23rd Annual General Meeting
Guest speaker, Cr Sandy Wilkinson gave a passionate heritage presentation before a packed house at the 23rd Annual General Meeting held recently at the Public Schools Club.
Brought to our attention was the painted building to left of the Queen of Tarts which got omitted through the Local Heritage DPA process regrettably, even though the Queen of Tarts building is listed. This is just one example. Cr Wilkinson would love to see icons such as Ideal Shoes at 174 Hutt Street which has been in continuous operation since 1940 brought back to its former glory.
Chairman Gary Locke spoke about past achievements and plans for the coming year. These include a new subcommittee which will continue to develop strategies to promote benefits of membership to residents and businesses, the link with Homeless and a greater involvement with Walk a Mile in My Shoes, an entrance sign to the Precinct at the south end of Hutt Street, the success of SALA and the continuation of the Christmas in the City Promotion of Hutt Street.
Gary said, "Last year we had Santa and elves walking around the street tying red bows on the trees, choirs singing in cafes and thanks to Adelaide City Council this will continue."

Victoria Square - you've had your say!
10 key Adelaide CBD Precinct groups united with a common goal to effectively work with Adelaide City Council in their quest to investigate and plan upgrade options for Vic Square/ Tarndanyangga. 18.2% of participants were from the Hutt Street Precinct.
Here are some of the findings:
74.5% would visit markets and stalls.
72.7% said they would attend a concert/event.
74.5% supported intermittent Grote/Wakefield lane closures for special events.
80% supported the concept of a roundabout style traffic flow.
81.8% was generally supportive of the design progress to date.
Comments on the traffic flow included:
"Business is affected negatively for every road closure and people opt to shop out of the city each time this occurs........"
"Increase car parking in the city and around the city, increase the number of shuttle buses so people can easily get to Vic Square........."
"
The design has taken all ideas into consideration and is multifunctional. I am sure VS will blossom, it is economically viable and will further enhance the lifestyle of the CBD."
74.5% respondents were in business or trading.
23.6% were land/property owners.
23.6% were Adelaide residents.
