Engagement report and finalised Standards released

In response to the introduction of a new planning system for South Australia, Heritage South Australia reviewed and updated the existing guidelines for development in Colonel Light Gardens in readiness for consultation with the community.

You may have been involved in our engagement process, which occurred from Friday 11 December to Monday 1 February 2021, where the community was asked for their input into how the draft updated guidelines for development could be amended to strengthen and protect heritage values in Colonel Light Gardens. This was an extensive engagement process that included local landowners, residents, various stakeholders and the broader South Australian community.

You can find out more about the engagement process, what we heard and how we responded in the Updated Heritage Standards (Colonel Light Gardens State Heritage Area) Engagement Report.

Following the analysis of all the feedback gathered, the new Heritage Standards (Colonel Light Gardens State Heritage Area) were finalised. The new Standards were published on 28 April 2021 and are now being used by Heritage South Australia to inform decisions about development in the area.
