Code Amendment ID: 10041 John Rice Avenue, Elizabeth South Residential

The South Australian Government has released for consultation the draft John Rice Avenue Elizabeth South Residential Code Amendment.

The draft Code Amendment proposes to rezone a 12.1 ha parcel of land in the City of Playford to enable the site to be developed for medium density housing in the future.

The Affected Area includes 9.1 ha owned by Renewal SA and approximately 3 ha of adjacent land owned by the City of Playford, which is included in the draft Code Amendment to consider how it could be best utilised to support a new residential community.

The Affected Area is currently zoned Employment and General Neighbourhood. The Employment zoning on the majority of the site is long-standing, but the land has never been developed for commercial or industrial purposes and remains vacant.

The draft Code Amendment proposes:

• to rezone the entire Affected Area to ‘Master Planned Neighbourhood’, which seeks to facilitate a diverse range of housing with a wide range of complementary recreational, community services and other activities

• to extend the Affordable Housing Overlay, incorporate the Noise and Air Emissions Overlay and apply a Concept Plan over the Affected Area

• to expand the Urban Tree Canopy Overlay across the entire site and remove the Stormwater Management Overlay from parcels within the proposed Master Planned Neighbourhood Zone (as not applicable to this Zone).
