The Yorke Peninsula Council Edithburgh Town and Surrounds Development Plan Amendment (DPA) has been prepared by Council under the provisions of the Development Act 1993 and is now available for comment.

The draft DPA reviews the zoning of the township of Edithburgh and the immediately surrounding area.

The DPA proposes a number of zoning amendments to land within and immediately adjoining the township and the introduction of policy to address stormwater flooding issues.

Key amendments include:

• Extending the Residential zone
• Reducing the extent of the Rural Living zone and reducing minimum allotment area requirements in the remaining area
• Introducing a Development Constraints map identifying flood prone areas and associated policy recommending minimum finished floor levels
• Introducing a Mixed Use zone to allow light industrial and commercial development

The draft DPA will be available for public inspection from Thursday, 28 July 2016 until Friday, 30 September 2016 during normal office hours at the Yorke Peninsula Council offices located at Maitland (8 Elizabeth Street), Minlaton (18 Main Street), Yorketown (15 Edithburgh Road), and Warooka (Player Street) as well as being available for download below:
