Annual Business Plan 2021-22

The consultation for the Annual Business Plan has concluded. Thank you to all for your feedback.

This consultation is now complete.

Council adopted the Annual Business Plan 2021-22 at its Ordinary Meeting on 22 June 2021. A Summary Brochure of the Annual Business Plan which will be sent to all Ratepayers with their July rates notice.

We thank our 85 participants who provided feedback on the Draft Annual Business Plan. Feedback was used to inform the final plan presented to and discussed by Council on Tuesday 8 June 2021.

All feedback from the community was collated and summarised in the Community Engagement Outcomes Report and can be viewed in the document library on the right. Included in Appendix B of this report are responses to some of the written feedback items we received during the process.

The full report presented to Council including the community consultation report can be found in the 210608 Special Council Meeting Agenda - Public.pdf (ahc.sa.gov.au) .

After reviewing community feedback, Council implemented the following changes to the Draft Annual Business Plan 2021-22:

• Inclusion of a $50 contribution regime for European Wasp nest removal
• Removal of two strategic initiatives that related to ongoing wages of staff members that were already incorporated into the budget (B4008 – Combined maintenance team and E1001 – economic development officer)
• Inclusion of a new initiative under Economy Goal to “Undertake an expression of interest process for ascertaining the level of interest and viability of ‘free’-camping sites in the district”
• Inclusion of a “rate in the dollar” table to assist in demonstrating how rates are calculated
• Minor edits to help improve reader understanding

Council also requested that increased expenditure on the footpath program be considered in the next Long Term Financial Plan.

Every year, Council develops an annual business plan that details the programs, projects and services we deliver to our community and how these will be funded. Our Draft Annual Business Plan 2021-22 outlines how we propose to allocate resources to achieve the community-supported goals set in our Strategic Plan 2020-24 – A Brighter Future , which was developed in close consultation with our community.

Our focus in 2021-22 is on supporting the Adelaide Hills community, environment and economy to recover and strengthen through the challenges we continue to face from bushfires and COVID-19. Additional focus and investment on tree management will help us manage the ongoing risks a nd requests across our large and diverse region.

The plan and budget aligns with our Long Term Financial Plan, Strategic Plan and Asset Management Plans each of which are consulted on with the community prior to their adoption.

Our budget maintains a sustainable path despite the continuing challenges of bushfires and COVID-19. Our success in securing grant funding as well as funding from different tiers of Government to drive economic development, recovery support and investment in our community, has provided us with a higher than normal operating surplus this year. Successful Grants include one for further development to the FABRIK Arts and Heritage Hub at Lobethal, and one for various development projects under the “Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program”.

Rate revenue accounts for approximately 80% of Council's operating income and rates are calculated on the capital value of properties. These valuations are undertaken by the Office of the Valuer-General. The Valuer General has recently completed a revaluation exercise of properties in the Adelaide Hills Council area. This is likely to result in many rate assessments experiencing a change in rates payable higher or lower than the average rate increase proposed.

Council has modified the rate capping strategy to try to lessen the impact of the revaluations on residents. Further details of this are here .

The draft budget for 2021-22 is based on a rate increase of 2.5% and estimated growth of 1.0%. For an average value residential property, this equates to an annual increase of approximately $50. Rate increases may vary from the average where there has been new development, capital improvements or other significant change to the value of the property.

The full Draft Annual Business Plan 2021-22 can be accessed in the document library on the right or viewed at any of Council’s Libraries and Service Centres. Alternatively, you can request a copy by email at [email protected] or by phone on 8408 0400.

Draft 2023/24 Business Plan and Budget

Consultation has concluded. 

Each year the City of Adelaide develops a Business Plan and Budget to help shape the City of Adelaide. Our Draft 2023/24 Business Plan and Budget is our key operational and financial planning document and sets our priorities, programs, services and projects for the future year.

Post-COVID-19 budget repair and upgrades to City infrastructure are the focus of $268 million in expenditure to support future sustainability and City pride.

On 27 June Council adopted its Business Plan & Budget (BP&B) 2023/24 with some amendments that followed an extensive consultation process with the community. After taking community feedback into consideration, the changes now include:

• Upgrades to Light Square Electrical Infrastructure at an estimated cost of $400,000
• Amending Park Lands event fees from 1 October to reflect a reduction to 2020 fee levels
• A commitment to continuing to work with ACSARA on its proposed facility within Golden Wattle Park / Mirnu Wirra (Park 21W) and developing policy options for Park Lands buildings for the provision of fit for purpose facilities including toilets, changerooms and storage.
• Further detail on the timing and cost of upgrades for Gouger Street, Hutt Street, Hindley Street, O’Connell Street and Melbourne Street.

We heard from the community that things like the Park Lands, parking, community sports infrastructure, safety, transport, outdoor dining, city vibrancy and tackling climate change were important. Approximately 63% of our general surveys received supported some or all of the priorities identified for 2023/24. A summary of our consultation can be found online here .

The Lord Mayor thanks our community for the feedback and interest. "After seeking feedback from our ratepayers over last month, the Council has now formally adopted its Business Plan and Budget for 2023/24,” said the Lord Mayor. “ As Lord Mayor, I want our city to operate with ambition, audacity, and vision but this cannot happen until we sort out the basics, such as work on our footpaths, roads, and parks. Ratepayers expect it from us, and this budget will help deliver on that.”

Over the next 12 months Council will prioritise key activities that focus on:  Capital City Leadership; Community; Culture and Activation; Economy; Environment; and Infrastructure.

Post-COVID-19 budget repair and upgrades to city infrastructure remain the centrepieces of the plan. The finalised budget delivers $268 million in expenditure with highlights including: 

• More than $100 million invested in Capital Works including more than $50 million in public infrastructure renewals in 2023/24.
• A $1.9 million operating surplus through a continued focus on responsible financial management.
• Savings of more than $400,000 in 2023/24 in addition to $4.8 million in savings in 2022/23 made possible through closely reviewing ongoing operating activities.
• More than $43 million invested in waste management, cleansing, horticulture and Park Lands.
• Delivering over $8m in project construction and improvements on City streets including Currie, Field, Hutt, Melbourne, Pitt, Sturt, Ward and West Pallant Streets and James Place, Kingston Terrace, North Terrace and Whitmore Square
• Delivering over $6m project construction and improvements to the Park Lands including Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi, Bonython Park / Tulya Wardli, Rymill Park / Murlawirrapurka and Mary Lee Park
• Investing over $15m in community centres and programs, libraries and events and activations
• Expanding and improving the Adelaide free Wi-Fi network
• Increasing greenery in City Streets and Parks
• Undertaking cultural mapping of the Park Lands alongside Reconciliation events and initiatives
• Delivering events such as New Years Eve and ANZAC Day and activations across the East and West End, Gouger Street and North Adelaide
• Supporting community development, public art, sporting clubs and events and activations through a range of sponsorship and grants
• Launching a new trainee and apprenticeship program

Council will continue to welcome visitors back to our City, create a vibrant, culturally diverse community, drive economic growth for our businesses, protect and celebrate our Park Lands, improve our infrastructure for all to enjoy and show leadership through partnerships and by being financially sustainable.

Moscow-City – The Moscow International Business Center

• 3 years ago

Moscow-City is an iconic location for life and work in Russia’s capital. Enormous skyscrapers, business centers, the best restaurants and retail spaces – all this is concentrated in one place. The ultramodern Moscow-City towers are truly striking in their outward appearance, and the layout of the apartments inside and the fantastic views that can be seen from the higher floors are nothing short of impressive.

This skyscraper compound, often referred to as Moskva-City, is the Russian take on Manhattan, where businessmen strike multi-million dollar deals daily while ordinary life goes on next door. Its state of the art spaces offer the ultimate convenience. The infrastructure of this business district is so well-developed that anyone can find something interesting for themselves here: from residential apartments to boutiques, clubs, exhibitions and more.

When the foundations for the Moscow-City skyscrapers were laid, a special kind of concrete was used, the properties of which are amplified by many times compared to standard concrete. Even in the event of a plane crashing into one of the buildings, the structural integrity of the towers will be preserved.

The architects of the Moscow-City Business Center have created a unique locality that has integrated into itself the hub of the capital’s business life and a whole ensemble of historical monuments. Anyone can admire the beauty of these skyscrapers from within or without the compound. There are also a number of apartments for sale or rent available in the MIBC itself. But first, let’s have a look at some more interesting facts about the financial core of Russia’s capital.

• 1 How It All Began
• 2.1 Moscow-City Central Core
• 2.2 Tower 2000
• 2.3 Evolution Tower
• 2.4 Imperia Tower
• 2.5 Moscow Tower and St. Petersburg Tower

• 2.9 OKO Tower Complex
• 3.1 Afimall City Shopping Center
• 3.2 Bagration Bridge
• 3.3 Expocentre Fairgrounds
• 4 Renting and Buying Real Estate in Moscow-City

How It All Began

The history of Moscow-City goes all the way back to 1992. The government of Moscow at the time wanted to bring into existence its own skyscrapers like the ones in London or New York. And the idea caught on. In 1992 the project for the construction of the huge “Moscow-City” MIBC compound was enthusiastically approved, kick-starting the painstaking preparatory works. The original intention was that the skyscrapers would only house office space. However, as time went on, the towers began to welcome in ordinary residents who wanted to live on the territory of this business and finance hub.

Moscow-City is undoubtedly a city within a city. Its grandeur is mind-boggling. It is perfect in every way: from location to infrastructure. And today, anyone can get a feel of the atmosphere of the “capital city” of Russia’s business world – many of the apartments in Moscow-City are available for rent. Any citizen of Russia and even nationals of other countries can make use of these offers.

What It’s Like in 2021

Today Moscow-City is not just a magnificent and fascinating sight, but also a real hub for the work, life and leisure of thousands. Its infrastructure is organized in such a way that there is no need to leave the territory of the “city within a city” at all. This business district contains everything one may need for work and recreation. And if one does decide to venture out into the larger metropolis, the MIBC’s three subway stations make this remarkably simple to do.

Moscow-City stands on the Presnenskaya Embankment . Each of the buildings in the district has a name, which simplifies its identification. Some of the buildings form complexes that are united under one name, such as the Neva Towers and the Naberezhnaya Tower complex of two skyscrapers and one high rise. There are a total of 16 towers in the MIBC, of which the most popular are:

• Moscow-City Central Core;
• Tower 2000;
• Evolution Tower;
• Imperia Tower;
• City of Capitals (Moscow Tower and St. Petersburg Tower);
• Steel Peak Tower;
• Federation Tower;
• Mercury City Tower;
• OKO Tower Complex.

Moscow-City Central Core

This is the most complex building within the MIBC compound. Its total floor area is a whopping 1 476 378 sqft (450 000 m²). It consists of two massive parts, each of which boasts a truly impressive infrastructure. The underground part includes 3 Moscow Metro stations, a parking lot for automobiles and a shopping mall. The aboveground part houses a concert hall and a hotel.

Tower 2000 is a skyscraper having 34 stories. Its total floor area is 200 318 sqft (61 057 m²), most of which is office space. The key feature of this skyscraper is its direct connection to the Bagration Bridge, which has its own shopping arcade. The tower has everything one may need while working here, including a large parking lot and several restaurants.

Evolution Tower

This elegant structure is 836 feet (255 m) high – that’s a whole 54 stories! The total floor area here is 554 462 sqft (169 000 m²). The Evolution Tower’s key feature is that it has its own Wedding Hall. This skyscraper houses large office spaces, a parking lot and several restaurants.

Imperia Tower

MIBC’s Imperia Tower is the undeniable focal point of the MIBC’s business life. Its height is 784 feet (239 m), which means one can hold conferences and resolve key business matters on the 59 th floor! And that really is amazing! The tower has everything: offices, hotels, restaurants and parking lots. But if you want a truly unforgettable experience, visit the viewing platform! It is situated on the 58 th floor and a simply astounding view of Moscow can be seen from it.

Moscow Tower and St. Petersburg Tower

The Moscow and St. Petersburg Towers are the chief representatives of the MIBC. The Moscow Tower has 76 stories and is 990 feet (302 m) high, while the St. Petersburg Tower has 65 stories and stands 843 feet (257 m) tall. Both towers offer fantastic views of the capital city.

Most of the floors of these two skyscrapers are taken up by luxurious sky apartments. There are also several recreational and entertainment centers, office spaces, restaurants, etc.

Steel Peak Tower

Also known as the Eurasia Tower of Moscow-City, this supertall skyscraper has a total of 680 912 sqft (207 542 m²) of floor space. Most of this is taken up by offices, and the rest – by residential quarters (around 65 616 sqft or 20 000 m²). The tower also houses a number of the greatest restaurants, studios and shopping centers.

Federation Tower

The Federation Tower is a complex of two skyscrapers, known as Tower East and Tower West. Tower East is the second highest building in Europe (the first is a skyscraper recently erected in the city of St. Petersburg). Its height is a colossal 1 223 feet (373 m) and that makes 95 stories! Tower West, on the other hand, is noticeably shorter at 794 feet (242 m).

The Federation Tower is a multifunctional complex.

Mercury City Tower

The Mercury City Tower skyscraper is widely known as one of the tallest buildings in Europe. Its height is 1 112 feet (339 m) and it has 75 stories. It is multifunctional by concept, holding within its walls shopping centers, offices and all kinds of other spaces. It is also possible to rent apartments here.

OKO Tower Complex

The OKO Tower Complex consists of two towers – the North Tower (49 stories and 803 ft or 245 m in height) and the South Tower (85 stories and 1 155 ft or 352 m in height).

Each of the MIBC’s tower complexes has its own recreational and entertainment areas, restaurants and parking lots. The top floors of most of these buildings contain luxurious fully-furnished apartments. At night, the towers shine with bright lights, while inside them the panoramic windows reveal astounding views of Moscow. This breathtaking view of the capital of Russia is why visiting Moscow-City is a must!

What Not to Miss

There are many interesting landmarks within the Moscow-City compound, but three of them are truly deserving of special attention:

• The Afimall City Shopping Center;
• The Bagration Bridge with two galleries and a shopping arcade;
• The Expocentre Fairgrounds.

Afimall City Shopping Center

The Afimall City Shopping and Entertainment Center is located in Moscow-City’s Central Core. It is divided into 4 zones, each with its own theme – one for every season of the year. The shopping center houses the biggest indoor fountain found worldwide. The height of this watery wonder is 118 feet or 36 meters.

The shopping and entertainment center contains everything one might expect from one of the largest centers of its kind:

• Retail brand stores;
• Exhibitions;
• Game rooms;
• and Restaurants.

The main recreational space is roofed with a giant transparent dome, which is an impressive sight to behold.

Bagration Bridge

Bagration Bridge with its upper and lower galleries has a shopping center all of its own and was the first structure to be built as part of the Moscow-City business district. Its lower gallery is a shopping arcade and its upper gallery is an open-air viewing platform with a spectacular view of the MIBC and the Moskva River. The hall of the bridge houses the 23 foot tall sculpture called “Tree of Life”.
