South Australians invited to shape the future of Greater Adelaide

The State Planning Commission has launched public consultation on the Greater Regional Adelaide Plan (the Plan), offering South Australians the opportunity to help shape the long-term planning vision for urban, land and housing development across the state.

This Plan builds on insights from a successful three-month engagement process on the Greater Adelaide Regional Plan Discussion Paper. The consultation sparked healthy debate and produced valuable ideas that have been instrumental in the development of the Plan.

This comprehensive strategy is designed to guide the region’s growth and sustainable development over the next 15 to 30 years. It aims to ensure a consistent supply of affordable land and diverse housing options while offering clear direction to the community, councils and developers on Greater Adelaide’s long-term growth.

In addition, the Plan focuses on preserving green spaces and tree canopies, modernising essential services and infrastructure, recognising neighbourhood character, and prioritising environmental sustainability.

Public consultation will be open for six weeks, during which stakeholders can share their views on key priorities, including:

• the location of new housing and employment
• major infrastructure required to support growth
• specific areas that should be protected from future development.

A series of online community briefing sessions and workshops will be held for people to learn and discuss proposed options to meet the needs of our growing population.

The consultation period will close at 5:00 pm on Monday 4 November 2024.
