Housing - More housing options are needed in South Australia. Small units and rental options should be available in the same way as traditional accommodation. Infrastructure planning must precede housing.

Transport planning - This often comes after the houses, which creates major viability problems. Integrated planning, based on social needs, environmental issues and urban development requirements, needs to be done in advance, incorporating a centralised authority that integrates all the parts of the system, including public transport, on a daily basis. The current Buckland Park proposal north of Adelaide is an example of bad planning, as it does not even cost all the infrastructure needed for the houses that are planned, of which transport is only one part.

Urban development - Population and economic growth must be balanced with the established cultural and social history of the area and with environmental needs. Urban boundaries are a critical element in maintaining public health and a healthy environment and in catering for long-term growth. Developments that compete with the environment, particularly in fire-prone areas, should be discouraged, and reversed if severely damaged by environmental events.

Energy - The first priority is to minimise energy use - e.g. insulation before air conditioning, etc.  Energy production should be decentralised where possible, as centralised energy incurs overheads, waste and loss in transmission that can be difficult to quantify and overlooked or not addressed in business plans.
