Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016

The

Minister, CGO or a person or body interested in the provision or delivery of primary infrastructure (a proponent) may initiate a scheme in relation to the provision of primary infrastructure in a declared project area or designated growth area.

A scheme will be initiated by the Minister, CGO or proponent (as the case may be) preparing a draft outline of the scheme that—

provides information about the nature and intended scope of the primary infrastructure; and

identifies the proposed declared project area or designated growth area (as the case requires), being the area or areas that will benefit from the primary infrastructure to be provided under the proposed scheme; and

provides information about the proposed timing or staging of the various elements of the scheme (to the extent such information is known); and

outlines, so far as is reasonably practicable, a funding arrangement for the scheme, including whether it is proposed to impose a charge under

Subdivision 7; and

in the case of a scheme relating to a declared project—identifies any proposed amendments to the Planning and Design Code that may be made in connection with the declared project (including the provision of primary infrastructure under the scheme); and

identifies (to the extent possible) any primary infrastructure that might be transferred to another entity when the scheme has been completed; and

provides such other information as the Minister, CGO or proponent thinks fit (as the case requires).

The person or body responsible for preparing a draft outline must—

in all cases—take reasonable steps to consult on the draft outline with—

the owners of land within the proposed declared project area or designated growth area (as the case requires), except—

in a case where that area is the subject of a precinct master plan under the Urban

Renewal Act 1995;

or

in prescribed circumstances; and

if the scheme relates to a declared project—the person undertaking the declared project; and

the council within whose area the proposed declared project area or designated growth area (as the case requires) is situated, and may consult with any other person or body as they think fit; and

in the case of a draft outline prepared by a proponent, submit the draft outline to the Minister or CGO (as determined by the Minister) for approval, together with—

a report to the Minister or CGO (as the case requires) setting out the outcome of the consultation required under paragraph (a);

and

any other information required by the Minister or CGO (as the case requires).

After consultation on a draft outline prepared by the Minister or CGO, or approval of a draft outline prepared by a proponent, the Minister or

CGO (as the case requires) must cause the draft outline to be—

notified in the Gazette; and

published on the SA planning portal.

After publishing a draft outline, the Minister or CGO (as the case requires) must then refer the proposed scheme to the Chief Executive for the appointment of a scheme coordinator.
