Draft Planning and Design Code Consultation: Phase Three

In November, Livestock SA made a submission of Phase Two (Rural Areas) of the Draft Planning and Design Code Consultation. As Phase Three covers a significant part of rural South Australia, particularly in terms of agricultural production including livestock, several points need to be addressed including clarifications of definitions within the new Planning and Design Code, consistency with other legislation, minimum size for farming, conflict between primary production industries and flexibility in changes of practice. Other concerns include updates to the Peri-Urban zone and the impact on broadacre livestock production.
