Barossa growth and character planning

Consultation has concluded

The Barossa Council is planning for future growth and preservation of the region’s rural character and wants the community’s input.

The Growth and Infrastructure Investment Strategy will consider what areas are best suited to accommodate residential, commercial and industrial growth, as well as what infrastructure is needed to support growth.

Rural character and heritage are important considerations in how the region can grow. As such Council has undertaken a review of State Government planning rules that apply across the Barossa Character Preservation District. The review identified potential changes to the Barossa Character Preservation District planning rules to better conserve the Barossa’s rural character whilst allowing for regional growth, including consideration of the Concordia growth area.

Discussion papers have been prepared for the Growth and Infrastructure Investment Strategy and the Barossa Character Preservation District Review and highlight key considerations for both.

Council now wants to know what is important to the community. Where do you think growth (eg. housing, industry) should go? What infrastructure is needed to support growth? And where does character and heritage need to be protected and how? Do you have any feedback on the discussion papers?
