Each region in South Australia has a plan to guide development and fulfil the vision of the State Planning Policies.
Regional plans set the direction for future planning and development of South Australia.

Country regional plans
The State Planning Commission, with support from Planning and Land Use, is preparing six new country regional plans for the following areas:
- Kangaroo Island
- Yorke Peninsula and Mid North
- Eyre and Western
- Far North
- Limestone Coast
- Murray Mallee.
These plans will help shape the future of our regions by identifying land use and long-term infrastructure needs to support sustainable growth over the next 15 to 30 years.
Community engagement
Each plan will go through a 12-week formal consultation period, as required by the Community Engagement Charter. This ensures the process is:
- genuine and inclusive
- respectful and transparent
- tailored to each community
- informed and continuously improved
After engagement, a report will be prepared for each region and published on the PlanSA website. These reports, along with the final plans, will be provided to the Minister for Planning for approval in late 2025.
Greater Adelaide Regional Plan
The Greater Adelaide Regional Plan was released on 17 March 2025, setting the vision for how our city and regions will grow sustainably over the next 15 to 30 years. The Plan identifies future housing and employment land needs while ensuring Greater Adelaide remains a vibrant, liveable, and prosperous place for generations to come.
Developed in collaboration with councils, industry, and the community, the Plan responds to key challenges such as housing supply, climate resilience, and infrastructure planning.
Visit the Regional Planning Program website to explore the Plan and learn more about its vision for Greater Adelaide’s future.
