Share Could we please install parking meters on Rose terrace next to the Adelaide Showground and draw parking lines so we can generate income from cars parked in this area on weekdays and weekends? (Just like Adelaide council does?) There are no cars parked there early Saturday morning or weekday evenings so those cars parking on this street on weekends and weekday during daytime are not the residents of the area so I am pretty sure residents will welcome the idea or parking meters being installed here to make our council rich. Well I am one of those who lives on this street and wonder why council is not giving out fines to people who are parked illegally (blocking people’s driveways) in this area during non-office hours when the income from it will surely help council’s budget!

Thank you for your enquiry regarding parking controls and parking enforcement in Rose Terrace, Wayville.
We appreciate your feedback and want to provide you with the following information and options:
- There are sections along Rose Terrace and Cooke Terrace that are pay for use parking, with the remainder of the street a combination of 2 hour (9am-5pm, Mon-Fri) and No Parking (7-8.15am, Mon-Fri). These controls were installed to provide a balance between catering for residents and their visitors (2-hour control), and business staff (No Parking control to stop commuter parking).
- For Council to consider reviewing parking controls in your street, please lodge an online application here: https://www.unley.sa.gov.au/apply-to-change-parking-restrictions
  Noting at this time, Council would not consider expanding the pay for use parking along Rose Terrace.
- If you are having issues with illegal parking, either over your driveway or vehicles overstaying time limits, please contact our Regulatory Services team on 8372 5111, and an officer will attend and take the required action.
- Should you have any other issues or questions related to parking controls or parking enforcement, please contact Council directly either via phone (8372 5111) or email (pobox1@unley.sa.gov.au).
Kind regards

Share Would it be the remit of the council to change the parking rules on Greenhill Rd? It’s becoming increasingly busy along Greenhill Rd that the current parking allowances on weekends and after work hours is now a significant hazard to driving along Greenhill Rd at any time. There are plenty of side streets for short stay and all businesses along the road seem to have dedicated parking areas. The left hand lane should be a clear way at all times, especially given the road’s popularity with cyclists. on Facebook Share Would it be the remit of the council to change the parking rules on Greenhill Rd?

Hello, thank you for your question.
Greenhill Road is a main arterial road and is therefore under the primary care and management of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT). As such, they approve and manage the installation of the Clearways times. Currently, these times are 7am to 10am and 3pm to 7pm, Monday to Friday, and are designed to improve traffic flow during peak periods while also accommodating a part-time bicycle lane. If you have any concerns regarding these times, we encourage you to contact DIT directly: https://www.dit.sa.gov.au/contact_us
Outside of the Clearway times, DIT has agreements with councils to manage and enforce any parking controls on their roads (including Greenhill Road).
At the City of Unley, the administration team supports parking to facilitate visitor access to local businesses and to encourage participation in Park Lands activities. Requests for Council to consider changing timed parking can be submitted though the Councils Parking Request Form. The form is available online and in pdf format: https://www.unley.sa.gov.au/apply-to-change-parking-restrictions

Share I request the Unley council management to provide at least one public EV charging supply in the area of Unley shopping centre and surroundings. It is the growing need of the community to have access to free charging stations in the popular spots. We often choose to go to Burnside shopping centre to shop and charge our cars. Unley council needs to be the active contributor towards the sustainable future. We will look forward to see some efficient actions in the direction of sustainability from our reputed Unley council.

Thank you for your interest in EV charging in the City of Unley. We have one publicly available EV charging station at Heywood Park that is free for users to charge.
Recently at its May 2024 Meeting, Council made the decision to not pursue the installation of more EV charging stations in the City of Unley any further at this point in time.
However, if you’d like to place a suggestion for the Unley Shopping Centre management team to consider installing a station for their customers, please visit their website at https://www.unleyshoppingcentre.com.au/contact

What is the policy on tall native trees and bird life?

Paul53 asked 11 months ago

Hello, thank you for your question.
The City of Unley has several strategies and policies aimed at conserving and recognising the benefits tall trees provide our community, such as providing shade and homes for birds and other fauna.
These policies and strategies include the City of Unley Environmental Policy which aims to protect and enhance our environment, as well as the Urban Tree Strategy which sets out how we manage our trees to ensure that the City remains leafy for future generations.
Understorey planting is key to increasing the variety of birds within our city and we have a Greening Verges initiative to support understory planting: https://www.unley.sa.gov.au/Environmental-Sustainability/Greening-Unley
Here is also a link to some of the large trees you may find around our City: https://www.unley.sa.gov.au/Environmental-Sustainability/Trees/Large-tree-factsheets
And ways we further support our wildlife: https://www.unley.sa.gov.au/Environmental-Sustainability/Greening-Unley#section-4

Share Good morning On behalf of the dog walkers of Unley, please provide information about where we will find parks where we can walk our dogs off-leash during the six months that Unley Oval will be off-limit. As explained in my submission to the dog management review, Unley Oval is a nexus for community interaction, especially during Spring and Summer. We lose so many hours to Sturt training sessions during the year, the longer Daylight Saving days provide perfect opportunities for dogs and their owners to meet and enjoy opportunities for walking, recreation and other physical activity, aligned with the City of Unley Active Ageing Strategy. I hope to see notification of different places for off-lead dog walking in Unley near the Oval and shared through social media.

Dear Karen, thank you for your enquiry.
Council has dedicated a webpage to provide information to residents and members of the public regarding the Unley Oval upgrade works. The webpage can be found here https://www.unley.sa.gov.au/unley-oval-upgrades
One of the FAQs on that page provides a link to Council’s dog exercise areas, including those with provisions for off-leash, at https://www.unley.sa.gov.au/Dog-exercise-areas
Council appreciates how important Unley Oval is to dog owners and is doing what it can to ensure the works are completed as expediently as possible.
We also appreciate the inconveniences that the upgrade works will cause dog owners and all users of the Oval and acknowledge there will be some short-term pain for a much better outcome.
Thank you again and we appreciate your patience during the undertaking of the works at the Oval.
