One of South Australia’s growth areas is about to grow some more, with 350 new homes to be built north of Gawler.

The State Government has approved a code amendment to rezone a 28.81ha allotment on the corner of Twartz Rd and Redbanks Rd in Gawler Belt from the Rural Zone to the Master Planned Neighbourhood Zone.

The approval paves the way for the private proponent to provide approximately 350 allotments as part of a low to medium density residential development.

The development includes the coordinated delivery of infrastructure in conjunction with adjoining developments surrounding the area and Light Regional Council.

The code amendment was first initiated in 2021 but required new infrastructure deeds to be secured to ensure the future delivery of stormwater infrastructure, social infrastructure and traffic infrastructure.

Now the land has been rezoned, the property owners can begin detailed Master Plan design work before submitting development applications.

Light Regional Council CEO Richard Dodson said that the approval of the code amendment "will now see this previously excluded parcel of land logically included in the remaining Roseworthy Township Expansion growth area".

"The approval and inclusion of this early in the development has ensured that future infrastructure will be delivered efficiently and timely and will seamlessly integrate with the adjacent development that is well underway," Mr Dodson said.

"The growth area is also proving to be an extremely popular suburb for people to call home with over 460 allotments already delivered and just over 1000 allotments approved for development.

"Once completed, the Roseworthy Township Expansion area is anticipated to have over 3000 dwellings and these additional allotments will add to the housing choice available right on the edge of the Barossa and yet under an hour from the CBD."
