The State Government is an important step closer to getting houses built at Sellicks Beach with an Infrastructure Schemes initiated for the major land release site.
The approval will help shape the future of the greenfield development sites with plans to engage landholders, potential developers and the respective councils in the decisions for their future.
A key initiative from the Housing Roadmap, Infrastructure Schemes ensure greenfield developments are delivered faster, with consistent necessary infrastructure in place to support new communities.
Infrastructure Schemes create a clear and consistent delivery mechanism for the construction of:
- Roads, intersections and bridges
- Stormwater management infrastructure including culverts and detention basins
- Drains and earthworks connected with infrastructure
- Water, sewerage and electrical infrastructure
- Communications networks
Sellicks Beach is a greenfield development site that formed part of the Malinauskas Labor Government’s record land release, to increase the supply of residential land to address the housing crisis, and could accommodate up to 1700 homes.
Later this year landholders and councils will be consulted on the draft Infrastructure Schemes. This consultation process will run concurrently with public consultation on the code amendments for Sellicks Beach.
According to Planning Minister Nick Champion. “This Infrastructure Scheme mechanism is unique to South Australia and has the necessary elements required to deliver well-planned growth areas that are underpinned by infrastructure commitments.
“This will provide enhanced transparency and certainty for landowners, developers, investors and communities.”
