Part 2. Where should Greater Adelaide grow?
The Commission considers it important to adopt a growth approach that balances greenfield, township and infill development, in the right places, with well-timed infrastructure provision.
The Commission has established the following 'Principles for Identifying Land for Housing and Jobs' to guide consistent and objective government decisions.
The 7 Principles
1.
We will plan for a high-growth scenario and stage the release of new land to meet the forecast demand of 300,000 dwellings by 2051.
2.
Sub-regions will have their own distinct part to play in Greater Adelaide's future and each Local Government Area will have targets to accommodate growth.
3.
Land supply beyond the planned future urban lands must take into consideration existing capacity of land that is available for development within the existing boundaries (defined by EFPAs).
4.
Planning will accommodate rolling 15-year land supply targets for a range of land supply types.
5.
The encroachment of urban areas on places of high primary production, landscape or environmental significance should be avoided.
6.
To account for zoned land that may not become available for development due to landowner intention, an additional amount of land supply will be identified.
7.
Identification and prioritisation of growth areas will be based on the transparency of costs to community (infrastructure provision, housing cost, ongoing living costs, climate change resilience costs) for differing forms of supply.
