The Code Amendment by Creation Homes (SA) Pty Ltd rezoned 3.92 hectares of the existing Thaxted Park Golf Course land from the ‘Recreation Zone’ to the ‘General Neighbourhood Zone’. The Affected Area is located on land described as Lot 1002 Golf Course Drive, Woodcroft and occupies the south-western corner of the Thaxted Park Golf Course.

Rezoning the Affected Area to the ‘General Neighbourhood Zone’ creates a policy framework which is primarily intended to support low-rise (one and two storey) residential development set at predominantly low densities (with medium densities contemplated in areas closer to public open space, public transport stations and activity centres). The General Neighbourhood Zone also contemplates employment and community service uses which contribute to making the neighbourhood a convenient place to live, without compromising residential amenity. The zoning selected was the result of extensive investigations and is also consistent with the existing residential zoning over established residential areas to the south-west (opposite side of Panalatinga Road).

The balance of land (beyond the Affected Area) will continue to be used as a golf course and revenue generated by the sale of the Affected Area will be reinvested back into the Club to ensure its long-term viability. The majority of this land will remain within the ‘Recreation Zone’ and ‘Hills Face Zone’ which provides an appropriate policy framework that is conducive to the ongoing use of the land as a golf course.
