Future of Policy: The Future of the City

IPAA SA & Deloitte held an exclusive event as part of their new Future of Policy Series. This series will comprise of 3 interactive sessions where you will have the opportunity to hear from subject experts on policy matters facing South Australia.

For the first session ‘The Future of the City’ we took a deep dive into South Australia’s growing population. Net interstate migration is up, which means more people living in Australia are choosing to relocate to SA and call Adelaide home, with fewer people leaving SA to move interstate. The increase in remote working as a result of tech-enabled change has led to opportunities for the state and demonstrate that people can work nationally, or even globally, irrespective of location.

Aaron Hill, Deloitte Partner and Alison Lloydd-Wright, Executive Director – Population Strategy at the Department of the Premier & Cabinet discussed the new possibilities for the state that these changes have unlocked. We also heard from members of the ‘ForceForty’ group, talented under 40s from all around Australia, who were attracted to SA to set up a business and the reasons they chose Adelaide.

This event gave participants the opportunity to have their say in how we can build on this positive momentum and attract and retain more young people to secure Adelaide’s place as a globally competitive, mid-sized city.

Future sessions and topics to be announced soon.
