Hackham Code Amendment approved

Changes brought in by the approval of the Hackham Code Amendment address an immediate need to accommodate future population and employment growth in the south of Adelaide.

The rezoned land will facilitate the development of a new master planned development of up to 2,000 new homes, an activity centre and associated new infrastructure, as well as provide new policy to guide development on sloping land.

The approved changes also contain policy guiding the appropriate transition in development to adjacent areas of natural or built form character such as the Onkaparinga River National Park and Old Noarlunga.

The South Australian community and stakeholders were invited to have their say and provide feedback on the proposed Code Amendment.

The Minister for Planning has approved the Hackham Code Amendment with changes taking into account the significant feedback received during community consultation.

Before development can occur, more detailed infrastructure planning will occur in consultation with landowners, the council and infrastructure and utility providers to ensure the new community is well serviced with appropriate infrastructure.
