Our Vision
A smarter, safer, and more vibrant Adelaide.
Our city should be a place that draws people in- not pushes them away. Hamish MacLachlan envisions an Adelaide that’s full of life, opportunity, and pride. One where local voices are heard, streets feel safe, heritage buildings are restored, and council spending reflects real community needs.
Transparency
Clear communication. Accountable leadership.
Hamish believes Council decisions should never feel hidden or out of reach. Transparency builds trust and is earned through honesty, accessibility, and clarity. Hamish is committed to keeping the community informed and involved from budgets to development. Adelaide deserves leadership that listens and leads with openness. Let’s bring transparency back to the City Council.
Community Engagement
Hamish is committed to genuine connection with residents, workers, and business owners across the city. Through open conversations, community surveys, and public forums, he ensures local perspectives shape Council decisions. From the podcast What’s Your Voyage? to face-to-face chats, Hamish wants to hear what matters to you- because a thriving Adelaide starts with listening.
