Have your say - policy changes for new development in transport corridors

A series of state government and council-led initiatives to encourage better design outcomes for communities along urban corridors in Adelaide’s inner metro areas, as well as areas of the City of Onkaparinga and Prospect, have recently been introduced or finalised

Development Plan Amendments (DPAs) in these areas focus on improving the form and appearance of new developments and improving the integration of new developments with existing homes.

The following DPAs are on consultation:

• Inner and Middle Metro (Sites) DPA
• Inner and Middle Metro (Design) DPA
• City of Prospect Urban Corridor and Interface Areas Policy Review DPA
• City of Onkaparinga General Residential and Miscellaneous DPA

To support the delivery of well-designed developments across South Australia, the Office for Design and Architecture SA has released its draft Design Guidelines for consultation. The Guidelines aim to support the delivery of well-designed housing choice in metropolitan Adelaide and towns across South Australia, ensuring new developments positively contribute to existing neighbourhoods.

The following DPA has been approved following consultation in late 2016:
