Sellicks Beach Code Amendment

The Minister for Planning is proposing to rezone land at Sellicks Beach to enable a new master planned development catering for up to 1700 new homes including a local centre, and a network of open space.

The Department for Housing and Urban Development (DHUD) are leading the investigations to determine civil infrastructure requirements, and funding and delivery agreements required to support the land being rezoned.

In addition, investigations to inform the Code Amendment will look at the social, recreation, commercial and retail service needs to support the growing population.

Sellicks Hill Quarry air quality assessment and monitoring

DHUD are aware and recognise the need to consider and address the interface, operational and dust matters in relation to the Sellicks Hill Quarry during the course of the Code Amendment process.

The relevant authority for mines in South Australia is the Department for Energy and Mining.

DHUD is working with Department for Energy and Mining to ensure that the tenement holder/operator is and can comply with the Mining Act 1971, the lease terms and conditions, and their Program Objectives and Criteria.

As part of the Code Amendment investigations, the Environment Protection Authority who monitors and regulates South Australia’s air quality, have requested air quality assessment and monitoring be undertaken over a six-month monitoring period commencing late 2024. DHUD have committed to undertake this.
