New Strategic Tree Plan for Unley

See “The Advertiser” article reporting on the the City of Unley investing in a new strategic tree canopy plan where more than 14,000 tree are to be planted over the next 5 years. The Plan was approved by elected members at Monday 25 March 2019 Council meeting.

Revised Society Rules

Over the past year, the Friends of the City of Unley Society (FOCUS) committee has been in the process of developing a revised set of constitutional rules for our incorporated association. Members may remember at the 2018 AGM a draft set of rules was shared with the members present. Feedback from the night and from the membership has been incorporated into a document and has the approval of the committee to be shared to  members, as the draft. The intent is to formally present the document for approval by members at the next general meeting of FOCUS, as required under the current association rules. FOCUS-rules-Jan2019 are the draft rules, approved by the committee, for member consideration.

Civic Precinct Development Working Group

As you may be aware the City of Unley is establishing a Civic Precinct Development Working Group, http://www.unley.sa.gov.au/unley-news/november-2017/expression-of-interest-%E2%80%93-civic-precinct-working-gr. Nominations are open until 1 December (http://www.unley.sa.gov.au/forms/civic-precinct-working-group-expression-of-interes).

 

This working party will look at and report to Council on options for the Civic Precinct, an area bounded by Unley Rd, Edmund Ave, Rugby St and Oxford St. This is the area inclusive of St Augustine’s Church, Halls and presbytery, Unley Town Hall, Civic Centre and library and the Unley Village Green (the villas and associated grassed areas). 

 

A ‘sister’ community based organisation (SOS Unley Village Green Inc) has created an online survey to gain opinions and insights into what the residents wish to see or not see for the this area. The survey can be found at, https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/unleyvillagegreen.
