Dunstan, on the other hand, had his own vision of the project. According to him Monarto was going to become "a new vision of Australian city" and was going to showcase best practice in social planning and family convenience. The town would not contain any dilapidated housing estates or standard housing. Instead it would contain palatial town-houses and other houses that were made for civil servants. The inner center would provide only leisurely cycle paths since the town should be small but beautiful, a "virgin city". To secure the economy, three industrial areas with focusing on light industry were to be established. The goal was to spread South Australia's industrial base around the state.
