Project Information
We asked for feedback on the proposed changes to the Encroachment Policy. This Policy if adopted, will supersede the Encroachment Policy adopted by Council in February 2020.
Feedback from the community will be used to inform the final Encroachment Policy.
Background
In February 2020, Council adopted the Encroachment Policy. The Policy is now due for further review. The Policy was developed to manage different forms of encroachments in the public realm and ensure that encroachments contribute positively on public safety and amenity, and supports the applications of the Planning and Design Code in maintaining Adelaide’s strong identifiable townscape character through strong urban form and well-defined built form edges to the street frontage.
The Policy provides the basis for Council’s assessment and decision making on encroachments in the public realm as land custodian of public roads.
The draft Encroachment Policy was approved by Council on 14 November 2023 for the purpose of community consultation.
The following diagram illustrates typical encroachments and outlines where more information can be found in the Draft Encroachment Policy.
