A key platform for engagement is UFX events. We deliver a range of public and members only events.
Future Living Code Amendment- UFX Member Conversations
The Future Living Code Amendment has now been released for consultation- so let’s talk about it!
The State Government describes the Code Amendment as:
“[introducing] a new form of housing that allows more homes to be built in established residential suburbs, without impacting the existing character, heritage and streetscape. It encourages existing houses to be retained, altered and extended to create co-located housing, rather than demolished and the site subdivided for multiple homes.”
But the Code Amendment only applies to selected areas- should it? What sort of policies should be applied when assessing a development like this?
Join us for after-work drinks to discuss this Code Amendment and how to implement the concept of co-living.
Urban Greening Strategy Implementation Workshop
Green Adelaide has now released the Draft Urban Greening Strategy. Having held several events about how we can push for a greener city, it is now time to continue driving this conversation forward to discuss implementation of this strategy.
How can Green Adelaide ensure that the strategy can be implemented?
How can UFX contribute to the implementation of the strategy?
Join us and participate in this roundtable conversation to build a greener Adelaide, and stay for a friendly drink afterwards!

Living South Australia: How could we work, study, move & live post Covid-19?
Covid-19 has changed the way we look at how and where we work, study, move and live.
We know that we are working and studying from home more than ever and our relationships with our places of work and education have changed. We also know that there is less activity in the CBD. During the peak of the crisis, our movement behavious and patterns also changed.
As we emerge from the crisis, the questions we must ask are:
1. How much of this change is temporary and how much will become the ‘new normal’?
2. How will this change influence how we plan, develop, activate and manage our cities and regions in the future?
3. How can we learn from the experience and use it to our advantage?
In December 2020 the AIUS SA released a survey; Post Covid-19: How will we work, study, move and live?
The AIUS SA will be exploring the survey results and these questions in more detail at our event on 18 May 2021.

Ambition vs. reality for a Green(er) Adelaide
Green Adelaide is the new organisation aiming to deliver a “cooler, greener, wilder and climate-resilient metropolitan Adelaide”, and they’ve just released their first 5-year strategic plan.
But will it work?
Urban greening is far more complex than planting a few trees. Households, businesses, builders, landscape architects, planners, utility companies, local governments, and many more have an impact on how green we can be. And the barriers and pathways to a greener city may surprise you.
At this event, we will interrogate the realities of what is required to green our city, and whether Green Adelaide has the right settings to achieve its grand ambitions.
Infrastructure SA Capital Intentions Statement Briefing
The Capital Intentions Statement (CIS) is a five-year rolling annual plan that identifies specific major projects or programs (generally over $50 million) to be undertaken as a priority in South Australia. The CIS is designed to assist the State Government to prioritise infrastructure and efficiently allocate capital through the budget process. It does not include projects that are already funded in the Budget.
Published in March 2021, the latest CIS recommends three projects for investment decision by the State Government and a further 13 projects for business case development.
Infrastructure SA Chief Executive Jeremy Conway will provide a briefing on the CIS to AIUS SA Members
