Description South Australian Government Regions facilitate the planning, monitoring and service delivery of government functions. The new regions align to whole Local Government boundaries, with only one exception out of 68 Councils, with the separation of Enfield from within the Port Adelaide Enfield Council.
Dataset Use The adoption of uniform South Australian Government Regions directly supports the ability to provide regionalised targets within the South Australian Strategic Plan (SASP) (Target 5.7). The use of uniform regions promotes improved collaboration, planning and greater consistency through Local and State government agencies, by focusing on regional infrastructure planning (T1.16, T5.11), resourcing and reporting on SASP targets. The provision of uniform regions across all Departments provides a basis for improving public sector productivity (T1.18) and timely and transparent decision-making (T1.19). The implementation of the South Australian Government Regions will enable the State Government to improve the usage of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) investment in data collection, five-yearly census and annual reporting. Note that the regions extent past the coastline and cover SA coastal waters. Based upon the 18 October 2010 Cabinet decision, ongoing management of the SAGR will be undertaken by the Department of Premier and Cabinet. The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure will retain responsibility for technical and spatial support.
