Membership

There are three levels of Membership available:

Amplify Your Voice:

For just $10 a year, as an individual member you can become part of a powerful movement advocating for fair, transparent, and community-led planning in South Australia. Individual Members receive regular updates, early invitations to forums and events, and voting rights at our Annual General Meeting. Whether you’re concerned about overdevelopment, heritage loss, or the lack of local consultation, this is your opportunity to join a united voice for positive change – and help shape the future of your neighbourhood.

Individual Membership includes: Help us to advocate for real community engagement, connect with other Members (optional – your choice) and priority email access to us for assistance.

Community Backbone:

Is your local residents’ association, action group, or community network fighting to protect what matters in your area? Are you trying to form a group to voice your concerns? A Local Community Group Membership offers you recognition, visibility, and access to expert resources and support through our statewide alliance. With your $95 annual membership, your group joins a growing coalition working to put communities first in planning decisions – and gains a seat at the table when policies are debated and public voices need to be amplified.

Community Backbone Membership includes everything in the Individual Membership, plus a half-day Workshop (the documents can be downloaded for your reference if you are not ready for a workshop), easy access to relevant Government and legislative documents, CDA representation at meetings, and our ongoing assistance (if required).

In addition, we offer key reference documents to Members, including:
