The main focus of this Book is the period from 1972 until 1993 when the City of Adelaide had its own system of planning and development control. The author, Michael Llewellyn-Smith, is in a unique position to provide insights into this time in the City's history as he was the City Planner from September 1974 until December 1981; a Commissioner of the City of Adelaide Planning Commission from March 1977 until December 1981, and the Town Clerk (Chief Executive Officer) of Adelaide from January 1982 until December 1993 when the separate system ceased.
Oral history interviews by the author with key people who influenced the development of the City provided valuable information about why the separate system came into effect in 1972, why it continued for twenty one years and why the relevant legislation, the City of Adelaide Development Control Act 1976, was repealed in 1993.
The Book reviews the relationship between the Adelaide City Council and the Provincial (later State) Government from the settlement of the Colony in 1836 and the importance of Colonel William Light's plan for the City.
It is significant that the Parliament established a joint Capital City Committee under the City of Adelaide Act 1998. This Committee continues an intergovernmental partnership between the Council and the State to develop the capital city through a unified strategic direction.
