Community Engagement Charter

Providing greater opportunities for South Australians to influence how we live, work and move in our urban and rural areas

In the past, many people’s first interaction with the planning system was when a new house or other form of development was built near them, without an understanding of the planning policy that enabled this to occur.

The new Community Engagement Charter will change this by increasing understanding of the planning system by inviting the community input on planning policies that will shape the places they value.

On 1 July 2019,  Phase One of the new planning system became operational in outback areas. The Community Engagement Charter must be used when initiating an amendment to an operational statutory instrument.
