• build a place not a project;<br />
• make retail development market driven not transit driven;<br />
• mix uses but not necessarily in the same place;<br />
• make buses part <strong>of</strong> the transit solution;<br />
• encourage every price point to live around transit.<br />
Principles from the WA <strong>Development</strong> Control Policy 1.6 (Jan 2006) include:<br />
• the street pattern needs to be designed to encourage walking and needs to provide direct<br />
routes to the station;<br />
• a bus interchange should be provided;<br />
• density for residential development should be around 25 dwellings per hectare;<br />
• buildings need to be oriented to the street and have minimal setbacks;<br />
• buildings need to be robust in design and enable change <strong>of</strong> use over time;<br />
• wider than normal footpaths must be on both sides <strong>of</strong> the street.<br />
TOD has occurred with considerable vigour in cities such as Perth, primarily as a result <strong>of</strong> string<br />
policy direction, continued strong growth in the development <strong>of</strong> new communities and continued<br />
investment in the public transport system. Below are photographs <strong>of</strong> a TOD in Perth.<br />
TOD has considerable relevance to the Area Affected, with the Adelaide Gawler train line extending<br />
in a north-south direction through the Area Affected. Four stations presently are located within the<br />
Area Affected, with the Karri Street station providing significant opportunity for a TOD, given that all<br />
immediately adjacent land is owned by either the LMC, DFC or Council.<br />
3.4 Affordable Housing<br />
In March 2005, South Australia adopted a target for all new significant developments to include<br />
15% affordable housing, including 5% high need housing. The target is expressed in strategic level<br />
documents and is now supported by legislative changes passed by Parliament in May 2007 via the<br />
Statutes Amendment (Affordable Housing) Bill.<br />
While the Bill amends a number <strong>of</strong> State Acts, the amendments to the <strong>Development</strong> Act are most<br />
relevant to this DPA. In particular, the Bill introduces explicit references to affordable housing in the<br />
Objects <strong>of</strong> the Act and further details the need for Councils to take into consideration affordable<br />
housing in <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>s, Strategic Direction Reports and Strategic <strong>Plan</strong>ning and<br />
<strong>Development</strong> Committees.<br />
The <strong>SA</strong> Affordable Housing Trust (<strong>SA</strong>AHT) within the Department for Families and Communities<br />
(DFC) provides a key resource in fostering the delivery <strong>of</strong> affordable housing outcomes. Through<br />
the Affordable Housing Innovation Program, the <strong>SA</strong>AHT seeks to engage local government,<br />
builders and developers, financiers and investors and non-government organisations to explore and<br />
implement initiatives to increase the supply <strong>of</strong> housing to households on low to moderate incomes.<br />
