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

• Upgrades or augmentation of the Barossa Waste Treatment Plant and the Elizabeth/Gawler
trunk sewer will not be required in the program period, but planning needs to begin urgently for
these major head works. Charges will be applied to new allotments for these upgrades;
• Some roads are approaching capacity and there is need for long lead time strategic planning
for upgrades of major intersections. The increase in traffic volumes along Curtis Road will need
to be addressed;
• There are major stormwater infrastructure works required to service the undeveloped
residential land in Munno Para North and urban land in Gawler South which would impose a
significant financial burden if Local Government had to bear the full cost. These works are
required before land can be developed for housing.
The issues and staging strategy identified by the MDP are acknowledged by this DPA. In
particular, servicing/infrastructure issues are fully examined in Section 5.
4.3 South Australia’s Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan does not contain any specific reference to the Area Affected. However the Plan
does express themes which are relevant to the planning and development of the Area Affected.
These themes include:
• Growing Prosperity;
• Improving Wellbeing;
• Attaining Sustainability;
• Fostering Creativity and Innovation;
• Building Communities;
• Expanding Opportunity.
The draft DPA has had regard to these themes by the incorporation of planning policy which:
• has a clear focus on environmental sustainability;
• seeks to address the disadvantage experienced in the Peachey Belt by facilitating a
comprehensive and integrated urban regeneration project;
• has been formulated following an extensive period of community engagement, particularly in
respect to the Playford Alive project.
The Strategic Plan also contains a number of targets of relevance to the DPA. These include:
T1.10 TARGET – Jobs:
better the Australian average employment growth rate by 2014.
T1.13 TARGET – Employment in the defence industry:
increase defence industry employment from 16,000 to 28,000 by 2013.
T1.22 TARGET – Total population:
increase South Australia’s population to 2 million by 2050, with an interim target of 1.64 million by
2014.
T3.6 TARGET – Use of public transport:
increase the use of public transport to 10% of metropolitan weekday passenger vehicle kilometres
traveled by 2018.
