New land supply dashboard supports improved housing supply and affordability
Published Monday, 25 March 2024
The Minister for Planning and Planning and Land Use Services have today launched the Land Supply Dashboard.
The public resource will provide detailed information about land availability, housing supply and urban development patterns across Greater Adelaide.
The Land Supply Dashboard will be the only interactive visual platform of its type in the country.
The Land Supply Dashboard aims to achieve a shared understanding of community, consumer and industry needs, ultimately leading to greater transparency, improved housing supply and affordability over time.
Currently focusing on the Greater Adelaide planning region, the dashboard incorporates existing land supply data and the latest land division and development application data.
The live and interactive tool displays current information on the availability of infrastructure such as water, sewer, and electricity to development ready lots.
It also features the latest up to date information on code amendments.
The user-friendly online platform is freely available, meaning the public will now be able to track development patterns and activity across Adelaide.
By the end of this year, it will be expanded to include more detailed development activity data across all towns and cities in South Australia, as well as other land supply types such as additional residential and employment land activities.
Information available through the dashboard will support the new Housing Infrastructure Planning and Development Unit to ensure land releases are closely monitored, and the state grows and develops in a sustainable way with appropriate infrastructure in place.
The Urban Development Institute of Australia identified the dashboard as a crucial tool and called for its development as part of their grow.reform.build proposal.
The dashboard is part of the South Australian Government’s Better Housing Future plan and complements the government’s commitment to release additional land for residential development.
Through the creation of this dashboard, the state government is providing an improved understanding of the amount and location of land available for housing construction.
