b. Better describe the envisaged form of development c. Identify Churchill Road and Main North Road as strategic transport routes

19. Expressing the zone’s minimum density policy as a desired target for residential development only.

20. Improved water sensitive design provisions in the General section of the DPA.

21. Included provisions and overlays for noise generating activities and air quality.

Design Review & Relevant Authority

A design review process has been established for all development 5 storeys and greater, which will be subject to pre-lodgement design and subsequent assessment through the Development Assessment Commission. Council will be invited to nominate a representative to a special committee of the DAC. Other initiatives A number of other initiatives were announced by the Minister when approving the new Development Plan that include:

• The establishment of a new architectural and design centre to promote high standards of design and development.

• Development of new design guidelines in consultation with industry and Council to inform future residential developments in Adelaide and inner city areas, to support the delivery of well-designed homes and shared open spaces.

• The Planning Reform Panel to look at the design review and design standards to go into a future planning system.

• State Government to work with Councils to upgrade public spaces and streetscapes. • Extend stamp duty relief for off-the-plan apartment sales to rezoned inner metropolitan

areas, saving people up to $21,330 on the cost of purchasing a new apartment. • The target of at least 15 per cent affordable housing in all new significant housing

developments will extend to the newly zoned areas. This will open up opportunities for an inner city lifestyle to those who may otherwise be locked out of the market because of affordability.
