot make changes to the process or the information that is provided in the notification letters, this is controlled by PlanSA and the Development Assessment Portal. Question 6 What information does Council provide these residents of the Council Assessment Panel processes? Answer At the moment residents who have made a representation are invited to attend the meeting and those who have elected to speak are invited to do so, however no information about the meeting process is provided prior to the meeting (the Presiding Member does explain the process for representors at the start of the meeting). Staff are currently developing general information for the website which will provide some context on the meeting process.
18
Ref: 6501976
Question 7 When a resident provides a representation to the Council Assessment Panel, and the Panel agrees to the recommendation of the resident, what rights does this resident have to ensure that the Panel and Staff implement the recommendation? Answer If, as a result of the Panel’s deliberations they require an amendment by way of condition to an application, it is recorded and included in the Decision Notification Form and compliance with this condition can be followed up by Staff. Question 8 What notification process does Council Staff have regarding informing residents that have made a representation to the Council Assessment Panel, of the outcome of the decision of the Panel? Answer The Portal generates correspondence and forwards a copy of the Decision Notification Form as a part of the approval process. Question 9 What appeal rights do residents have over the decisions of the Council Assessment Panel?

This second set of responses are based on the previous Development Act requirements and processes: 6.1 Councillor Noble
Question 1 As part of the consultation process for Category 2 and 3 proposed developments, what is the notification process that neighbouring residents receive regarding their rights to make a submission to oppose aspects of these developments? Answer Property owners and residents (where Council is able to identify a tenancy) on adjoining properties or within 60m where separated by a road or reserve are notified by letter. In addition to this, in a Category 3 notification, Staff advise any additional properties who they consider to be materially affected by the proposed development and a notice is placed in The Advertiser. Question 2 Can you provide an example of the notification that a neighbouring resident would receive? Answer Yes see attached. Question 3 Does the notification include a contact phone number of a Staff member that they can contact to seek more information or clarification of the development process?
20
Ref: 6501976
Answer The number provided is the general planning enquiries number which goes to Council’s Development Support Officer who directs enquiries to the Assessing Officer if necessary.

Question 5 How can Council improve the information supplied and communications processes with residents to ensure that all eligible residents are able make informed submissions regarding a development? Answer The processes in place are in accordance with the legislative requirements of the Development Act and Regulations, the processes may not go beyond these requirements. These processes have previously been audited by law firm Kelledy Jones and found to be correct. Staff are happy to, and frequently do, discuss applications and the process of public notification with residents. Question 6 What information does Council provide these residents of the Council Assessment Panel processes? Answer At the moment residents who have made a representation are invited to attend the meeting and those who have elected to speak are invited to do so, however no information about the meeting process is provided prior to the meeting (the Presiding Member does explain the process for representors at the start of the meeting).

Answer Residents who made a representation are sent a letter and a copy of the Decision Notification Form. Question 9 What appeal rights do residents have over the decisions of the Council Assessment Panel? Answer For a Category 2 development an adjoining resident has no right of appeal. For a Category 3 development anyone who made a representation has a right of appeal. Question 10 Does Council have a Charter of Customer Service and does this apply to the consultation process for Category 2 and 3 developments? Answer Council has a Customer Service Charter.

Cr Leombruno submitted the following motion for consideration:
9.1 That Council write to GAROC requesting that they advocate to the Commissioner for the amendment of garage sizes beyond what is considered to be the Australian Standard, so as to accommodate for both larger vehicles and storage use.
Rationale:
In the original draft Code they were looking to increase the internal dimensions of garages however this was unfortunately reduced down to the Australian Standards which we can see from current experience, is clearly not fit for purpose. The current garage sizes are inadequate and we will continue to see garages used for purposes other than storing vehicles until this is addressed.
Cr Dr Irvine submitted the following motion for consideration:
9.2 That Council endorse that the remainder of the 2020/2021 Climate Solutions Fund allocation to be carried forwarded as additional funding to the Annual Budget Allocation of $250,000 for 2021/2022 and that future remainders of the allocated Annual Climate Solutions Fund be cumulative.
Rationale:
Due to the global pandemic which delayed the appointment of a Climate Solutions Officer and the establishment of the Section 41 Climate Solutions Advisory Committee, there was no time for any consideration and prioritising the options for spending the first annual budget allocation of $250,000.
31
Ref: 6501976
This money is quite a modest amount for the many Community focussed actions that are under consideration by the new Committee and will soon come to Council for consideration. New projects and services rarely sit comfortably in one financial year. Loss of any part of the annual budget would compromise Council’s ability to launch critical changes that will future proof our Community.
Cr Noble submitted the following motion for consideration: 9.3 That the Chief Executive Officer commences formal discussions with the
Department for Education and the Minister for Education to work through proposals that would be suitable to both Council and the State Government to actively consider a joint project with the Department for Education to build a Performing Arts Centre either at the new public high school in Rostrevor or adjacent to the site and work with the Department for Education to consider the possible ownership and operational models that would provide mutual benefit to both Council and the new high school, and Council actively seeks funding grants from both the State and Federal Governments for this project.

3. Manager Community Services & Social Development’s Report 3.1 Ageing Plan Update Ms Brice moved and Ms von Thien seconded that the Committee receive the Ageing Plan Update report and provide the following feedback: 1. in response to the lower scores for the Age-Friendly Neighbourhoods
Self-Assessment: Shared pedestrian and cycle pathways: the Committee discussed the following
issues: The width of the pathways People who are wanting to walk are worried about cyclists The speed of bikes Need for courtesy The importance of investing in the right infrastructure to support use Education through signs and information about speeds Lobbying for more enforcements of compliance for cyclists.
Physical exercise programs: suggestion that more consideration needs to be given
to over 65s when designing programs at The ARC and that an awareness of age-friendly in terms of programs is lacking
Footpaths: noted the need for footpaths to be repaired, particularly where there is a lot of development happening and footpaths are damaged. The Committee made the following suggestions: For Council to do an audit on footpaths to improve surfaces and check
footpaths where property development is happening For Council to advertise more for Community members to log when they
notice issues with footpaths.
Gophers: sometimes gophers need to go on to the road because of damaged footpaths, and permapine fencing often restricts access to streets and laneways
Housing: suggested identifying where the opportunities are to partner to improve
local housing for over 65s.
The time being 4.50 pm Mayor Whittaker left the meeting.
The Committee acknowledged that age-friendly philosophy is embedded in Council’s strategic documents
38
Ref: 6496823 Page 3
provided the following feedback:
Laneways: support a laneway project that is a way of storytelling to promote active ageing. The Committee noted that drains in laneways need to be considered, which means it’s not good for walking and therefore a flat laneway is needed, such as the laneway between Galaxy Way and Aurora Court.
Street furniture: discussed the need for more benches which will also
encourage more age-friendly movement. The Committee suggested the use of memorial benches and that this could be considered at budget time. Sponsorship opportunities could also be considered (ie through the Food Trail). Benches could be incorporated into laneways that have art so that people could sit and enjoy the art. It was suggested that the Men’s Shed could make the benches and Ripples Community Arts could add a design so that the street furniture doubles as a piece of artwork.
Greening of the Community: discussion occurred about a Community Nursery
and volunteering opportunities for over 65s. The current Nursery initiative with The Gums Landcare Group and Athelstone Primary School was discussed and opportunities for connection between over 65s and the children at the school.
Ageism: support of a joint, intergenerational initiative between the Active
Ageing Advisory Committee and the YAC (Youth Advisory Committee) tackling ageism. The Committee will bring their ideas to the next meeting with a suggestion for the YAC to also consider some ideas for a joint initiative.
Carried 3.2 Members’ Reports Ms Brice raised the need to have another newsletter so that people know about the
different activities that are happening.
Cr Kennedy suggested releasing a Community notice attached to the rates notices (in addition to ‘The Snippet’) with a comprehensive list of what is happening in the Community over the next three months. Ms Seifert suggested getting information out through local politicians. Ms Spencer suggested a calendar of events and activities and using an electronic sign at Council.
Ms Brice shared about the ‘Think Human and Adult Safeguarding Unit’ workshop
recently held, with another workshop on ageism coming up on Tuesday 22 June from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm at Campbelltown Library, to co-design a positive ageing toolkit.
Ms Spencer thanked Council Staff for the Volunteer Dinner and acknowledged their work.

Background
Local Government Representatives including Elected Members, Mayors and Senior Staff attended a forum with Green Adelaide on 3 June 2021. This was a follow up to previous meetings held in 2020 to assist Green Adelaide develop priorities and inform its Regional Landscape Plan and Annual Business Plan 2021-2022. A follow up letter (attached) has been received from Green Adelaide seeking endorsement of several of its key iconic projects including the LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data capture proposal and the National Park City.
Discussion
LiDAR Project Proposal
The attached document outlines the proposal from Green Adelaide to undertake an additional LiDAR capture across Metropolitan Adelaide in Summer 2021/2022 and seeks financial support from Local Government. This would be two years since the last metro wide LiDAR capture and four years since heat mapping was undertaken.
Whilst Staff and Resilient East Councils generally support the additional LiDAR capture as it is important to enable analysis on trends and ongoing data collection, there are a few concerns with the proposed timing and budget requested from Councils. Seeking funding allocation from Councils at this point is more difficult due to budgets having already been set for the 2021/2022 financial year. There are also concerns about the set fee for all Councils as this does not reflect the size of the Council area, especially as smaller Councils may not be able to contribute as much, particularly in the proposed time frame. Financially contributing to the project will enable access to and provision of the data for analysis and use. Not contributing only provides access to the publicly available data. Whilst this is a pragmatic approach, it could lead to some Councils being disadvantaged in accessing the data they need at a later date.
55
Ref: 6501976
Suggestions from the Resilient East Canopy Working Group were that Green Adelaide and other State Government Organisations could undertake the data capture and Councils can then contribute to the reporting element if required, or pay to access the data in the 2022/2023 year if required. It is agreed that it is important to have the State Government coordinate this to provide a consistent dataset for better comparison and analysis across the Metro area. The previous capture had a variety of resolutions and slightly differing parameters which made it more difficult to compare. Different Councils will want different levels of information so if this is undertaken and paid for by the State Government, it helps remove some of those conflicting requirements. Another consideration is that heat mapping doesn’t need to be measured as regularly as greening. It is not easily comparable given colour bands will be based on averages, and this is likely to get worse before it gets better due to increase of buildings and development, and the time it takes for trees to grow and create cooling impact. There has previously been a suggestion from Resilient East to link it to State of the Environment reporting, which may very well change in time, however is a longer term change being recorded. What do Resilient East Councils want to be able to measure and monitor? The Resilient East Canopy Group agreed the following would be beneficial to ongoing management and monitoring of their canopy and green cover:
Council and metro wide statistics on: Impact of development to urban green space, canopy cover and urban heat
Change to hot spots? Total canopy cover change Total greenspace change Breakdowns between and comparisons between previous LiDAR stats:
o Land-use o Land-ownership o Track the projects that have been implemented – (ie cool roads,
greening projects, WSUD, banning artificial turf). Potentially something that can be undertaken as a separate analysis through Resilient East.
Clear objectives from State Government as to how to use this to assess policy
changes for planning. Challenges and Considerations In 2019 some Councils had the data analysed at higher resolution and also included
2m high trees – they are likely to want the same detail The way in which Councils receive and are ready to use the data All heat maps colours are based on deviations from the averages, so the colours
will look different for future comparison.
56
Ref: 6501976
In answer to the question in the attached letter from Green Adelaide relating to the contribution towards the LiDAR:  
‘Would your Council be able to contribute $10,000 towards the heat mapping and canopy cover work?’
Staff recommend a response that includes the following key points: That Council strongly support the State Government taking the lead on and
coordinating the LiDAR data capture and is willing to contribute to this initiative, however do not support the current costing proposal and would like to see something that better reflects Council size and capacity to do this
If not all Councils contribute due to limited timeframe, will this project still go ahead as it is unclear at this stage
Staff would prefer the State Government fund the data capture and Councils contribute to data access, analysis and reporting which would enable more Councils to allocate funding in their budget for 2022/2023 if required
Canopy and vegetation should be undertaken as a minimum Communication package of the data/result should be undertaken at State level –
which is not included in current funding proposal.
National Park City Proposal
Green Adelaide is leading a push for Adelaide to become a National Park City. The attachments provide more information on what is involved, however it is a rigorous process involving a lot of work to be accredited. Currently only London has been accredited, however several other Cities worldwide have expressed intent or commenced the process. An overview of what is involved in the process can be found at https://www.nationalparkcity.org/ Whilst the notion supports everything Council and Resilient East would like to see in terms of greening Cities, it is unclear what extent the commitment is to see this through and whether the funding and resources required to get accredited will result in meaningful and relevant policy changes to ensure this outcome is achieved. Additionally, whilst it is commendable to become a National Park City, will this be at the expense of preserving and maintaining existing National Parks located on Council’s doorstep? (ie Black Hill and Morialta) which many local residents cherish. Funding and resources have been reduced over the past few years in this area and the concern is that these may become more degraded whilst the National Park City concept is pursued? In principle this is a great notion, however it is unclear if this will result in less focus on maintaining existing National Parks.   In relation to the questions provided in the letter to Council, the following is recommended for a response:
Is Council, through the Mayor, willing to join Green Adelaide in signing an
Adelaide National Park City Charter in late July?
Yes, subject to being comfortable with the content of the final Charter.
57
Ref: 6501976
Who, from Council, can be part of a LG workshop to influence this Charter over the coming weeks?
It is recommended that Ms Rachael Hamilton would be the most suitable Staff member to represent Council in the development of the Charter.
With support of a suitable motion ‘template’ (initial draft version enclosed) are
you able to discuss this in the Council Chamber?
The proposed motion and recommendation outlined in the attachment is:
‘Council resolves that: 1. The [insert name of Council] shows public support for Adelaide
becoming a National Park City, through signing the Adelaide National Park City Charter.
2. Opportunities be considered for [insert name of Council]
communications which reference Adelaide National Park City, promoting current programs which align to the Adelaide National Park City Charter.
3. When reviewing Strategic Plans, Community Plans etc., [insert
name of Council] consider including clear links to Adelaide National Park City.’
Staff recommend putting forward 1 and 2, however as Staff have just reviewed all key Strategic Plans, would recommend reworking 3 to reflect this. Staff have also removed ‘through signing the Adelaide National Park City Charter’ until such time as a draft has been finalised for consideration. Social Implications There are no social implications in relation to this report. Environmental / Climate Change Implications The recommendations support Council’s Environment Plan through increasing greening of urban areas and managing how we can measure this over time. Asset Management Implications There are no asset management implications in relation to this report. Governance / Risk Management Participation in these programs aligns to Council’s ‘Greening Our City’ Strategic Goal.
58
Ref: 6501976
Community Engagement Should Council endorse the recommendations it will need to promote the National Park City concept more broadly in the Community to show support for it. Regional Implications The recommendations support canopy mapping for all of metropolitan Adelaide as well as potential increased greening through National Park City as a region. Economic Development Implications There are no economic development implications in relation to this report. Financial Implications Should Council support the recommendation to contribute for the LiDAR, it will cost up to $10,000. This has yet to be confirmed and also which budget year it might come from. If it was to be funded, it could be considered through existing budget allocations or the Climate Solutions Fund through the Climate Solutions Advisory Committee. Recommendation That Council: 1. prepare a response directly to Green Adelaide in relation to the questions
outlined in the attachment as per the following:
that Council strongly support the State Government taking the lead on and coordinating the LiDAR data capture and is willing to contribute to this initiative, however do not support the current costing proposal and would prefer an arrangement that better reflects Council’s size
Staff would prefer the State Government fund the data capture and Councils contribute to data access, analysis and reporting which would enable Councils to allocate funding in their 2022/2023 budget, as required
canopy and vegetation should be undertaken as a minimum
communication package of the data/result should be undertaken at State level
Council is willing to join Green Adelaide in signing an Adelaide National Park City Charter in late July subject to Council supporting the content of the final Charter
Council nominate Ms Rachael Hamilton to be involved in a Local
Government workshop to influence the Charter over the coming weeks.

Ref: 6501976
2. resolves that:
the City of Campbelltown supports Adelaide becoming a National Park City
opportunities be considered for Council’s communications which
reference Adelaide National Park City, to promote current programs which align to the Adelaide National Park City Charter
Council consider including links to its future Strategic Plans to the
Adelaide National Park City
Re: Local Government and Green Adelaide 3 June forum
Thank you for taking the time to again meet with the Green Adelaide board on 3 June at the Thebarton Community Centre. Your commitment to the day highlights our shared aspiration to have strong partnerships based on our common grounds as they relate to each of our greening agendas.
On the day, we acknowledged our December 2020 meetings with you and how your shared green agendas have been incorporated and recognised in both our Regional Landscape Plan 2021-26 and our Annual Business Plan 2021-22. Both these documents are currently with the Minister for Environment and Water, seeking his endorsement. We will provide copies as soon as we are able.
In highlighting our annual business plan we talked about the four iconic programs being pursued. We spoke in particular about the first two, and signalled our interest in progressing conversations in relation to the second two at a future meeting.
Iconic projects Greening our streets and backyards Making Adelaide a National Park City Rewilding our rivers and coastline Restoring culture
We also provided an overview of our financial status and highlighted that we are wanting to better synchronise our budget planning cycle and priorities with the collective of Councils, and that this may take a few funding cycles to resolve. This is also in acknowledgement of our different legislative responsibilities. Until then, we feel that our 2021/22 annual Business Plan is nudging us closer together.
Also on the back of our December meetings, you asked us to take the lead on coordinating the canopy cover and heat mapping across the 17 councils, to ensure a consistent and comparable dataset from which good decisions can be made. To that end, we have gone to market and can confirm that estimates for this work are in the order of $500,000. The majority of the costs can be sourced from Green Adelaide and collaborating state agencies. The outcomes of this work can be made better if Councils could contribute up to $10,000 each, to enable all partners to consistently make strategic, evidence based decisions to maximise the impact of our collective greening investments. For further details, please see the attached proposal for your consideration.

The final matter discussed was Adelaide National Park City. Green Adelaide is vying for metro-Adelaide to become the second city to gain National Park City status. London became the first National Park City in 2019 and there’s the goal of 25 cities by 2025 having this title. Being a National Park City brings international recognition to the collective effort of citizens to create an urban landscape that results in stronger social connections and wellbeing because of their care for the environment and being active in transforming how we live while facing the challenges of climate change and urban densification.
Earning the reputation of being a National Park City (NPC) is expected to improve the wellbeing of people, the liveability of the city and the financial strength of the city by creating nature based employment and circular economies to name a few outcomes. We all stand to benefit from this collective movement towards living with Nature in the city.
There is a rigorous assessment path that needs to be taken to achieve NPC status. One of them is to have majority community support, and another is for the city to have a Charter for people to sign. Green Adelaide is currently connecting with over 100 key influencers across Adelaide to start crafting this Charter, one that is built on the Universal NPC Charter. From our investigations, the collective effort of all the Greater Adelaide Councils, in delivering on your own community strategies, means that we’re already meeting the expectations of a National Park City. Some of you are already Tree City members or Mayors for Climate Change Action. These are examples of the attributes that make for a multi-jurisdictional push towards being a NPC. Our intention is to keep building on that momentum, for being a city who lives with nature and is transforming to being a liveable city in the face of climate change.
We’re starting as a government (Green Adelaide) led movement, but we want to hand this movement over to the community when the time is right. We want to co-design this Charter with key influencers - including Councils. Who from your staff should we connect with, to start shaping the vision and Charter for Adelaide as a National Park City? Will you join with Green Adelaide to sign the Adelaide NPC Charter in late July, when we have it completed? To coordinate your support, we propose to draft a motion for your Council to consider. We will also work with the Greater Adelaide Regional Organisation of Councils to consider and promote this approach to your organisations.
This is an exciting new venture, and The Advertiser’s polling of the citizens of South Australia on World Environment Day (5 June) will help us shape the journey. Within days, over 600 people indicated that they want to play a role – this ranges from individuals to businesses. The movement has started.
To summarise the feedback we are seeking from each council: can you please contact Brenton Grear (Director Green Adelaide) directly, with your response to:
• Would your Council be able to contribute $10,000 towards the heat mapping and canopy cover work?
• Is Council, through the Mayor, willing to join Green Adelaide in signing an Adelaide National Park City Charter in late July?
• Who, from Council, can be part of a LG workshop to influence this Charter over the coming weeks? • With support of a suitable motion “template” (initial draft version enclosed) are you able to discuss
this in the Council Chamber?

This letter is both a summary of the forum of 3 June and also an update for the Mayors and Chief Executives who were unable to attend on the day. To keep the momentum going, I look forward to your responses to our questions. I have included a copy of the presentations used on the day as a reminder of the content.
I appreciate hearing back from you on the above matters, and equally I look forward to our next steps. Please contact Brenton Grear at Brenton.grear@sa.gov.au or 0428 823 622 with your thoughts on these questions.
Yours sincerely
Chris Daniels Presiding Member Green Adelaide Board
Enc. 1. Urban Heat & Canopy Cover Proposal 2. NPC motion template 3. Presentation – 3 June
repeat capture proposal April 2021
Project overview
Multiple existing projects undertaken by state and local government have mapped and analysed urban heat and canopy
cover across metropolitan Adelaide – using varying project extents and at varying times (see the overview page on the
Urban Heat and Tree Mapping Viewer for more detail).
Green Adelaide is seeking to build on these existing projects and lead a coordinated approach to recapture three key
datasets (described further below) in the summer of 2021/22 in collaboration with key partners. Doing so will, for the first
time, ensure contiguous datasets are available across the entire metropolitan Adelaide region and will establish a
framework for a coordinated recapture cycle for these datasets into the future. These datasets will form a monitoring
baseline and establish a point of truth on which to detect trends, as well as enable Green Adelaide and its partners to
make strategic evidence-based decisions to maximise the impact of our greening investments.
Thermal
imagery
Thermal imaging cameras mounted on a purpose built aircraft can be used to capture surface temperature. In
order to assess the distribution and impact of urban heat on the landscape during extreme heat events, thermal
imagery will be collected after two consecutive days with the average temperature greater than 33°C. Heat maps
generated from this data will identify thermal patterns in the landscape including heat islands and localised hot
spots, and can be combined with other datasets such as social vulnerability to identify communities most at risk
during extreme heat events.
LiDAR LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) can accurately map the landscape in three dimensions by measuring the time
taken for a laser pulse to travel from the airborne sensor, reflect from a surface, and return to the sensor. Data
products from LiDAR include a classified point cloud (points are classified into specific features including ground,
vegetation (low, medium and high), buildings, water etc.), digital terrain and surface models, canopy height and
foliage cover models and building footprints. These models in conjunction with thermal imagery can help explain
why urban heat islands exist in certain locations (i.e. lack of shade bearing trees of sufficient magnitude, significant
building footprint sizes).
Multispectral
imagery
Multispectral imagery is imagery that consists of at least four bands of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. red,
green, blue and near infrared). The inclusion of bands in the near infrared and short wave infrared provides
additional information on vegetation health and greenness, improves the identification and classification of
features, and allows for further analysis using remote sensing indices and analysis techniques.
The key partners that Green Adelaide is seeking to partner with include local government and state government agencies,
and we will also explore opportunities to partner with other organisations where appropriate. From a state government
perspective, these datasets will seek to inform progress against various plans and policies (e.g. Green Adelaide Regional
Landscape Plan, Climate Change Action Plan, 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide, Quality Green Open Spaces Action Plan),
as well as to better understand drivers of change, inform greening strategies and prioritise greening investment.
Local governments have significant experience in the capture and application of these datasets, having led the previous
capture of urban heat mapping through their respective Regional Climate Partnerships as well as the analysis of LiDAR
data to derive canopy cover. Councils have also used these datasets to inform and drive practical on-ground action, to
provide an evidence-base to support grant applications and as a communication product to engage the public and elected
members. Green Adelaide is therefore keen to partner with all metropolitan councils to deliver this recapture project, and
to achieve outcomes which benefit both the local and state government sectors.
This project proposal aims to seek partner involvement and outlines a cost-sharing model to fund the project. Each of the
sections below contain further details on the project (e.g. specifications, timing and costs).
Delivery model
Green Adelaide will provide a central project coordination role and liaise with project partners regarding the recapture
requirements. Green Adelaide will also contribute financially towards the project, in conjunction with other project
partners.
Department for Environment and Water (DEW) will provide technical expertise and coordinate the procurement of
remotely sensed products. They will also update data in the Urban Heat and Tree Mapping Viewer following delivery of
the data.
Other organisations and agencies will also be invited to partner on the project. Project partners will contribute
financially towards the project, resulting in cost-sharing benefits to all project partners. In return, partners will have an
opportunity to define the recapture requirements (e.g. specifications and data products) and will receive all imagery, data
products and reports that are produced as a result of this project. These data products will provide a common baseline for
all project partners. See ‘Project partners’ section below for more detail.
Data capture and specifications
Thermal imagery to map urban heat
LiDAR to map canopy cover
Four-band multispectral imagery to map vegetation greenness and green spaces
The table below summarises the proposed imagery specifications and data products, and has been based on those
produced through previous thermal and LiDAR projects, plus additional data products to indicate change since last data
capture. We will also work with project partners to incorporate any learnings and recommendations from previous urban
heat and LiDAR projects into this repeat capture. The specifications and a final package of data products will need to be
agreed on by all partners prior to approaching the market for a request for quote.
Two separate but concurrent tender processes will be undertaken – one for the thermal imagery, and another which
combines the LiDAR and multispectral imagery. The tenders will be separated in this way so as to not limit any potential
suppliers (fewer suppliers are able to capture thermal imagery) and to ensure the most appropriate supplier is selected for
each product. Furthermore, we hope that combining the LiDAR and multispectral imagery results in a more efficient data
capture process, which may in turn lead to cost savings for the project (i.e. by minimising flight mobilisation costs).
While there is some interest from partners in capturing hyperspectral imagery, this has been assessed as being cost-
prohibitive for this project.
