(b) promote and assist in the maximisation of opportunities for the effective co-ordination of public and private resources to meet the key strategic requirements identified by the Committee, and recommend priorities for joint action by the State Government and the Adelaide City Council (within established budget processes and programs); and
(c) monitor the implementation of programs designed to promote the development of the City of Adelaide; and
(d) make provision for the publication (as appropriate) of key strategies, goals and commitments relevant to the development and growth of the City of Adelaide that have been agreed by the parties who are (or will be) required to undertake responsibility for their implementation or delivery; and
(e) collect, analyse and disseminate information about the economic, social, physical and environmental development of the City of Adelaide, with particular emphasis on assessing outcomes and identifying factors that will encourage or facilitate future development within the City of Adelaide; and
(f) take on other tasks incidental to the preceding paragraphs.
(2) The Committee must convene a forum ("the Capital City Forum") drawn from members of the City of Adelaide community determined by the Committee, and seek advice from, or share information with, the members of the forum.

(1) The Capital City Committee must prepare a Capital City Development Program for consideration by the State Government and the Adelaide City Council.
(2) The Committee may prepare or adopt other programs.
(3) A program prepared or adopted by the Committee—
(a) is subject to endorsement or adoption by the State Government and the Adelaide City Council (unless already so endorsed); and
(b) is to be taken to be an expression of policy that does not derogate from the ability or power of the State Government or the Adelaide City Council to act in any matter itself, and that does not affect rights or liabilities (whether of a substantive, procedural or other nature).
