The Greater Adelaide Regional Plan (GARP) is an important opportunity to shape a future that ensures all people have access to an accessible, affordable, and safe place to call home situated within a community that is welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to everyone. Diversity is a great strength of our communities, and it is essential we take every possible step to ensure everyone can participate equally in the social, cultural, and economic life of our society. This cannot be taken for granted; it requires proactive planning and intentional actions to ensure our neighbourhoods and communities are designed to maximise inclusion and opportunities for each person to take up active valued roles in their community. The GARP must set outcomes and targets to increase the supply of accessible housing and to only invest in community infrastructure that is inclusive and accessible for everyone. The GARP should also identify existing gaps in outcomes and commit to priority actions to overcome these. To ensure there is ongoing accountability for change, five-yearly independent evaluations should occur and be publicly reported.
