The State Planning Commission has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Local Government Association of South Australia (LGA) to work together collaboratively through the Regional Planning Program.
Chair of the State Planning Commission, Craig Holden said the MoU would establish a framework for a relationship between the LGA and the Commission.
“The MoU will see the State Planning Commission and the LGA cement the ongoing and constructive working relationship, enabling the LGA to collaborate with and provide input to the Commission on the Regional Planning Program,” Mr Holden said.
Chief Executive Officer of the LGA, Clinton Jury said the strong working relationship with the Commission and the ability to work closely on the Regional Planning Program would help shape the vision for planning and development needs of regional SA.
“The LGA will work alongside councils and the Commission on the development of regional plans which give greater understanding of the Regional Planning Program at the local level and importantly will enable councils to provide ideas for their local communities into the plans,” Mr Jury said.
The Regional Planning Program consists of seven planning regions, covering the entire state of South Australia, and provides long term visions of 15 to 30 years including provisions about the integration of land use, transport infrastructure and the public realm.
