The Chief Executive of the Department for Trade and Investment is proposing to rezone 235 hectares of land across Hackham and Old Noarlunga to address an immediate need for further land supply and population growth in the south of Adelaide. The rezoning will facilitate a potential residential development of approximately 2000 new houses plus a retail centre in Hackham, as well as provide new policy to improve development on sloping land.
206.1 hectares of this land, located on Main South Road (between Hepenstal Road and Church Hill Road) in Hackham, is currently zoned as Rural. It is proposed that this land be rezoned to Master Planned Neighbourhood Zone, to allow for housing to be developed in a logical and sequential way.
In Old Noarlunga and Hackham, 15.2 hectares is currently zoned Employment and is proposed to be rezoned Master Planned Neighbourhood Zone.
13.7 hectares of land at Old Noarlunga —currently zoned Rural— is proposed to be rezoned Rural Neighbourhood Zone. This proposed change better aligns the zoning with the existing land uses in Old Noarlunga and is not intended to result in any changes to the area. In addition, a Minimum Site Area Technical and Numeric Variation of 2 hectares is proposed to prevent allotments being further subdivided, to ensure a clear separation between Old Noarlunga and the new development which is proposed to occur in Hackham.
A new concept plan is also being introduced to assist in addressing infrastructure requirements for land proposed to be rezoned Master Planned Neighbourhood Zone.
