The Far North is South Australia’s largest geographical region, covering more than 80% of the state’s land mass. Its sparsely settled landscape spans from the remote Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, to the awe-inspiring, ancient Ikara-Flinders Ranges. Featuring most of the state’s valuable mineral resources, the region is also at the forefront of renewable energy projects, generating over a quarter of the state’s daily energy needs.
The Far North Regional Plan was adopted by the Minister for Planning in January 2026 following extensive community engagement led by the State Planning Commission. Input from local councils, businesses, and residents was gathered through workshops, surveys and consultation, helping to shape the Plan to reflect regional priorities and needs.
