Council has recently considered the Ministers response to the City Centre Heritage Development Plan Amendment.

For an update of the DPA please go to the yoursayadelaide website “news section” http://yoursay.adelaidecitycouncil.com/citycentreheritagedpa

Background

In March 2012, Council released the City Centre Heritage Development Plan Amendment for consultation. This amendment proposes to designate 77 buildings as local heritage places. Following Special Council Meetings on 13 and 14 June 2012  to conduct the public hearing of objections, on 9 October 2012 , Council resolved to forward the amendment to the Minister with no amendments. Council arrived at this decision having regard to prior heritage advice received.

All submissions received and Council’s response to submissions has been forwarded to the Minister for Planning, with all objections to be considered by the State Government’s Local Heritage Advisory Committee in December 2012.  For information about this Amendment, please contact David Bailey on 8203 7547 or d.bailey@adelaidecitycouncil.com

Other Development Plan Amendments

Other Development Plan Amendments being progressed by Council are as follows:

DPA	Aim	Comments
City Centre Heritage DPA (Part 2)	Protect 170 buildings of local heritage value in the City Centre	Under consideration by Council in the first half of 2012 in order to seek agreement from the Minister to release these buildings for consultation.  Note that these 170 are the balance of the 250 buildings proposed in the September 2009 Heritage DPA affecting the then CBA/MU Zones.
Part 2 Residential/ Mainstreet (Hutt) Zones City Heritage	Protect 23 buildings of local heritage value in the south east and south west corners	The Minister advised in 2011 that he is not prepared to approve the DPA for consultation due to concerns that the buildings over-represent historic themes already represented by existing listings, level of physical alterations to the buildings, and inconsistency with 30 Year Plan targets.  Council advised the Minister that it was not prepared to withdraw the DPA.  The DPA is with Council for consideration.
Late Night Licensed Premises	Balance City vibrancy and safety via establishing appropriate mix of uses and operating hours for late night licensed premises.	The Minister for Planning agreed to the broad intent of the Amendment in early 2009.  An Amendment was prepared in 2009 and government agencies consulted in early 2010. In September 2010, the Amendment was forwarded to the Minister seeking approval for consultation and interim development control.  In 2010 during the process of preparing the Amendment, the State Government determined to undertake a review of liquor licensing.  This Amendment is on hold with the Minister pending outcome on State Liquor Licensing review
Better Development Plan	More user friendly Development Plan consistent with the State Government Better Development Plan format and structure.	The Statement of Intent has been placed on hold by Council
Sustainability	Improve sustainability settings regarding green buildings, movement, and noise.	Following a Council resolution of 31 May 2011, Council is not progressing this DPA.  Elements of the scope for the DPA are being addressed by other initiatives and external developments. Energy efficiency building standards are being strengthened arising from COAG, movement is being considered through Council’s Integrated Movement Strategy and other strategic plans, and noise standards are being refined by the State Government.  The need for the DPA and its scope will be reconsidered through the Development Plan Review.

In 2009, Council  undertook a Development Plan Review under Section 30 of the Development Act, 1993. The Review involved consultation with the local community, government agencies and other relevant organisations. It also assessed the appropriateness of the Development Plan in relation to the Council area, and its consistency with State Government Planning Strategy for Metropolitan Adelaide.
