6. Planning approval
In South Australia development of land for use in a PPP may be subject to local government planning and approval regulations or to the requirements of the Development Act 1993 (SA). Section 46 of the Act provides mechanism for approval of developments or projects that are determined to be of major environmental, social or economic importance. Section 49 of the Act provides mechanism for approval of Crown developments and public infrastructure.
The private party will be responsible to obtain all necessary approvals, irrespective of which development approval process applies.
