Complying Changes to the Code are undertaken through a fast-track process that allows for zone, sub-zone or overlay boundary changes to the Code that are consistent with a clear recommendation in a Regional Plan.
For this to occur, the proposed changes to the Code must be clearly and expressly identified in the Regional Plan, through the use of specific maps or information about the changes proposed to the Code.
Consultation on Complying Changes to the Code is required, and this must comply with the Community Engagement Charter. It is possible for a Complying Change to the Code and an amendment to a Regional Plan to be consulted on and approved at the same time.
The Minister may make a decision on a Complying Change after receiving advice from the Commission. A Complying Change to the Code will take effect from the date specified in an instrument published on the SA planning portal.
There is no requirement to refer Complying Changes to the ERDC.
It is recommended that the department is contacted regarding any requests for Complying Changes to the Code.
