Housing SA

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (26 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning): I have been advised:

The ministerial building specification MBS007 definitions are as follows:

Small allotment means an allotment with the primary street setback less than 10 metres.

Irregular allotment means an allotment with an area less than 300 square metres and which is unable to contain a minimum 9 metres x 15 metres rectangle beyond the primary street setback.

Advice has been received from Planning and Land Use Services that the small lot definition is incorrect in the current draft and should read ‘the primary street frontage being less than 10m' rather than setback. This error is currently being corrected.

The Noarlunga master plan provides 244 allotments (approximately 39 per cent) with primary street frontages less than 10 metres, however one of the development's objectives is a commitment to sustainability in the planning, design and delivery of the development, and to provide housing that responds to future climate needs. A target of a five-star Greenstar Community's rating through the Green Building Council of Australia will also be sought for this development, which means Renewal SA will support and facilitate design and specifications for good energy performance across all dwellings while meeting affordability goals.
