State-wide Bushfire Hazards Overlay Code Amendment
Consultation has concluded
Consultation on the State-wide Bushfire Hazards Overlay Code Amendment is currently open.
Council is not leading this process; the State Planning Commission (the Commission) and Plan SA are undertaking this community engagement process.
The Code Amendment seeks to update the spatial application of the bushfire hazard overlays to reflect recent bushfire hazard mapping, and review the policy contained in each of the overlays. The Code Amendment will seek to update existing bushfire hazard mapping and apply new bushfire hazard mapping based on investigations undertaken by the Commission.
More information about the code amendment, including FAQs and a map of affected properties, visit the Plan SA website
