Greater Adelaide Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 pages 2 and 3 Greater Adelaide Introduction The region The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide (the Plan) is one of a series of volumes that together form the South Australian Planning Strategy. The Greater Adelaide region is depicted in Figure 1. Figure 1 Greater Adelaide region The Plan was prepared in collaboration with the Local Government Association, the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Natural Resources Management Board, the South Australian MurrayDarling Basin Natural Resources Management Board and the region’s 26 councils. It was approved in February 2010. Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 Table 1 Greater Adelaide region—facts and figures Planning strategy volumes The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide South Australian Government regions • • • • • • • Land area 9,000 square kilometres (excluding the city of Murray Bridge) Population 1,288,529 (2006 Census) 1,379,853 (June 2011 projection) Northern Adelaide Eastern Adelaide Southern Adelaide Western Adelaide Barossa, Light and Lower North Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island (excluding Kangaroo Island) Adelaide Hills (including Murray Bridge) Note—including the city of Murray Bridge Councils Greater Adelaide is an attractive, liveable and prosperous region. It has a population of 1.3 million — just over 80 per cent of the South Australian total — and provides 84.5 per cent of the state’s employment. The region has significant industries in a broad range of sectors, including defence, agriculture, property and business services, manufacturing and tourism. The region is made up of seven government administrative regions plus the regional city of Murray Bridge. It covers about 9,000 pages 4 and 5 Adelaide, Adelaide Hills, Alexandrina, Barossa, Burnside, Campbelltown, Charles Sturt, Gawler, Holdfast Bay, Light, Mallala, Marion, Mitcham, Mount Barker, Murray Bridge, Norwood, Payneham and St Peters, Onkaparinga, Playford, Port Adelaide Enfield, Prospect, Salisbury, Tea Tree Gully, Unley, Victor Harbor, Walkerville, West Torrens, Yankalilla square kilometres stretching between Encounter Bay to the south, the Gulf St Vincent to the west, the Barossa Valley to the north and the River Murray to the east. The region consists of a diverse and vibrant network of urban centres radiating from the city of Adelaide. The Plan aims to enable Greater Adelaide to cater for the needs of a growing population, develop a prosperous economy and meet the challenges of environmental sustainability and climate change. The Plan indicates that economic and community development of Greater Adelaide over three decades can inject an additional $11 billion into the economy. It seeks to shape the Greater Adelaide region as one in which suburbs and neighbourhoods are connected, well designed and promote healthy living through quality open space and environmental features. Details about the region are summarised in Table 1. Greater Adelaide Region highlights Work undertaken by councils, government agencies, industry and communities has contributed to efforts to meet the policies and targets outlined in the Plan. Highlights are summarised in Table 2.

Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 Performance snapshot This section of the report card provides an analysis of performance against a representative sample of targets drawn from the Plan. In addition to this ‘snapshot’, a detailed matrix covering progress on all targets in the Plan is attached. For each target presented, a credible data source is used to report the most recent measurement of progress. Commentary provides analysis of the data and assesses performance. Where targets are shared with South Australia’s Strategic Plan this is identified. pages 6 and 7 Change over the life of the Plan will affect targets chosen for each report card. Some targets will remain relevant for the life of the Plan, and so will be included each year. Others may be removed or updated as they are achieved, or will be altered to reflect progress or changes within the South Australian economy and environment. Greater Adelaide PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 1—GROWING UP, NOT OUT By the end of the Plan’s 30 years, 70 per cent of all new housing in metropolitan Adelaide will be being built in established areas. (Target B, page 72; SASP Target 68) Performance Commentary Dwelling split 2008 - 2010 The share of overall new housing in the established areas of metropolitan Adelaide, as a proportion of the total built across the remainder of Greater Adelaide — including fringe areas and towns and rural locations — has tracked between 56 and 58 per cent in the period 2008–2010. 100 90 Established area (%) 80 70 60 50 This proportion reflects current levels of land supply available for new housing and may decline as new growth suburbs providing affordable housing come on line. This will be offset by parallel efforts to rezone land in infill locations. 40 30 20 10 0 2008 Net established v GAR 2009 2010 Target Source: DPLG, Housing and Employment Land Supply Program Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 2—MAXIMISING NEW HOUSING AROUND KEY TRANSIT CORRIDORS About 60 per cent of metropolitan Adelaide’s new housing growth will be located within 800 metres of current or extended transit corridors. (Target C, page 72) Performance Commentary Proportion of new housing growth within 800 metres of transit corridors in Metropolitan Adelaide 70 60 per cent 50 40 30 20 10 0 2010 Actual 2011 2012 Target Source: DPLG, Housing and Employment Land Supply Program pages 8 and 9 In 2010, 9,181 houses were built within the metropolitan area of Adelaide. Of these, 3,991 (or 43.5 per cent) were built within 800 metres of the current or extended transit corridors indicated in the Plan — significantly less than the target of 60 per cent. This level is unsurprising at this early stage, with substantial rezoning to allow infill growth yet to occur. Opportunities for development in and around transit corridors will increase as local development plans are amended following structure planning along key transit corridors and council reviews of development plans. Greater Adelaide PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 3—MORE TRIPS BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT, FEWER BY CAR Increase the use of public transport to 10 per cent of metropolitan weekday passenger vehicle kilometres travelled by 2018. (Target A, page 116; SASP Target 63) Performance Commentary Use of public transport as a percentage of metropolitan weekday passenger vehicle kilometres Public transport patronage was 7.3 per cent of total passenger vehicle kilometres in 2008–09, up from the baseline of 6.5 per cent in 2002–03. Patronage has stabilised over the years at between 7.2 and 7.4 per cent. 12 10 per cent 8 In 2008 the government announced a $2 billion program of investment in public transport over the next 10 years. This includes rail electrification, bus upgrades and better facilities and infrastructure. 6 4 2 Updated data will be available in the 2012 report card.

(Target C, page 140) Performance Commentary This target is only measurable on five-yearly intervals via the Census. It is calculated by dividing the total private vehicle kilometres travelled within metropolitan Adelaide within a year, by population. Based on the 2006 Census, average private vehicle travel per person undertaken in metropolitan Adelaide within a year was 7,140 kilometres. Updated data will be available in the 2012 report card. Baseline: 7,140 vehicle kilometres travelled (2006) Source: ABS, Census of Population and Households; Survey of Motor Vehicle Use Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 4—PROVIDING FOR A GROWING POPULATION Provide for an additional 560,000 people over 30 years. (Target A, page 90) Performance Commentary Population change per annum An expected increase of 560,000 people over the next 30 years equates to an average annual population increase of about 18,600. The average annual population growth rate rose steadily between 2006 and 2009, and despite a slight decline in the growth rate in 2010 is proceeding at predicted levels. Number of people (thousands) 25 20 15 Updated data, based on the 2011 Census, will be available for the 2012 report card. This will enable baselining of population targets for each government region within Greater Adelaide. 10 5 0 2006 Population, GAR 2007 2008 Year (at 30 June) Target 2009 2010 Linear, GAR Source: DPLG, Housing and Employment Land Supply Program; ABS, Estimated Resident Population pages 10 and 11 Greater Adelaide PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 5—HOUSING MORE PEOPLE Plan for net growth of 258,000 dwellings over 30 years, or an annual average construction target of around 10,100 dwellings a year (allowing for dwellings lost due to demolition). (Target A, page 96) Performance Commentary Dwelling change per annum Average annual net dwelling growth has tracked at about 8,000 a year since 2006 — below the average annual net dwelling growth of 8,600 required to meet the 258,000 dwellings required over 30 years. Number of dwellings (thousands) 10 9 8 7 6 The slowing of construction in 2010–11 reflects the effects of the ongoing global financial crisis. It is likely to be cyclical in nature and residential construction is expected to increase in the medium term. 5 4 3 2 1 0 2006 Dwelling, GAR 2007 2008 2009 Year (at 30 June) Target 2010 2011 Full details of housing growth for each government region within Greater Adelaide can be accessed from the annual report of the Housing and Employment Land Supply Program. Linear, GAR Source: DPLG, Housing and Employment Land Supply Program Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 6—EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO RENT OR BUY A HOME At least 30 per cent of new housing is available at competitive house prices to ensure affordability. (Target C, page 96; SASP Target 7) Performance Commentary Percentage of dwelling sales in South Australia that are affordable for low and moderate income households (2003-04 baseline) This target has been interpreted to align with the updated target for affordable housing set out in South Australia’s Strategic Plan. 70 To be affordable, households must spend no more than 30 per cent of their income on housing. 60 per cent 50 Data for low to moderate incomes only is presented. A low to moderate income household is defined, for the purpose of home purchase, as a household with less than or equal to 120 per cent of the median household income. 40 30 20 10 Target Source: DTEI, Land Services Group valuation database pages 12 and 13 Baseline 2013-14 2011-12 2012-13 2010-11 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2004-05 Proportion of dwelling sales 2005-06 2003-04 2001-02 2002-03 2000-01 0 On this basis, the target is currently being achieved. However, with a growing population and declining fringe land supply, maintaining this performance will be challenging in future. Greater Adelaide PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 6—EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO RENT OR BUY A HOME Provide for at least 15 per cent of housing in all new significant developments to be affordable housing, including five per cent for high-needs people. (Target A, page 99) Performance Commentary The affordable housing policy requires 15 per cent affordable housing (as defined by regulation) to be provided in any developments of more than 20 dwellings within newly rezoned areas. For the 2010–11 year, there were 351 affordable housing commitments. This equates to 15.4 per cent of new dwellings provided as part of significant developments falling within the scope of the policy. Of these, 4.1 per cent were provided for high-needs housing. Since the adoption of the policy, 1,854 affordable dwellings have been committed, amounting to 18.2 per cent of the total dwellings constructed within relevant developments. Baseline: 351 affordable housing commitments Source: DFC, Affordable Housing database Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 PERFOMANCE INDICATOR 7—NEIGHBOURHOODS THAT ARE WALKABLE Closely connect new dwellings to shops, schools, local health services and a variety of destinations within 400 metres. (Target A, page 101) Performance Commentary Percentage of various facilities located within 400 metres of dwellings built in 2010 100 per cent 90 This is a necessarily complex target. The following land uses were considered suitable for this report: 80 • shops and shopping centres (55 per cent) 70 • health and medical (10 per cent) 60 • schools and educational institutions (44 per cent) 50 40 • entertainment, amusements and pubs (22 per cent) 30 • civic and cultural institutions (7 per cent) 20 • government services (6 per cent) 10 0 shops and shopping centres health and medical schools and entertainment civic and educational and cultural institutions amusement institutions Facility type government services It is clear that walkability to a number of these destinations is poor for many new dwellings constructed in 2010–11. This reflects the existing urban form which is dispersed and heavily car-dependent in many areas. Source: DTEI, Land Services Group valuation database Closely connect new dwellings to local parks within walking range. (Target B, page 101) Performance Commentary This target has been interpreted to include parks at all levels of the open space hierarchy as well as non-vegetated public space such as public plazas and beaches. Walking range is determined to mean 400 metres. Based on this interpretation, 97 per cent of new dwellings built within Greater Adelaide in 2010–11 were within 400 metres of local parks or other open space. Ongoing performance of this measure will require close monitoring. Baseline: 97 per cent (2011) Source: AGD, Tenancies Branch database pages 14 and 15 Greater Adelaide PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 8—MORE JOBS, CLOSER TO HOME Provide for 282,000 additional jobs during the next 30 years. (Target A, page 103) Performance Commentary This data is dependent on the Census cycle. Based on the last census, there were 515,772 jobs in Greater Adelaide. These were broken down as follows: • 98,540 for the City of Adelaide • 68,579 for Eastern Adelaide region (excluding the city) • 108,749 for Western Adelaide region • 96,419 for Northern Adelaide region • 89,021 for Southern Adelaide region • 19,805 for Barossa, Light and Lower North region • 24,070 for Adelaide Hills region (including Murray Bridge) • 10,589 for Fleurieu region The Greater Adelaide region does not directly align with the statistical divisions used for Census purposes. Baseline: 515,772 (2006) Source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing In future report cards, progress against this target and regionally distributed jobs targets will be monitored. Further indicators may need to be developed to provide this level of reporting. Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 9—PROVIDING LAND FOR INDUSTRY Protect 2,580 hectares of employment land for manufacturing purposes. (Target J, page 110) Performance Commentary This target has been interpreted as requiring 2,580 hectares of vacant land for industrial purposes in the Greater Adelaide region over the life of the Plan. A 15-year supply of vacant industrial zoned land equates to about 1,650 hectares. The rezoning of the Greater Edinburgh Parks and Gillman areas will provide the bulk of land for this target and should be completed in early 2012. Work has commenced on structure planning this land for rezoning. Baseline: 1,650 hectares of vacant land zoned for industrial use Source: DPLG, Housing and Employment Land Supply Program pages 16 and 17 Greater Adelaide PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 10—PROTECTING PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURAL LAND Protect up to 375,000 hectares of significant primary production areas. (Target E, page 106) Performance Commentary The Plan identifies 375,000 hectares of land as being areas of potential primary production significance. All current zones for these areas support primary production. During 2010–11 the government completed its assessment of primary production significance within Greater Adelaide. A further 95,883 hectares of land has been provisionally identified as a priority primary-production area. These will be investigated further for potential inclusion in development plans and the Plan. None of the rezoning work to date has impacted on this primary production land. As part of planning policy reform, work has commenced to develop a new rural zone to apply to these and other primary-production areas. The roll-out of this new zone will be monitored as part of future report cards. Additionally, the government has moved to provide legislative protection for the McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley wine production districts from inappropriate development. Source: DPLG, the Plan; PIRSA, Priority Primary Production Areas Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 11—CONSERVING OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT Increase the extent of functional ecosystems (coastal, estuarine, terrestrial and riparian) to 30 per cent of the region, excluding urban areas, consistent with regional NRM Plans. (Target C, page 129) Performance Commentary This is a complex target to measure. For the purpose of this report card, data is limited to ecosystem restoration works undertaken by the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges NRM Board in 2009–10. This does not include: • works undertaken by councils or other agencies • the area outside the NRM Board’s jurisidiction • marine, estuarine or riparian works. Work during 2009–10 included: • ecosystem reconstructed on 243 hectares of land, and follow-up work on an additional 39 hectares • native vegetation managed on 7,339 hectares of land, and follow-up work on 2,876 hectares. Baseline: 1.88 per cent ecosystem restoration works Source: Adelaide and Mount Lofty NRM Board, Annual Report 2009–10. Note: Does not include data for the area of Greater Adelaide covered by the SA Murray-Darling Basin NRM Board. pages 18 and 19 This amounted to 1.8 per cent of the total land outside planned urban lands outlined in the Plan. Over 30 years, this rate of progress would result in the target being met. Work is being done by the environment portfolio on a more fine-grained measurement of ecosystem functionality in addition to essential baseline work on areas of environmental significance for future planning. Greater Adelaide PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 12—BIODIVERSITY THROUGH URBAN FORESTS Assist biodiversity restoration initiatives throughout the region by supporting the establishment of urban forests, linked networks of open space, greenways, restored urban watercourses and the SA Urban Forests-Million Trees Program. Through these measures, target 300 hectares of plantings per year to achieve 7,800 hectares of plantings by 2036. Performance Commentary Information from the Million Trees Program is the only current data source available for this target. This program, which was established in 2003, achieves an average of 200 hectares of biodiversity restoration per year. Further review of this and other initiatives will need to be undertaken to ensure reconstruction of about 2,000 hectares of native vegetation by 2014 and help achieve the overall target of 7,800 hectares by 2036. In addition to the Million Trees Program’s activities, councils and local natural resources management boards also engaged in tree planting and revegetation activities. Data for these activities will be developed for future report cards. Source: DENR, Million Trees Program Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 13—OPEN SPACE FOR HEALTHY LIVING Ensure the Greater Adelaide Open Space System will consist of at least 160,000 hectares by 2012. (Target A, page 135) Performance Commentary The Greater Adelaide Open Space System (GAOSS) consists of strategic land which is: • owned by government as open space, or • zoned to preserve its open space character. Currently, of the land identified by the Plan for GAOSS, 22.15 per cent is owned by government as: • park or reserve • public space • forest land. Current zoning provides protection of the open-space character of 43.22 per cent of the land within GAOSS. The government is developing a detailed framework for GAOSS, which will outline measures to guarantee the region provides adequate and diverse open-space areas — including parks, reserves, watercourse and coastal linear parks and trails. Once finalised, this implementation will be reported on in future report cards.

(Target A, page 140) Performance Commentary The last baseline data measured for the state indicated South Australia’s carbon footprint in 2009 was 11.99 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent. This includes emissions associated with energy consumption, direct emissions from road and rail transport and direct fuel combustion by industry. Climate change modelling shows the new urban form envisaged by the Plan will contribute to an overall decline in the state’s greenhouse gas emissions. Data is not calculable for Greater Adelaide alone at this stage. Further modeling will be required to measure progress against this target in future report cards. Baseline: 11.99 megatonnes CO2 equivalent (2009) Source: Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Planning Strategy for South Australia Annual Report Card 2010–2011 Future directions Building on the achievements in implementing the Plan thus far, the major tasks to be undertaken in the coming year are summarised in Table 3. Table 3 Greater Adelaide region—future directions Structure planning Continue the roll-out of structure planning in collaboration with councils with priority to be given to finalising the Inner Metro Rim and North West Corridor structure plans and commencing the Southern and Northern Corridors. Land supply Land supply, housing consumption and population growth will be monitored and further rezonings undertaken to support housing affordability and jobs. Planning policy reform Stage 2 of planning policy reforms will review all urban zones and associated policies to ensure alignment with the Planning Strategy. As part of this process the current Adelaide city development plan will be reviewed to identify infill opportunities. Revitalising Adelaide city A series of significant initiatives for revitalising the city will come to fruition in the coming year: • a rapid review of the city’s development plan to identify early opportunities for rezoning uplilft • completion of the Integrated Design Strategy • finalisation of reports on activation of underutilised buildings within the central business district. Updating local development plans Councils in Greater Adelaide will be finalising reviews of their development plans to align them with the Plan. Transit-oriented developments Continued work on the planning and roll-out of transit-oriented developments will occur, including at key sites already underway. Improved public and open space A framework for the Greater Adelaide Open Space System will be finalised. Infrastructure Continue the roll-out of major infrastructure, including public transport upgrades, health and educational facilities. Protecting productive land Complete the process of protecting primary production land in the Barossa and McLaren Vale regions if parliament approves the government’s current proposed legislation. Protecting ecosystems Complete work on baselining areas of ecosystem significance. pages 22 and 23 Greater Adelaide How to interpret this progress report The following table summarises progress towards the targets outlined in The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide (the Plan). For ease of reference, each target is assigned a sequential number which is cross-referenced against the page and target number in the Plan. How progress is reported For each target, an assessment is included. This is explained below— > achieved or exceeded = on track < needs improvement Commentary is also provided on each target. Assessment and commentary is based on information provided by government agencies represented on the Government Planning and Coordination Committee (GPCC) or derived from other publicly available data sources. Targets which cannot be measured yet Progress against some targets cannot be reported on in this report card. This is due to data being unavailable or targets being longterm in nature. Where reporting against a target has been deferred, the target appears in lightercoloured text and a reason for the deferred reporting is given. Region-based targets for population, dwellings and jobs are not included in this report card. This is because they are considered to be longer-term targets, with incomplete or no new data at this stage. They will be considered on a five-yearly basis. Land supply and dwelling production is monitored annually for each region as part of the Housing and Employment Land Supply Program.
