Have your say: Dublin Employment Code Amendment

Leinad Land Developments (Dublin) Pty Ltd (‘Leinad’) are proposing to rezone land to the south of the township of Dublin on the Northern Adelaide Plains of Greater Adelaide from ‘Rural Zone’ to the ‘Strategic Employment Zone’.

This rezoning will support the future growth of the region and state’s economy, and will support Leinad’s vision to create South Australia’s first Green Circular Economy Precinct.

Investigations have identified that the land has attractive attributes for larger scale, low intensity uses aligned with circular economy processes, the renewable energy sector, defence and manufacturing as well as transport uses hauling long, wide or high freight using Port Wakefield Highway.

The Affected Area’s location leverages from:

• close proximity to Adelaide to service a metropolitan customer base, draw on skilled workers and access materials, transport companies and other industrial support services
• Port Wakefield Road accommodating B-Double and Road Train Access and nearby rail corridors with loading facilities (Intermodal Freight Terminals at Bowmans and Penfield)
• the growing regional population including projected growth in the Adelaide Plains local government area and the Adelaide Plains Council highlighted need for more local employment
• strong linkages to the agricultural sector of the Northern Plains, renewable energy and infrastructure projects of regional South Australia (to the north & west), and defence contracts and related work.

The whole of the Affected Area is currently located in the Rural Zone. This Code Amendment proposes to rezone 630 hectares of land within the Affected Area (not the whole of the Affected Area) to the Strategic Employment Zone that will include 436 hectares of land for future employment uses with the balance of the land providing buffer areas and an interface buffer to the Conservation Zone to the west.
