This question relates to what people want or prioritise

This question relates to what things can be done

This question helps to define the theme and gives insight into the values of the community

This is a combination question and relates to what things can be done, prioritised and community values.

Connecting young people with heritage & listening to their ideas for the future. We need jobs and facilities to keep them here. They are our future.

Heritage needs to be a high priorty to preserve the built heritage and ongoing cultural heritage. Important for the Barossa Band to continue to remain unique and strong

The beautiful environment, landscape and heritage of the area.

Barossa world heritage listed - part of Mt Lofty bid

encourage heritage side of the Valley

Value our environment that is trees and landscape and historical structures and the views without 10 storey high Telstra poles in the middle of Lyndoch ruining the gateway of the Barossa views.

The fantastic views, conservation parks close by, trees, birds etc.

A heritage centre that brings together many of the collections and stories. An active place for interaction, creativity and continuing to strengthen the heritage aspects of the Barossa. Angaston station precinct could bring these things together as an active heritage centre for agriculture, German heritage, wine history and Barossa ingenuity

Bull doze ugly modern developments and plant vineyards and native vegetation. Get stricter planning to protect farmland and vineyards from development and also protect heritage buildings.

Preservation of the heritage and environment is better rather than increasing populations and further development which places added stress on infrastructure. Country living and landscape

Maintaining and promoting what we have - the fantastic views, conservation parks within short distances, trees, birds.

Put a cap on population growth

Maintaining the qualities about the Barossa that attracted us to living here in the first place - country lifestyle and open spaces. Scenery and peacefulness Heritage protection

Have three to five storey living spaces

Retain the essence of the Barossa but be real about the need to change and expand ie building higher structures ie apartments / units to accommodate more people The heritage

Plenty of trees in yards and on streets - shade trees especially.

Environmental awareness

Through better environmental practices such as planting endemic native plants and supporting local businesses. It will enhance quality of life, make it a beautiful place to live and continue the desired image of the Barossa (as shown in the recent Barossa advertisement on TV). These priorities will continue the pride that so many Barossans and I myelf have to be living in the Barossa. We need to make this a sustainable culture for future generations. Rural landscape Resurgance in local biodiversity

Retain the heritage & prevent urban sprawl

The trees from Angaston to EV are dying and no-one seems to care or is doing anything about it.

Ethics which were the focus of the early Barossa settlers and still continues today getting lost due to some indifferent attituted of some people Tree lined streets

Preserve space - no developmentHeritage is important for a peaceful, stress less and easy lifestyle Nuri is nice and flat and easy to walk.

Recycled storm ater to retain green landscapes

User friendly ideas to encourage the community to make, recycle and reuse their own products.

I am in a phase of my life that I place high priority on the environment that I live in; heritage is a major feature of the Barossa Nature

Heritage of the region sustained particularly in Tanunda, Lyndoch, Williamstown and Angaston

Plant more trees along streets and public places

i am new to the area so will help me understand the past history of the area and where my heritage has formed Natural beauty.

Wine hall of fame convering the history of wine Australia wide and people involved.

Plant native species

More nature in the towns would make the Barossa a more beautiful place for current residents and visitors. Trees are what makes a town nice, the homes in the new developments certainly aren't. Look at the most expensive neighbourhoods in Adelaide and it is the trees which make them grand. Its seasonal agrarian landscapes

A more conservation aware community with young innovative thinkers on these matters.

Increasing the size of current nature reserves and create new ones

Ensure planning and development decisions are heritage sensitive

Its just the most beautiful place to drive through - no matter what time of year not matter what time of day.

More street trees and better designed houses to withstand climate change

Promote a green environment - encourage solar, water saving, electricity saving, water wise plantings & get the community involved Heritage Trees along main strength

It is very picturesque and has a lovely country outlook

A heritage hub at the Angaston railway precint

The heritageNative trees that are more than 20 years old

VegetationMore opportunities to enjoy the natural environment

The history of wine making

Every town is self-sufficient in production and consumption of energy and water

Scenery, landscapes Trees so people can be out of the sunThe backdrop of the hills and general scenery of the Barossa Retention of its German heritageThe natural aspects, the hills, farms, rivers - we need more, most of the vegetation is limited to the side of the road

Small business country service excellence.

Thriving community, with strong jobs growth

Keeping youth in the Barossa for work; making the Barossa a desirable place to live.

More employment i believe makes a better living environment

Excellent wines and farm table produce

Enough retail variety to support the community

We need to protect the rural landscape and those who farm it and grow vineyards to keep the character and economy of the region strong.

Help small businesses get new ideas off the ground, cut read tape and costs. Food and wine

An All you can eat place like Cafe Primo.

Without agriculture and the wine industry there will be not tourism or economic growth. We don't need more people or ugly developments that look lik a suburb of Elizabeth in the Barossa.

Markets and pop-ups for local businesses to show their wares Wine and food

Excellent wines and farm to table produce

There has to be employment Better job opportunitiesSound regional economic based in close proximity to the city

Agriculture and premium food production, vineyards and premium wine production.

Increase the attractiveness as a tourism and investment destination Young people - future proofing Great for small businesses Development of tourismEmployment in the region for our youth. Skills and expertise remaining in the region will strengthen the region.

Encourage businesses to make family friendly places.

Used to be small business and enterprise - which is no longer

Major shopping developments in the Barossa

Currently, as a youth in the Barossa i feel that there is no future for me here. Jobs are scarce, especially for youth and the community is shockingly closed-minded.

Support the Community and Industry to work together to build its comparative advantage Food and wine

Better employment options - for young ones

Providing growth and well-being for myself, my business and the prosperity of my children as they mature into a digital world. Employment opportunities Vast variety of winemakers Coles or other shopping options

By having a strong sense of community backed by employment opportunities for people willing to work.

Continue the support of local businesses and keep the 'big companies' out. For example a Big W or similar businesses would hinder the Barossan image and put our local businesses in jeopardy. Food and wine More industry

The beating heart of the Australian wine industry

Awareness that little people can have little industries

Avoid big international businesses and keep small businesses flourishing

Consultation outside the region to best ensure more diverse partenrship in the community. Realise that the Barossa is part of SA not the entity on its own and for the economic develpoment. A bigger picture approach is required, particularly when you look at the other struggling areas such as the Gawler region also. Not too many fast food franchises

A sealed road from Gomersal to Lyndoch to bring Tourists to the town.

stop 10 storey high Telstra towers ruining the scenery Relatively crime free

Consistent planning regulations that protect the heritage but allow expansion and innovation.

Sport Hub is more suitable for Nuriootpa Warren Reservoir and cylcing and walking connectivity Close to Adelaide - good location A bigger shopping centre with cinema.

Eco environmental hub more suitable to Lyndoch and Williamstown. Play café A regional area providing services of the c

Country style developments not suburban style developments not the 30 year plan

By ensuring the Barossa has the infrastructure and services to make it an attractive place to live for a wide variety of people. Better signage for finding tourism operators Country feel but still close to the city A modern updated Hospital.

Hopefully to enjoy retirement in a few years in a place i have enjoyed living in for many years but will have all needs and help without having to move to another area to be catered for

Encourage business funding to set up a wicked family adventure park to draw in visitors and give kids more options Bike tracks

Better facilities for residents - especially libraries and parks.

Differentiate itself with larger blocks in developments leading to a better lifestyle. Build a new hospital ease of parking in shoping centres Affordable transport for aging

I think physical and social infrastrucutre are important points Improve park facilities Small populations and close communities

Not too much population growth that will spoil the country way of life and take away landscape views

Don't drive - needs help - social connection - Drs spots, or visit people - Transport important Build a dog park A fully equipped hospital like Lyall Mac

Smooth pavements no trip hazards for elderly and disabled people

Public transport infrastructure - trains and buses Public transport linking Barossa to Gawler

new hospital Bull doze ugly modern developments and plant vineyards and native vegetation.

A focus on developing and looking after the Barossa's assets.

Public transport - for aged residents and getting around Improve transport options

No ugly developments - demolish them and don't permit generic type housing

Pathways and walkways important especially for low vision and vision impaired. New hospital Bigger blocks Aged care facilities Public transport options Nothing too big or obnoxious If all running well, makes you happier being here Transport options and footpath issues Public transport

One of the biggest drawbacks of living in the Barossa is having to leave the region so often for everyday tasks. Much more is needed in all towns in terms of services, job opportunities, and retail.

Share the dollars to overcome the run down Council assets

Development of parks and playgrounds that are suitable for all ages

Narrowing and slowing down the main streets to 40kph would make the towns quieter and safer along with more crossing islands which could have further trees planted on them. Historic Gawler Street in Mt Barker is a good example of a nice street

Development of recreational and sporting spaces A dog park

Improving on the bike paths would also be a huge benefit. A track which bypasses Tanunda rather than going down the main street would make commuting between the towns much easier and give more options for weekend rides. Serious effort needs to be put into the bike tracks as the more cars we can get off of the roads the more pleasant the towns will become. More linking roads and sealed roads A community centreBy stopping the Council running the area down in the search for lowering expenditure

More attractions and range of activities for kids A dedicated youth spaceBetter sporting facilities Public transport networks Better footpaths near schools A community owned hospital

Theme Area 5 - Health & Wellbeing


Healthy body healthy mind Personally, I will work to ensure a good primary health care system in the Barossa. Easy access to quality medical and well being services is essential. Better co-ordination of existing services is needed.

A learning community that supports reading, learning, online connections, active aging and a health lifestyle.

I am a business owner in the health and wellbeing field so I think it is important for lifestyle and business quality.

Improved health options Active healthy connected community that works together across the region.

Health and wellbeing is very important Up to date health care

Aged care activities Dementia friendly regionMt P is isolated from opportunites for a health and productive lifestyle - small towns closing down because of generational change - baby boomers are forming the largest population.

more health services

Improve the quality of life for residents. health services

Communication and technology is essential for the Barossa to change and develop into a better place. For myself, these areas need improving the most.Health and community facilities provided by the council make the Barossa an enjoyable place to liveRegional Health and Well being for all especially families is so important for Local Government to get right. To focus of smaller areas within your region as well as the major area such as Nuri. Health and wellbeing is paramount and this can be done by addressing the social determinants of health with insightful programmes, targeted and well researched community needs.

I would like to work from my home in Eden Valley but can't because of poor internet availability Access to health and wellbeing facilities with a primary health care focus to help locals keep healthy locally. Also, enhanced and co-ordinated hospital-based care that ensures the maintenance of current levels of service (ie births, surgey etc) keeping accessibility within the barossa. Need better health care.
