Code Amendment ID: 10080 McEvoy Road, Virginia

The Proponent (T & J Viney Property Pty Ltd) is seeking to rezone a single allotment at McEvoy Road, Virginia from Deferred Urban to Master Planned Township Zone. The Affected Area is a vacant site with an area of 10.30 hectares and is more accurately described as Lot 22 in Filed Plan 114583. The Affected Area is a triangular shaped allotment bordered by Port Wakefield Road to the south-west and McEvoy Road to the north and a large vacant allotment to the east.

The Affected Area was identified in the previous Playford Growth Areas Structure Plan, December 2013 as being appropriate for residential type land uses. A corresponding Playford Urban Growth Areas (Angle Vale, Playford North Extension and Virginia) and General Amendments Development Plan Amendment was undertaken by the (then) Minister for Planning. Final authorisation of this previous DPA and subsequent rezoning of individuals land was contingent on landowners agreeing and executing applicable Infrastructure Agreements and a corresponding Land Management Agreement. Due to extenuating circumstances at the time, the Proponent was not in a position to execute the Infrastructure Agreements and Land Management Agreements. As such, the Affected Area was not rezoned for residential purposes as expected. Rather, the DPA resulted in the land being zoned Deferred Urban. This zone does not facilitate development for residential purposes.

The Proponent has now executed the Infrastructure Agreements and Land Management Agreement. As such, the proposal seeks to rezone the allotment to the Master Planned Township Zone and apply the Emerging Township Activity Centre Subzone. This will result in the consistent application of Code policy within the locality.
