Hackham Code Amendment

Consultation has concluded. Below is a record of the engagement.

Update: Hackham Code Amendment Approved 

The Minister for Planning has approved the Hackham Code Amendment, with changes that take into account feedback received during consultation. See below for more details.


We are seeking community feedback on the proposed rezoning of 235 hectares of land in Hackham and Old Noarlunga.

What's being decided?

The Chief Executive of the Attorney-General’s Department is undertaking a Code Amendment to rezone 235 hectares of land across Hackham, and a small portion of Old Noarlunga, to address an immediate need for further land supply and population growth in the south of Adelaide.

Your views will help inform a new policy that seeks to ensure the provision of appropriately zoned land, which meets the needs of the growing population, and is well-serviced by existing transport, social infrastructure and employment. 

Background

As part of the outer south region of Greater Adelaide, Hackham and Old Noarlunga have been identified as having the lowest greenfield (undeveloped) land supply of all regions in Greater Adelaide.

The Hackham Code Amendment proposes to rezone 235 hectares of land across Hackham and Old Noarlunga (211.5 h and 23.5 h, respectively) to address an immediate need for further land supply and population growth in the south of Adelaide—which in turn will facilitate the contribution to housing affordability and quality of life for South Australians.

The proposed rezoning seeks to:

  1. Enable a potential residential development of approximately 2000 new houses and a retail centre in Hackham
  2. Provide new policy to improve development on sloping land
  3. Ensure the provision of appropriate infrastructure and services for the community

We encourage you to view the prepared maps that show the proposed area with current (old) and proposed (new) zoning and overlays.

You can also view a visual Concept Plan over the area proposed to be zoned Master Planned Neighbourhood Zone, which illustrates the infrastructure required to manage stormwater, open space, walking/cycling and traffic. The Proposed Subzones Map shows the two proposed subzones to support the development of a retail centre, and address residential density and design requirements for sloping land.

For further information about this Amendment, please visit the PlanSA website.

Get involved

South Australians are invited to review the proposed Amendment and prepared resources and to have their say to help inform and update planning policy and proposed zone changes.

Please consider the following aspects of the Amendment, which stakeholders and the community can influence:

  1. The zone and subzone selection for all or parts of the proposed area
  2. The application of overlays to the proposed area
  3. Wording of the proposed policies within the new Hills Subzone
  4. The use and location of the Emerging Activity Centre Subzone
  5. The Technical and Numeric Variations (TNVs) that may apply (where permitted in the relevant Zone's policies)
  6. The introduction and layout of the Concept Plan

Submissions must be received by 5pm, Tuesday 26 July 2022 and can be made:

Hard copies of the proposed Code Amendment will be available for viewing during the standard business hours at:

  • Level 5, 50 Flinders Street, ADELAIDE SA 5000

  • Hackham Code Amendment Approved

    The Minister for Planning has approved the Hackham Code Amendment, with changes that take into account feedback received during consultation.

    The Code Amendment will change the planning policy and zoning of land at Hackham to support the development of up to 2,000 new houses, an activity centre, and associated stormwater and road infrastructure. It addresses an immediate need to provide additional housing and land supply in the south of Adelaide to support the region’s future population and employment growth.

    Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the consultation period. The (External link)What We Heard Document (External link)summarises the key feedback received last year, while the Full Engagement Report(External link) and Final Code Amendment Summary Document outline the final changes made to the Code Amendment in response to public feedback.

    Key changes include new policy to guide development on sloping land. The approved changes to zoning will also provide an appropriate transition in development to adjacent areas of natural or built form character such as the Onkaparinga River National Park and Old Noarlunga.

    These changes will come into effect once published in the online Planning and Design Code, which is expected in February 2023.
