12 Richmond Pty Ltd is proposing to rezone the Affected Area from the Employment Zone to an Urban Corridor Zone to facilitate development of the land for mixed-use purposes. Rezoning to an Urban Corridor Zone and application of relevant Technical and Numeric Variations, including a maximum building height of 8 building levels (subject to investigations), represents a logical extension of the adjacent zoning arrangement. The Affected Area is particularly well located, being walking distance to train and bus services, the Adelaide CBD and Adelaide Park Lands.
The proposed Code Amendment also supports a large number of State Planning Policies and 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide policies.
The Affected Area (785-825 Port Wakefield Road, Globe Derby Park) is currently zoned Rural and represents a pocket of rural zoning which is largely out of place and underutilised. The completion of the Northern Connector has changed the economic outlook of the locality and access to the North-South Corridor is provided via Hodgson Road, less than one kilometre from the Affected Area. There is now significant opportunity to leverage off this important piece of infrastructure and provide a diversity of employment uses along Port Wakefield Road..
The Code Amendment proposes to rezone approximately 8.3 hectares of land to the Employment Zone to support employment related land uses and strengthen the local economy through investment and jobs. To ensure a coordinated approach to the rezoning, multiple landowners are working together to undertake this Code Amendment rather than individual landowners undertaking separate Proponent led Code Amendments. Such will ensure a coordinated approach to infrastructure provision and a consistent zoning outcome.

Demo Super Fund, Silvergate (SA) Pty Ltd and Silvergate (SA) No. 2 Pty Ltd (the Designated Entity) is proposing an amendment to the Planning and Design Code (a Code Amendment) to rezone land located between the Spencer Highway, Bowman Road and Rosslyn Road, Wallaroo (Affected Area).
The Affected Area is currently within the Rural Zone. The Code Amendment proposes to rezone a portion of the Affected Area to the Employment Zone and a portion to the Neighbourhood Zone. Investigations have identified a need for employment zoned land supply in Wallaroo and more broadly the Copper Coast Council area.

Morphettville Racecourse has been confirmed as the premier facility and focus for thoroughbred racing and associated hospitality activities in metropolitan Adelaide. Consolidation of the racing activities, including the provision of a new inner track at the Morphettville Racecourse combined with changes in horse keeping and stabling, resulted in the identification that more than seven hectares of land at Morphettville that was no longer required for racing purposes.
As a result, the South Australian Jockey Club Incorporated (SAJC) are proposing to rezone approximately 1.5 hectares of land at 86 – 88 Morphett Road, Glengowrie from the Recreation Zone to the Urban Neighbourhood Zone. The proposed rezoning will extend the Urban Neighbourhood Zone that was authorised in 2020 as part of the Morphettville Racecourse Development Plan Amendment (DPA) and will support the future establishment of an inner urban mixed-use neighbourhood.
The Code Amendment seeks to rezone approximately 9.4 hectares of land from the Rural Living Zone to the Rural Neighbourhood Zone to facilitate very low-density residential development outcomes. The Code Amendment intends to alter the existing minimum site area from 20,000 square metres to either 2,000 square metres or 7,500 square metres, or a combination of the two. This represents a minor intensification of the existing policy arrangement.
The rezoning will facilitate a future yield of approximately 42 dwellings if rezoned to Rural Neighbourhood Zone with a minimum allotment size of 2,000 square metres.
The Affected Area is identified within The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide as ‘planned urban lands to 2045’. It is located approximately 3.5 kilometres from the main street of Goolwa and represents a logical extension of the adjoining zoning arrangement.

The Designated Entity is proposing to rezone approximately 241 hectares of land between Alexandrina Road and Byrnes Road, Goolwa (the Affected Area) to accommodate a low density and low scale residential community, with associated non-residential uses such as retail and community facilities.

Goolwa North is identified as a Growth Area in the State Government’s Regional Plan, The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide. In 2016, another key strategic report was produced titled ‘Goolwa North Enquiry by Design Workshop – Outcomes Report’ which prepared a Masterplan to guide the future growth of Goolwa North.

More specifically, the Vadoulis Garden Centre activities include the sale of plants, outdoor furniture, BBQs, homewares, gifts and a café, including take away food. The Code Amendment will introduce zoning in accordance with its current use and ensure that the land in this location will continue to be used for employment generating purposes.
Investigations on the Code Amendment have found that vacant employment land in the Town of Gawler will be exhausted in 5 – 9.5 years. The Code Amendment will increase the existing employment land supply within the Council area by 73% and secure employment land supply for up to 15.5 years.

The land is ideally located within walking distance to the main street and area school in Mount Compass. The proposal supports State strategic documents such as the State Planning Policies and The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.
