Brown Road (Residential) Development Plan Amendment

This Development Plan Amendment process commenced at the end of 2013 and continued through 2014 where the draft DPA (documenting the investigations) underwent public consultation. It is now in the final process where Council has made amendments to the proposed area of land proposed to be rezoned and included additional planning policies in response to considering the public consultation outcomes and advice from its professional staff.

The amended DPA has been forwarded to the Minister for Planning for review and to seek its authorisation to update the Yankalilla Development Plan.

Council initiated planning investigations into the possible re-zoning of a small portion of privately owned land (adjoining the existing residential area of Carrickalinga) at Brown Road, from Primary Industry zoning to Residential zoning. The owner of this land funded this work with strict limitations to give control over the process to Council.

The land in question is part of a future Growth Area for Carrickalinga identified within the District 30 Year Plan (adopted in 2009). The area of land affected by the DPA is approximately 2 Hectares (being portion of the 6.5 Hectare Growth Area) and could possibly accommodate up to 18 new residential allotments, as a small extension of the residential area.
