New Regional Plans for South Australia
As part of the Planning Reforms 2008 package, the Government will develop detailed new Regional Plans for all areas of the State.
The Regional Plans will include:
- A 30-year Plan for Adelaide, covering the Greater Adelaide area, from metropolitan Adelaide down to Victor Harbor in the south, up to the Barossa in the north, and across to Murray Bridge in the east. This area covers 26 councils
- Five Regional Plans for Country SA, including Master Plans for major regional cities and towns
All the Regional Plans will have:
- Specific regional targets for population and land supply (for both housing and employment)
- Targets and strategies for water and energy efficiency and for housing affordability
- Protected conservation and agriculture/horticulture areas, growth precincts, and land subject to further investigation
- Integrated transport planning, and
- Major infrastructure requirements identified for feeding into Government planning
All regions will play their part in the future growth and development of South Australia.
Further detail is contained in other sections of this website (see links above).
The Government will be announcing the process for developing the Regional Plans in the near future, which will be done collaboratively with local councils on a regional basis, with the public given the opportunity to comment on Draft Plans before they are finalised.
