Code Amendment ID: Local_Design_Review_Code_Amendment Local Design Review Code Amendment

The Local Design Review Code Amendment has been adopted by the Minister for Planning and Local Government. This Amendment gives effect to the Local Design Review Scheme, which provides a consistent state-wide approach for councils to establish their own Design Review panels for local development proposals.

During the six-week consultation period 14 submissions were received. As a result, the proposed Amendment was updated to improve early proponent access to Local Design Review, reduce administration by council staff and improve customer service. This demonstrates the Community Engagement Charter in action and how South Australians have helped to influence better outcomes for our state.

The Engagement Report is available below and details the process and outcomes of the engagement, including a summary of the feedback received and how the proposed Amendment was updated.

The Amendment will come into effect when consolidated into the online Planning and Design Code, which will occur in early 2022.
