Strathalbyn Development Plan Amendment

Alexandrina Council is updating its Development Plan via the Strathalbyn Township & Environs Development Plan Amendment (DPA) to help protect and strengthen the unique charm and heart of Strathalbyn.

During 2013-14 Council consulted with the community and business sector on the preparation of the Strathalbyn Town Plan. An important next step in implementing the Town Plan is amending policies, which control and influence future development in and around Strathalbyn.

The policy changes in this Development Plan Amendment (DPA) will affect four key areas: the District Centre, Adelaide Road Land, Lot 10 Langhorne Creek Road and the Industry Zone centred around Milnes Road.

Supporting Investigations 

To support development of the DPA, Council engaged the following consultants to undertake a number of investigations:

Concept Plan for Lot 10, Langhorne Creek Road – awarded to Tredwell Management. This investigation explored how Council land at Lot 10 Langhorne Creek Road should be rezoned and developed to accommodate a range of recreational and community uses. Concept Plan Report Strathalbyn District Centre Traffic, Car Parking & Streetscape Plan – awarded to MRCagney Pty Ltd. In collaboration with Jensen PLUS, this investigation has produced a traffic, parking and streetscape strategy for the town centre, focusing on the design of public places, linkages between High Street and Dawson Street and improving safety for all users.
