Proposal to rezone land in Elizabeth South for residential development

The South Australian Government is proposing a Code Amendment to rezone a parcel of land in the City of Playford to enable the site to be developed for medium density housing.

The Affected Area is located south of John Rice Avenue, Elizabeth South, between Philip Highway and Commercial Road, opposite the Lionsgate Business Park (former Holden factory site).

The proposal would see 12.1 ha of vacant land (9.1 ha Employment zoned land owned by state government and 3 ha of council land zoned General Neighbourhood) rezoned to ‘Master Planned Neighbourhood’. This could accommodate a diverse range of housing and the potential forcomplementary recreational, community service and retail uses.

It is also proposed to extend the Affordable Housing Overlay, incorporate the Noise and Air Emissions Overlay and apply a Concept Plan over the Affected Area. Additionally, The Urban Tree Canopy Overlay is proposed to be expanded across the entire site.

In developing the draft Code Amendment, investigations have been undertaken to understand infrastructure requirements associated with the proposed use, including noise analysis and traffic network implications. Existing surrounding social infrastructure, Aboriginal cultural heritage, potential contamination issues and airfield implications have also been considered.

The community is invited to provide its feedback on the draft John Rice Avenue Elizabeth South Residential Code Amendment.

Consultation is open until 5:00 pm Monday 2 December 2024.
