Proposed Tintinara Airfield Code Amendment

Consultation has concluded

Have your say on proposed changes to the planning rules for Tintinara Airfield.

What's being decided?

We are proposing changes to the planning rules to enable up to six homes with private aircraft hangars to be built within Tintinara Airfield.

The draft Code Amendment would apply the ‘Residential Aviation Estate Subzone’ to the southern corner of the airfield.

This provides opportunities for low-density residential development with a home and associated aircraft hangar on the same allotment.

Building height and scale would be limited to complement nearby buildings and mitigate adverse impacts on neighbouring homes and business.

To complement the open character of the airfield and surrounding rural landscape, the area of allotment covered by buildings would also be limited, and space would be required between the buildings.

These proposed changes would help increase the airfield’s use, provide additional investment and employment opportunities for the region and contribute to the airfield’s long-term viability.

Background

The Tintinara Airfield Code Amendment would reinstate rules introduced into the Coorong District Council Development Plan in 2017.

These policies did not transition over to the new planning system when it was first implemented in the area, in July 2020, because no suitable subzone or replacement policy existed.

In March 2021, the Residential Aviation Estate Subzone was added to the ‘Code library’.

The draft Code Amendment would apply the Residential Aviation Estate Subzone to the same area as where similar rules were applied in the previous development plan.
