Development Plan - City of Playford - SA.Gov.au

While the range of housing may be diverse, it is envisaged that the streetscapes will be interesting and
provide a high level of residential amenity and social interaction. Development should contribute to a
cohesive housing form, incorporate simple forms and a high degree of articulation. The built form character
should be established through appropriate design, including interesting roof forms, building articulation,
recessed vehicle garaging, and appropriate landscaping. The inclusion of front verandahs is encouraged to
promote street interaction and activity, providing for passive surveillance and safer streets.
A range of housing forms is envisaged generally up to three storeys in height. The use of iconic built form
and scale should be considered to emphasise major arrival focus points, accentuate key corners and
terminate vistas. Development should create an appropriate transition between higher level development
internal to the Zone and established low rise residences adjacent to it.
Development of the zone should strongly emphasise both visual and physical connectivity with the
surrounding area and facilities. Appropriate and cohesive pedestrian and bicycle movement corridors and
visual links should be established between new development and adjoining areas including public
recreation areas, public transport nodes and local shopping and community facilities.
The projected future population will require additional educational facilities in Munno Para West, Blakeview
and Andrews Farm. Schools should generally be located in accordance with the Structure Plan, having
frontage to a major collector road. Schools should form a focal point for the new community providing
opportunities for the establishment of iconic buildings and shared open space.
Munno Para West
In Munno Para West, the northerly extension of Peachey Road should be in the form of a wide tree lined
boulevard, with the creation of a square or similar urban design treatment designed to promote connectivity
and integration between existing and new communities.
Curtis Road will become a major arterial road connecting Main North Road and the future Northern
Expressway. It is anticipated that Curtis Road will eventually accommodate up to 36,000 vehicles per day
which will warrant upgrading the whole of the road to accommodate four lanes. Such increased volumes of
traffic will also necessitate an upgrade of the existing rail crossing, with an overpass identified as the
preferred option.
A secondary boulevard should serve as a key east west connector providing direct linkages to both
Stebonheath Road to the west and Munno Para Railway station to the east, the hub of a possible future
Transport Oriented Development (TOD). It is critical that dwelling densities be maximised within 400
metres of the future TOD so to ensure the viability and function of this precinct.
OBJECTIVES
1 Development that contributes to the Desired Character and is generally in accordance with
development outcomes and staging sequences contained in Structure Plans Play/1 (Overlay 1),
Play/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargements E (1) to E (2), F (1) to F (2) and G (1) to G (2).
2 A predominately residential area comprising a range of dwelling densities, with associated
infrastructure, recreational, educational or community development in master-planned locations.
Higher density residential development (as defined by the Planning Strategy) is sought within 400
metres of the future TOD precinct.
3 An orderly sequence of development which allows economic and effective provision of public
infrastructure and services and which exploits existing underutilized public services such as
community and education facilities.
4 Development that demonstrates best practice in sustainable urban design and development.
Transport and movement systems designed to give a high priority to, public transport, cycling and
walking.
5 Affordable and adaptable housing choices, including a wide range of dwelling types to cater for a
variety of household structures.
