Ministerial Statement

SEAFORD HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (15:31): I seek leave to make a ministerial statement about the Seaford Heights Development Plan Amendment.

Leave granted.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: On 14 October 2010, the Hon. Mr Brokenshire asked a series of questions regarding Seaford Heights and the staging of development. I wish to clarify that the proposed changes to the City of Onkaparinga's development plan cover an area of 77 hectares at Seaford Heights. While the parties involved in this project (namely, the City of Onkaparinga, the Land Management Corporation and the Fairmont group) may refer to staging of future development, the development plan amendment will update the zoning for the entire 77 hectare area.

While any future project may well be undertaken in stages, the proposed amendment to the development plan deals with the land use for the 77 hectares in its entirety. Staging of construction is a matter for those undertaking such a development once rezoning affords that opportunity. It should be noted that any proposed development on the land will be subject to approval by the relevant authority against the policies and zoning to be established by the amended development plan. It should also be noted that the area subject to the DPA is already zoned either residential or urban.
