In reply to the Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light) (30 July 2019). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure that, in relation to the three implementation areas—or phases—being used for the transition to the new planning system:

Outback areas – phase 1 areas – are the unincorporated areas of the state – those which are not within the area of a council – they comprise land to the north of Goyder's Line excluding Roxby Downs and Coober Pedy (both of which are in the area of a council) and all of the state's coastal waters along Adelaide's coastline.

Regional areas – phase 2 areas – are the quintessentially rural areas of the state – those which are not part of Greater Adelaide nor within a regional city council area. These include all parts of the state that are contained within a local government area that can be characterised as rural in nature. The affected local government areas are identified below:

Metropolitan areas—phase 3 areas—are those parts of the state within the boundaries of our Greater Adelaide Councils, our regional city councils and the coastal waters along the Adelaide coastline. These include all parts of the state that are contained within a local government area that can be characterised as urban in nature, or contain areas that are urban in nature. The affected local government areas are identified below:
