Residential Land Release

In reply to Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (20 October 2022).

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning): I have been advised of the following:

There are a total of 773 active development applications seeking approval for additional residential allotments in the state.

Should these development applications be granted approval it would create an additional 9,700 allotments.

There are 24 development applications awaiting approval for more than 100 residential allotments each.

The largest development application awaiting approval is for 700 allotments. This application is located on land within the Playford North extension development front.

Approval time frames are based on a range of factors and therefore it is not possible to provide exact timeframes around when these applications will be approved.

What we can say is land division consent applications are legislated to be assessed within a 60-business day period. However, the assessment may take longer depending on several factors including the provision of a sufficient level of information from applicants, whether referral advice from other government agencies is needed, and if public notification is required. Current data indicates that average assessment timeframes for land division applications are well under the 60-day period.
