What's being decided?

Please note: This consultation is separate to the one undertaken in December 2022. Please take the time to note the difference in this new proposal - which is based on feedback from the December 2022 consultation - and provide your feedback to ensure your voice is heard.
You can view the REVISED MAP of the current and proposed boundary.
Background
The southern portion of Hackham is being developed to become a master-planned community offering up to 2000 new homes. This proposal provides a clear distinction between existing industrial zoning current and future residential development.
The developer has provided a written submission to the Surveyor-General requesting to change the suburb name of the area being developed to Onkaparinga Heights.
Realigning the boundary and providing a new name for this portion of the existing suburb of Hackham provides a unique identity for a new and growing community while maintaining logical and recognisable suburb boundaries.
The proposed name, Onkaparinga Heights, reflects the geographical location and elevated topography of the area.
Initial consultation for the suburb boundary realignment and renaming was undertaken in December 2022. Feedback received during this consultation indicated an overwhelming support from residents north of Hepenstal Road particularly those within the 'Onkaparinga Views Estate' to be included in the new suburb.
Under the Geographical Names Act 1991 any changes from the original proposal will require subsequent public consultation following a public notice.
The suburb renaming will affect existing residents within the proposed area. If approved, residents in the highlighted area would have their suburb name changed from Hackham to Onkaparinga Heights and will need to update their address with multiple agencies and organisations.
The public notice was published in the Government Gazette dated 16 February 2023 beginning public consultation and can be viewed at sa.gov.au/placenameproposals.

Consultation outcome
On 6 April 2023, the Minister for Planning has approved a suburb boundary realignment within Hackham that will create a new suburb of ‘Onkaparinga Heights’.
The boundary was determined by a range of factors, including:
- the need to establish logical and recognisable boundaries,
- existing development plan zoning and
- road networks.
The new suburb of Onkaparinga Heights is bound by Main South Road to the west, Piggott Range Road to the south and east and by Cottage Lane and the industrial land to the north.
Most affected by the change will be existing property owners and prospective or recent purchasers of allotments within the site.
Residents, businesses and landowners will be contacted to advise them of the suburb name and provide advice about updating their address details with relevant organisations.
