Description

DescriptionThe Environment and Food Production Areas (EFPA) were introduced in April 2017, as part of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016, to generally protect our valuable food producing and rural areas as well as conserving natural landscapes and environmental resources within certain areas in Greater Adelaide. The controls of the EFPA primarily precludes the division of land for the purpose of creating additional allotments for residential development. Review of the EFPA is conducted every 5 years, with minor variations made to the boundaries of the EFPA in 2022, gazetted 27 October 2022. Refer to GRO Map G28/2022.
UsageThe Environment and Food Production Areas have been introduced to: a) protect our valuable food producing and rural areas as well as conserving our prized natural landscapes, and tourism and environmental resources; b) support our sustainable growth and encourage the building of new homes in our existing urban footprint where supporting infrastructure already exists; c) provide more certainty to food and wine producers as well as developers on the direction of future development in metropolitan Adelaide.
