Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Land Zoning Land Zoning The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council Land Zoning The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (15:00): My question is to the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, representing the Minister for Planning. It is my understanding that zoning is based on the highest and best potential use of land. If this is the case, why are non-viable broadacre cropping and grazing properties within the peri-urban areas of the state zoned as primary production when the land is not viable if used for that purpose? Can the minister advise whether this zoning principal of highest and best potential use has been taken into consideration during the development of the design code and, if so, will rezoning be undertaken and, if not, why not? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Minister for Trade Land Zoning The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:00): I thank the honourable member for his ongoing interest in matters planning, and I will take that question on notice. It is an issue that both he and I have looked at a number of times, but it is a matter for the Minister for Planning, the Hon. Stephan Knoll, and I will take that question on notice and bring back a reply.
