The Designated Entity is proposing to rezone land colloquially known as ‘Yenlo Park’ from Rural Zone to Master Planned Neighbourhood Zone to enable low to medium density residential development to occur.
The Affected Area consists of a single allotment of 29 hectares that has been developed with a residence and associated rural outbuildings and sheds, with the balance of the Affected Area used for agricultural purposes. The Affected Area is bound to the east by Twartz Road, to the south by Redbanks Road, and to the west by disused railway line.
Land to the north and east of the Affected Area is zoned Master Planned Neighbourhood and was rezoned to allow for residential development as part of the Roseworthy Township Expansion Development Plan Amendment (DPA) in 2016. Land to the west of the disused railway line is zoned Rural and land to the south of Redbanks Road is zoned Rural Living.
The Affected Area was originally included in the Roseworthy Township Expansion DPA however it was removed from the scope of the DPA at the end of the rezoning process due to infrastructure agreements not being met within the prescribed timeframe. As a result, the Affected Area is the only pocket of rural-zoned land to the north of Redbanks Road, east of the disused railway line and west of Horrocks Highway that is not zoned Master Planned Neighbourhood.
The Code Amendment therefore seeks to rezone the Affected Area to reflect the zoning applied to surrounding land.
