Murray Mallee Regional Plan

Have your say on the Murray Mallee Regional Plan.

What's being decided?

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

The Murray Mallee Regional Plan (the Plan) maps the government’s long-term planning vision for the region to 2051 and beyond. It provides governments, businesses, industry and not-for-profit organisations with the data and direction to better plan for and respond to growth and change in our community and towns, while achieving our conservation goals.

The Plan identifies land and long-term infrastructure needs to support sustainable growth within the region. It reflects the unique and changing profile of the region’s population, environment and economy across its vast rural areas and varied townships.

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 2024, Visioning Workshops were held in Murray Bridge and Berri 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.
