1. REGIONAL PLANS

1.1 DEFINITIONRegional Plans provide a long-term vision for a region to guide land use planning over a 15 to 30-year period, expressing what the region wishes to achieve in the context of State Planning Policies.

1.2 THE ROLE OF REGIONAL PLANSThe Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 requires that a Regional Plan be prepared for each region of South Australia. Regional Plans are prepared by a Joint Planning Board in partnership with the Councils included on the Board. Where there is no Board, the State Planning Commission is responsible for preparing the relevant Regional Plan.

The primary focus of a Regional Plan is to guide long-term land use planning and to propose potential changes to the Planning and Design Code, integrating public domain, infrastructure and transport requirements (proposing investment in infrastructure and changes to services) that will be needed to support the long-term land use vision.

A secondary potential focus is on other areas to meet regional circumstances such as where there might be a gap in other regional plans or reinforcing key regional priorities.

Regional Plans may be divided into parts relating to sub-regions and may include structure plans, master plans, concept plans or other similar documents.

2.3.2 Scope of Regional PlanDescribe scope of this Regional Plan in relation to purpose 1: land use zoning; 2: integration of planning, transport and infrastructure; public domain or 3: other strategic initiatives and actions that support the regional vision

Explain why the scope for each of the three purposes was selected.

Depending on individual circumstances it may be possible to implement Code Amendments from a Regional Plan, provided there has been sufficient research, consultation and planning. It will be important to work with the Commission and DPTI on the extent of work required to implement a Code Amendment when scoping the Regional Plan.

2.3.3 Approval of scope Include date of SPC approval (if required) and any issues that arose in obtaining that approval.

4. REGIONAL POLICIES AND ACTIONS

Ensure there is a focus on outcomes when writing policies and actions, and that the actions can be implemented. The actions should indicate who is to do them and when and fit pre-determined categories that align with the purposes of the Regional Plan:

• Primary purpose: land Use planning – code amendments, structure plans

• Primary purpose: infrastructure, public realm and transport – invest (in infrastructure and public domain), advocate (for infrastructure, transport, public domain)

• Secondary purpose: other strategic priorities – Council Strategic Management Plans, advocate, facilitate, engage.
