Update: December 2023

The State Planning Commission is very pleased to have received 85 submissions during public consultation for its draft Residential Driveway Crossover Design Standard, 20 of which were from local government.

Design standards are a new instrument introduced by the Commission and driveway crossovers is the first to be proposed at a state level. The consultation with community and stakeholders has proven invaluable as several significant matters were raised that require further and more detailed investigation by the Commission.

In broad terms, the submissions acknowledged the goals of the Commission for the design standard were a worthy aspiration, however there was a general querying of the role this design standard should play in the planning system and the assessment mechanics of how it will work.

The submissions will be collated and considered in greater detail for the Engagement Report to be released in early 2024.

The Commission will then consider next steps for the Residential Driveway Crossover Design Standard and the timing for this work within the extensive program being undertaken by the Commission in 2024.

The Commission will keep the community and stakeholders updated via YourSAy and PlanSA websites.
