Code amendments

The Planning and Design Code (the Code) is a statutory instrument under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016, for the purposes of development assessment and related matters within South Australia.

The Code contains the planning rules and policies that guide what can be developed in South Australia. Planning authorities use these planning rules to assess development proposals.

A code amendment is a proposal to change the policies, rules, or mapping within the Code.

A Proposal to Initiate a code amendment details the scope, relevant strategic and policy considerations, nature of investigations to be carried out and information to be obtained for the Code Amendment. It also details the engagement process and timeframes to be followed in undertaking the Code Amendment.
