State Planning Reforms

New planning reforms will change the way development applications are lodged and assessed. Council is lobbying the State Government for better heritage protection and hopes the community can help by having a say on the new Code. In response to requests from our residents, Council has provided some example submission letters for each of our 6 Council Wards.

Planning Assessment

BURNSIDE COUNCIL16_0492web.jpg

Planning Consent involves the assessment of a proposal against the provisions of the Development Plan for the council area covered. The purpose of this process is to ensure development that:

  • Results in the appropriate use of the land within a particular location (zone or precinct);
  • Enhances and is in keeping with the environmental and visual qualities of the area;
  • Is compatible with the orderly and proper planning of the area and with surrounding development; and
  • Respects the living and working conditions of nearby residents and businesses.

In the City of Burnside, planning assessment is undertaken against the provisions of the Burnside Development Plan established under the South Australian Development Act and Regulations 1993.
