Eyre and Western Regional Plan

Have your say on the Eyre and Western Regional Plan

What's being decided?

The State Planning Commission (the Commission) has released the Eyre and Western Regional Plan (the Plan) and want to hear from community, councils and industry on how we sustainably prepare for future growth.

The Plan provides a framework for land use, infrastructure, and environmental management over the next 30 years to support sustainable growth. It addresses challenges related to remoteness and the need for reliable connections between communities and services. This Plan ensures the region has the infrastructure and housing needed to support its growing communities, safeguard the region’s unique environment, increase job and economic opportunities and compatible land uses for the region’s long-term prosperity and liveability.

Background

The Commission, with support from Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS), is currently preparing six new country regional plans for South Australia:

  • Kangaroo Island
  • Yorke Peninsula and Mid North
  • Eyre and Western
  • Far North
  • Limestone Coast
  • Murray Mallee.

These plans play an important role in guiding sustainable growth by identifying land use and long-term infrastructure over a 15 to 30 year period. They outline where new housing and employment areas will be located, how services will be delivered, and what infrastructure is needed while exploring different growth scenarios. In 2023, Visioning Workshops were held in Port Lincoln and Ceduna to gather insights to support the initial development of the Plan. Stakeholders unable to attend the workshops were invited to provide feedback through a survey hosted on the YourSAy platform. You can read more about the community’s insights in the What We Heard Report.

The information collected during the workshops and the YourSAy survey have informed the development of the Plan.
