Greater Adelaide Regional Plan

Have your say and help shape the future of Greater Adelaide. Community engagement for the Greater Adelaide Regional Plan (GARP) is now open.

Council is not leading this process; the State Planning Commission (the Commission) and Planning and Land Use Services are leading the GARP and community engagement process.

The draft Plan identifies a mix of greenfield growth areas, strategic infill and urban renewal sites, future employment land and environmental, transport and infrastructure opportunities and constraints. The GARP will replace the current 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide and determine how future urban growth will be managed. The GARP is divided into five themes:

• People, housing and liveability
• Productive economy
• Natural resources, environment and landscape
• Transport and infrastructure
• Delivery and implementation

With six relating outcomes:

• Outcome 1: More housing in the right places
• Outcome 2: Liveable, accessible and inclusive communities
• Outcome 3: A strong economy built on a smarter, cleaner future
• Outcome 4: A greener, wilder and more climate-resilient environment
• Outcome 5: An integrated and connected region
• Outcome 6: Coordinated delivery of land use and infrastructure planning.

This consultation follows a previous engagement process in relation to the Greater Adelaide Regional Plan Discussion Paper which was held from 23 August 2023 to 6 November 2023.
