"During your time on Council, you undoubtedly played an important part in Adelaide's continued growth and prosperity, contributing to its recognition as one of the world's most liveable cities. Your passion, energy, effort and professionalism certainly raised the reputation of Council in the eyes of our community which manifest in the high respect in which you are held." - The Right Honourable Lord Mayor of Adelaide (2018-2022) Sandy Verschoor - Letter dated 7th December 2018

"I can honestly say you are the first Lord Mayor to inspire me and instil in me a sense of pride ... Today I am proud to wear the City of Adelaide coat of arms pin ... Beyond all your tangible achievements, I wish for you to know that you have been a positive role model to me and many of my colleagues."  - Name withheld, member of staff, Adelaide City Council

"Your contribution and passion towards the City of Adelaide is significant. Your leadership has enhanced the brand and reputation of Adelaide as a clean, green, sustainable and liveable city that is both a great place to live and conduct business. The City of Adelaide has championed sustainability and aspires to be the world's first carbon neutral city and enhance the business opportunities that relate to this objective. The 10 Gigabit Adelaide fast fibre optic network in partnership with TPG greatly enhances the competitive advantage for local Adelaide businesses and attracts businesses from interstate and around the globe. The bold decision to acquire the former Le Cornu site at 88 O'Connell Street will no doubt change the face of North Adelaide for decades to come. You depart the role of the Lord Mayor of Adelaide ... with a noble legacy of a city that is stronger due to your committed leadership and community engagement."  - The Honourable David Ridgway MLC, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment (2018-2022) - Letter dated 18th October 2018
