The Renmark Paringa Council Township Growth Strategy identifies the current supply of residential, employment and commercial land and identifies how our townships can grow over the next 15 to 30 years.
The Growth Strategy sets clear Growth Objectives and Strategies to guide growth and achieve our shared vision, as expressed by the CommunityPlan2024-2034:
In order to plan for growth, we must also plan for infrastructure. The Growth Strategy provides a plan for infrastructure provision and associated responsibilities, ensuring there is a clear road map for the Council and developers.
Purpose
The Growth Strategy will be used to inform:
• Council decision making and investment regarding future rezoning proposals;
• infrastructure investment decisions;
• decisions around the use of community land and assets;
• sending a clear message to the community and private sector about priorities for the region; and
• assisting the State Planning Commission and the South Australian Government who are updating the Murray and Mallee Regional Plan.
The Growth Strategy will provide a clear plan that can be adapted over time. Like all plans, it will need to evolve to respond to changes at the local, state, national and global level, and therefore is intended to be regularly updated as circumstances change.
Alignment with our Community Plan
Our community vision for Renmark Paringa is to leverage our unique attributes and address our challenges, supported by these four aspirations.
Community Aspirations
Environment
A place that is resilient to the effects of extreme weather, protects its river, is green and limits its impact on the natural environment.
Leadership

How the Growth Strategy was prepared
Preparation of the Growth Strategy has occurred over a 12-month period and has been informed by:
• a land supply report;
• development rates, trends and demands;
• population and economic trends;
• the Infrastructure and Asset Management Plan;
• various other Council plans and strategies (refer to page 8);
• changes in legislation and policies;
• environmental considerations and opportunities;
• engagement with industry;
• early input from the community;
• infrastructure upgrades occurring within the Council area and region;
• regional planning occurring at State Government level; and
• current issues influencing:
» Australia (i.e. interest rates);
» the State (i.e. the housing Crisis);
» the Region (i.e. floods);
» the Council (i.e. ageing population); and
» local areas (i.e. infrastructure capacity).
Initial consultation was undertaken for a period of 21 days, from 8 May 2024 until 29 May 2024 to seek the community’s early input into the preparation of the Growth Strategy.
Consultation was undertaken in the form of an online survey which was distributed and promoted through various methods, including:
• e-Newsletter and direct mail;
• social media channels;
• media (print and radio);
• website and engage RPC website;
• staff; and
• Elected Members.
A total of 67 survey responses and two emailed submissions were received during the consultation period. The majority of respondents (79%) were owner occupiers within the Renmark Paringa Council area.
What We Heard
- Initial Consultation
Challenges/roadblocks to development:
• length of time it takes to get necessary approvals or planning information;
• the cost to develop, including the provision of infrastructure;
• confusion over the planning system, development application process and development requirements; and
• the inability to develop within the existing planning controls/ zoning.
Infrastructure and public space upgrades:
• upgrading public facilities;
• child care facilities;
• attracting tertiary education providers like universities;
• retail upgrades and expansion;
• sealed roads and safe footpaths;
• parking spaces around shopping precincts;

The Growth Strategy is a key strategic document that supports our Community Plan and will be instrumental in us achieving our Prosperous Community Aspiration.
Whilst the Economic Development Strategy seeks to deliver a strong and sustainable economy built on diversifying our established industries and attracting new industries and investment, the Growth Strategy seeks to plan for our expected growth from a land use and infrastructure provision perspective.
It is important to recognise that the strategies and actions contained in the Growth Strategy do not stand alone from broader policy and strategic considerations and themes. There are a range of strategic documents and plans that influence this strategy.

Strategic Documents Regional Context
The Renmark Paringa Council is one of three Councils within the Riverland of South Australia. The other Riverland Councils, Berri Barmera Council and the District Council of Loxton Waikerie have both prepared their own Growth Strategies. All three Councils promote economic development and seek to grow their respective communities across the Riverland.
The Growth Strategy complements the other Councils’ Growth Strategies, and they will all inform the development of a new Regional Plan, being prepared by the State Government.
What is a Regional Plan?
The State Planning Commission is currently preparing regional plans for South Australia.
These plans include:
• a long-term vision (over a 15-to-30-year period) for the region including provisions about the integration of land use, transport, infrastructure, and the public realm.
• maps and plans that relate to the long-term vision.
• contextual information about the region or area, including forward projections and statistical data and analysis.
• recommendations about the application and operation of the Planning and Design Code; and
• a framework for the public realm or infrastructure within the region or area.
The preparation of the Growth Strategy also has regard for other relevant regional, state and national plans including: State Planning Policies
These State Planning Policies (SPPs) are the highest order policy document in South Australia’s planning system. They outline matters of importance to the state in land use planning and development and provide a policy environment aimed at enhancing our livability, sustainability and prosperity.
The Growth Strategy seeks to achieve many of the SPPs. The following policies are of particular relevance:
• an adequate supply of land (well serviced by infrastructure) is available that can accommodate housing and employment growth over the relevant forecast period;
• provide an orderly sequence of land development that enables the cost-effective and timely delivery of infrastructure investment commensurate with the rate of future population growth;
• a well-designed, diverse and affordable housing supply that responds to population growth and projections and the evolving demographic, social, cultural and lifestyle needs of our current and future communities;
• the growth of regional centres and towns within the existing footprint or outside towns where there is demonstrated demand, and the land is serviced with infrastructure; and
• enable opportunities for employment and encourage development of underutilised lands connected to, and integrated with, housing, infrastructure, transport, and essential services.
Strategic Documents
The Murray and Mallee Regional Plan
The existing Murray and Mallee Region Plan identifies Renmark as an important regional centre. The Regional Plan is currently being updated and will spatially map the South Australian Government’s long-term vision for growth in the Murray and Mallee Region. Regional plans play a significant role in identifying land and long-term infrastructure needs to support sustainable growth within the region. It will highlight how these important changes can be accommodated over a 15 to 30-year period, by investigating and guiding:
• where houses and employment land will go;
• how housing and population will be serviced;
• what infrastructure is needed and how it will be provided; and
• different growth scenarios (and implications for these scenarios).
The new Regional Plan is expected to reinforce Renmark’s role as a regional centre. It is important that the Growth Strategy identifies housing and employment growth over a 15-30 year period and the infrastructure needed to support this growth.
This information will be used to inform the new Regional Plan which is being prepared by the State Government.
Infrastructure SA 20-Year State Infrastructure Strategy
Infrastructure SA provides independent advice to government to enable informed and evidence-based decisions on infrastructure planning, investment, delivery and optimisation.
The inaugural 20-Year Strategy set out a statewide, long-term strategic direction and initial priorities for infrastructure development in South Australia, to be built upon in future iterations.
Infrastructure SA is now preparing the next 20-Year State Infrastructure Strategy. The new strategy will look at state-wide infrastructure needs to 2045, with a focus on infrastructure planning and investments that drive a growing economy aligned to the State’s economic vision of a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy.
The Growth Strategy sets a long-term growth vision which is used to inform infrastructure investment driven by the State Government. Identification of growth plays a key role in determining the need for large infrastructure projects.
Regional Development
Australia
The Regional Blueprint 2023
This state-wide regional investment pipeline is published annually by RDSA and compiles the investment intentions of the public and private sectors over the next five-year period. The 2023 Blueprint outlines $62.56 billion investment pipeline across regional South Australia. The Blueprint contains several Regional Priorities specific to the Murraylands & Riverland Region.
The Growth Strategy aims to facilitate delivery of the Regional Priorities, particularly in relation to taking a long-term strategic view to planning and being prepared and proactive. Being proactive about growth leads to better planned outcomes and ensures infrastructure provision aligns with development happening on the ground.
Regional Development South Australia
Infrastructure Prioritisation 2023-2024
The primary purpose of this Infrastructure prioritisation is to provide a summary of priority projects, their likely impacts on South Australia and what resources are required to deliver these projects. By conducting this prioritisation process, RDSA aims to encourage public and private investment in those projects that will yield real and lasting benefits for the State. Projects are selected which have demonstrated strong performance in terms of their strategic fit, their expected economic, social and environmental impacts and their deliverability.
The Growth Strategy details projected and future growth which is used in identifying and justifying required infrastructure projects to support future population and industries.
Code Amendments
A Code Amendment (or ‘rezoning’) is a proposal to change the policies or spatial mapping within the Planning and Design Code, which changes the way future developments are assessed. Code Amendments must be prepared according to certain processes set out by legislation.
A Code Amendment may be sought by various entities, including Councils. A person with an interest in the land (i.e. a landowner) may also seek to rezone land. This is commonly referred to as a privately-led Code Amendment.
Any rezoning proposal within the Council area must align with the Growth Strategy and the Murray Mallee Regional Plan. The Growth Strategy provides a good indication about which rezoning proposals will be supported by Council and which rezonings will not through the Growth Strategies and mapping.
The Murray and Mallee Regional Plan is being updated by the South Australian Government and is intended to be reviewed every five years. The Regional Plan will be delivered via a fully digital, interactive platform and will identify land earmarked for future rezonings.
This Growth Strategy identifies land for future rezonings and the intent is for these sites to be identified in the Regional Plan. The Growth Strategy is therefore an important document for guiding growth and future Code Amendments within our Council area.

What it means for the Growth Strategy:
• Strong demand for housing is having an impact on housing affordability.
• An ageing population will require tailored housing and services.
• Historical growth is exceeding the high growth scenario set by the State Government. Future growth may therefore exceed the high growth scenario population projections, increasing risk that Council and other stakeholders are not adequately planning for growth.
• There is a continued loss of young adults moving away from the Council area.

The 2022-23 Murray River Flood
has had significant impacts on the Murraylands and Riverland economy and people. Unsurprisingly, the agriculture and tourism industries were the worst impacted.
Murraylands and Riverland economy and people + Agriculture Tourism
A number of initiatives were launched to assist in the flood recovery including:
• On-farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme
• River Murray Flood Primary Producer Recovery Grants
• River Murray Floods Primary Production Irrigation Grants
• River Murray Flood Resilience Code Amendment
• Rise Up for our River marketing campaign and the River Revival Voucher program.
Recent local projects of significance to the economy include:
St Francis of Assisi College ($6 million investment); Almondco Processing Facility ($28 million investment); 23rd Street Distillery ($6.6 million investment); Renmark Riverfront Precinct revitalisation ($14 million investment); Renmark Village retail renewal ($10.5 million investment); and Jane Eliza Development (forecasted $141 million investment).
• Low levels of Bachelor Degrees are reflective of the high level of school leavers heading elsewhere to study and a comparatively small number of higher skill jobs in the local economy. 30 June2022
What it means for the Growth Strategy:
• There is a heavy reliance on the agriculture and tourism industries.
• Income to housing cost ratios are low, meaning the Council area has a high degree of affordable housing, however, affordability is decreasing.
Hard Infrastructure
Hard Infrastructure within the Council area is managed by a range of authorities. These are summarised below.
Wastewater – A Community Wastewater Management System (CWMS) exists within Renmark and Paringa. This is managed by the Council. Where a CWMS does not exist, wastewater is managed by on-site wastewater management systems.
Stormwater – A formal stormwater drain network exists within Renmark, Paringa and Lyrup. This is managed by the Council.
Roads – All public roads are managed by the Council, with the exception of Sturt Highway, Ral Ral Avenue and Renmark Avenue which are State maintained roads.
Potable Water – SA Water mains exist in Renmark and Paringa. Where water mains do not exist, private rainwater tanks are used.
Electricity – SA Power Networks supply and manage underground and overhead electricity infrastructure within the Council area.
Having appropriate infrastructure to provide potable water, wastewater disposal, stormwater management, communications and electricity is essential to support the local economy, residential development and future growth. The integration of land use, transport and infrastructure is a key consideration for this Growth Strategy and is both a challenge and opportunity for us to deliver our vision for the community.
Irrigation Water – The Renmark Irrigation Trust owns a network of irrigation supply lines within Renmark and Paringa. Council also owns some recycled wastewater mains which are largely used to irrigate public open space.
NBN – Has coverage across the Council area.
Capacity of existing infrastructure is discussed in the Growth Management section of the Growth Strategy.
Hard Infrastructure
The following infrastructure projects influence our Growth Strategy and will also assist in achieving our vision.
Regional Transport Projects
Sturt Highway upgrade between Renmark and Gawler, as part of the Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) program. The Australian and South Australian governments have committed $87.5 million to improve this section of the transport network through the region and improve connection with neighbouring regions. The Sturt Highway is a major road freight route through our region and is our most critical transport route.
Truro Freight Route - a freight route to ensure heavy vehicles can bypass the Truro township along with a new alignment of Sturt Highway over Accommodation Hill which will improve travel to and from the region. This project is currently on hold.
Investigation of the South Australian Highway High Productivity Vehicle Freight Network Access will improve connectivity and support economic development. Our most important industry is agriculture, namely growing citrus fruits and wine grapes, and having an appropriate freight network is essential as it relies on the ability of heavy vehicles to access our region.
Government Road Upgrade
Government Road represents a strategic freight route from Airport Road to Ral Ral Avenue which links to the Calperum Industrial Estate and builds on our objective of removing heavy transport from the Renmark town centre. The upgrade of Government Road caters for future traffic demands and to support the safe transportation of heavy freight vehicles.
Renmark Wastewater Treatment Plant
An upgrade of the Renmark Wastewater Treatment Plant will enable the system to run more efficiently and will also increase the capacity of the system, enabling the future population growth of our community

Community Facilities and Social Infrastructure
Infrastructure Australia defines social and community infrastructure as follows:
“Social infrastructure is comprised of the facilities, spaces, services and networks that support the quality of life and wellbeing of our communities. It helps us to be happy, safe and healthy, to learn, and to enjoy life. The network of social infrastructure contributes to social identity, inclusion and cohesion and is used by all Australians at some point in their lives, often on a daily basis. Access to high-quality, affordabl e social services has a direct impact on the social and economic wellbeing of all Australians.”
There are many benchmarks that have been formulated which aim to determine if a community has enough social and community infrastructure. Regional towns will often not align with standard benchmarks as certain community infrastructure may not be viable for a smaller community. However, the following benchmarks are provided as a rough guide to determine where services may be needed.
Community infrastructure which is the responsibility of Council is highlighted in grey. Other community infrastructure and services are generally provided by the State Government or private organisations. Council can advocate for new facilities and services through incentives and lobbying.
A room generally able to be hired or used by the public for meetings and functions.
A building containing collections of books and other items for borrowing by the public.
Centre for the care of children in early stage of growth/ development.
An educational program delivered to children in the year before they start fulltime school.
Provides care before and/or after school and/or during vacation time.
Educational facilities for students between ages 12 and 18. Year 7 to year 12 schooling.

Public Realm
The public realm provides a setting for community life and includes the everyday spaces that are used by people to socialise, play, work, shop, travel and use for activities such as exercise.
High quality public realms can increase the use of public space and support associated business, encourage greater participation in community activities and encourage personal safety. High quality public realm also attracts visitors and new residents to a town or district.
The Riverland is renowned for the quality of its public spaces and the exemplary way in which townships are presented. This is a source of pride for both our workforce and the community.
Our commitment to improving the amenity of our public realm is highlighted by the following projects.
Urban Design Framework - Renmark CBD
The Urban Design Framework (UDF) was commissioned by Council in 2016. It was developed based on a comprehensive community engagement process culminating in the UDF being adopted by Council in June 2017.
The UDF establishes an overarching vision for Renmark’s town centre and nearby areas. It is designed to help facilitate high-quality, innovative, and sustainable urban design and to address future challenges while enhancing the community’s quality of life and economic prosperity.
Aside from creating a vibrant place for people to congregate, the UDF will deliver tangible economic and social benefits to the region.
The following stages have already been implemented/commenced:
• Taylor Riverfront Precinct;
• Fifteenth Street Car Park;
• Renmark Wharf Upgrade; and
• 180 Murray Street (old Westpac site).
Paringa Place Plan
The Paringa Place Plan aims to beautify and upgrade the main street precinct in Paringa. The project will be completed in stages and Council have sought feedback from the community on multiple occasions to inform the final designs. The first stage of construction began in mid2024.
Darnley Taylor Park Master Plan
Darnley Taylor Park is an important and large open space on the direct route into the heart of Renmark that includes strong historical ties for the community as well as a focus for youth recreation and as such displays a definable ‘sense of place’ for the region.
A Master Plan has been prepared for Darnley Taylor Park which proposes high level concepts and develops the ideas into considered designs. Council has implemented parts of the Master Plan and will look to incorporate future upgrades into the long-term financial plan.
Greening Renmark Paringa
The Greening Renmark Paringa document proposes a methodology for making successful tree species selection. This document is the first stage to creating a methodology that forms a coherent link between design considerations and implementation by setting out the optimum characteristics of street and open space trees, options for layout within streets, critical considerations in the selection process and best practice techniques for implementation. The plan also includes a multi year planting program that details where additional trees will be planted each year, demonstrating Council’s commitment to maintaining and improving canopy cover for its urban areas.
Zoning
The Planning and Design Code (the Code) is the single source of planning policy in South Australia. An overview of the zones and policies that apply within the Council area are provided below.
Residential
Residential land is the land zoned for residential use. The following zones allow for residential uses:
• Neighbourhood Zone;
• Rural Neighbourhood Zone;
• Golf Course Estate Zone; and
• Township Zone.
The Township Zone is a multi-use zone which facilitates residential, commercial and employment type uses.
Each Zone contains guiding policies about the types of dwellings and densities anticipated in the Zone. These are summarised in the following table.
Renmark Neighbourhood Zone (outer areas)
Renmark Neighbourhood Zone (inner areas)
Detached 400sqm
Semi-Detached 300sqm

Employment / Commercial
Employment land is the land that is zoned to allow for employment uses. Employment uses typically include the following:
• Shops, including bulky goods outlet;
• Retail fuel outlet;
• Industry (Strategic Employment Zone);
• Light industry;
• Motor repair station;
• Service Trade Premises;
• Store; and
• Warehouse.
The following zones allow for employment uses:
• Employment Zone;
• Strategic Employment Zone; and
• Employment (Bulk Handling) Zone.
Commercial land is the land that is zoned to allow for business, retail and entertainment uses. Commercial uses typically include the following:
• Shops;
• Retail fuel outlet;
• Consulting room/office;
• Hotel;
• Health facility; and
• Service trade premises.
The following zones allow for commercial uses:
• Suburban Activity Centre Zone;
• Suburban Main Street Zone;
• Township Activity Centre; and
• Township Zone.
Residential and Employment Land Supply
Council has undertaken a Land Supply and Demand Analysis to inform the Growth Strategy.
Land supply relates to land which is zoned but is currently vacant or underutilised, meaning it is not currently used in accordance with its zoned use
Overview
Approved 137 residential allotments
Jane Eliza Development 700 allotments
174 hectares of residentially zoned land
138 hectares of underutilised Strategic Employment Land
8 hectares underutilised Employment Land
Development application numbers range from 143 to 232 per annum
Residential
Total Underutilised
Zoned Land Areas (hectares)
per annum
The 5-year average dwelling approvals are 45 per annum. Over 80% of these are in Renmark.
The highest number of dwelling approvals in a single year was 55. The number of dwelling approvals may increase pending the delivery of the Jane Eliza development.
Despite the minimum site area sizes that exist within the Code, the average size allotments being created in Renmark and Paringa Neighbourhood Zones are approximately 700 square metres and the larger estates are approximately 9 dwellings per hectare (gross).
Residential land capacity has been estimated by calculating the amount of underutilised or vacant land by the expected dwelling density, while factoring in discounts for open space and infrastructure, this is summarised in the following table:
Deduct Open Space
Provision (12.5%)
Area (hectares)
Balance Area (hectares)
Divide Assumed
Average Lot Size (square metres)
Approved Lots
Jane Eliza Estate
Deduct Roads and Stormwater Area (20%) (hectares) Total Lots
A further 500+ allotments could be accommodated within the Renmark West Rural Neighbourhood Zone if the CWMS was extended to this area.
Accordingly, the existing zoned residential land supply has the capacity to accommodate a further 1,781 allotments. 45% of this supply is attributed to the Jane Eliza Estate. If all land was made available to develop, this would equate to approximately 32 years supply.
Residential and Employment Land Supply
Employment
The employment land supply can be broken down into the following areas:
• 8 hectares in the Employment Zone in Renmark; and
• 138 hectares in the Strategic Employment Zone in Old Calperum.
There have been less than 5 applications between 2019 and 2023 for employment type uses such as motor repair stations and warehousing. In summary, there is approximately 146 hectares of underutilised Strategic Employment and Employment Zoned land within the Council area.
What it means for the Growth Strategy
While there is theoretically sufficient zoned land supply for the short to medium term, the actual availability of this land is uncertain as:
• there is no requirement for a land owner to release land for development;
• land owners may have no intention to sell or develop their land; and
• even if released to market, zoned land may not be development ready due to lack of infrastructure provision.
Therefore, the identified “land supply” may not necessarily be an accurate reflection of available and developable land. The Growth Strategy provides a detailed roadmap of required infrastructure and identify actions for the Council to unlock land for development, which will assist in removing the roadblocks currently faced by developers.
Council must ensure there is adequate land supply with consideration that some landowners may not wish to develop or release their land. This may require identification of land beyond the current zoned supply.

Growth Principles
Growth Scenario Planning
9,783
We encourage and support growth which is well-planned and have set targets to facilitate population and economic growth. While the following targets are a stretch from our current situation, we believe they are achievable given the amount of growth expected to occur as a result of infrastructure upgrades and the Jane Eliza development.
To achieve our stretch growth scenario, we must also increase the number of jobs comparative to population growth. On this basis, we have set the following targets.
65 Dwelling Approvals Per Year
These targets can be achieved through delivery of our Growth Objectives, Strategies and Actions.
We will monitor development activity and actions and ensure the Growth Strategy remains current. We will seek to review the Growth Strategy every two years and make adjustments where necessary.
Growth Principles
Growth Objectives
Our Growth Objectives are what we are striving to achieve and will help guide decision making.
• GO1: There is adequate land supply for residential, employment and commercial purposes to cater for the next 15 to 30 years
• GO2: Our population continues to grow.
• GO3: We build upon and diversify our economic base.
• GO4: We encourage and support development which aligns with our Growth Strategy.
• GO5: We plan for and provide good community infrastructure and services.

Each identified growth area is associated with a series of actions to guide growth and the provision of infrastructure. The actions have been assigned a timeframe for completion. The basis for the timeframes is explained further below.
Short Term – 0-5 years – Service infrastructure is largely in place or will be funded by external sources, the growth area is being actively developed, or unlocking the area is a priority project.
Medium Term 5-15 years – Unlocking the growth area requires infrastructure investment from the Council which will need to be planned for in future budgets or seek external funding sources.
Long Term 16-30 years - Unlocking the growth area requires significant infrastructure investment from the Council which will need to be planned for in future long-term budgets or seek external funding sources.

Renmark Deferred Urban Structure Plan
Land supply within Renmark will be monitored to determine when the rezoning of the Deferred Urban Zone should occur. Council will seek to rezone this land when it is identified that there is less than 30 years of land supply. Any privately-led code amendments sought before this time should be undertaken in an orderly manner, contiguous to the Neighbourhood Zone. Privately-led code amendments should not result in patchy, incontiguous zoning and should generally be in accordance with the Structure Plan.
The River Murray Flood Plain Protection Area currently applies over the Deferred Urban land. A review of its application will be required for any rezoning of this land.

1. Renmark - Jane Eliza Estate
Located to the north-east of the Renmark CBD.
This area is largely in the Neighbourhood Zone and a Code Amendment is currently underway to extend the residential portion.
Irrigation Water
Currently there is no existing wastewater network within the proposed growth area. Due to the proposed size of this development all new infrastructure will be needed to sufficiently provide service.
A new gravity system will be required within the development, this system will fall towards a centrally located pump station and rising main network. The new pump station will need to transfer wastewater directly to Renmark’s WWTP located approximately 2,125m away on Nineteenth Street.
It is not recommended to input wastewater from this proposed development into the existing CWMS network at risk of overload.
The wastewater processing facility in Renmark is currently being upgraded and will have the capacity for this future growth.
There is an existing potable water supply through the existing Jane Eliza Development and terminates at the end of Jane Eliza Avenue. This existing main would be considered adequate to feed potable water to this proposed development area.
A new network of main lines and house connections will need to be designed and installed to distribute this service throughout the proposed growth area.
There is currently no RIT supply into or adjacent to this proposed development area.
There is currently an existing RPC Recycled Wastewater main within this growth area, this existing infrastructure can be modified to irrigate open space only, this cannot be used for private use.
Existing Telstra infrastructure is located adjacent to the proposed growth area at the end of Jane Eliza Avenue. This existing infrastructure is considered to be adequate to provide required service to this proposed development area. Infrastructure will need to be extended and distributed into the growth area from this location.
This proposed growth area currently has NBN by Fixed Line connection service at the end of Jane Eliza Avenue. This infrastructure can be extended and distributed within the proposed growth area.
There are currently two existing 11kV supplies adjacent the new development area, one supply is terminated underground at the end of Jane Elize Avenue the other supply is over head located at the end of Liba Liba Parade. The underground supply was specifically installed for future development in this area. These existing SAPN services are considered to be adequate to power this new development area.
A new underground network combining the High Voltage and new Low Voltage infrastructure will need to be extended into the growth area from the existing High Voltage main overhead infrastructure to the North. New infrastructure will need to be installed, including transformers approximately every 50 lots.
Currently the proposed access to this development area is through the existing Jane Eliza Avenue. This road will be considered adequate and was originally installed to access this additional development.
Due to the proposed size of this development, an additional access would be desired in the case of emergency. It is recommended that Gregory Way is upgraded to provide an adequate additional access into this proposed growth area.
Future development should include a stormwater management system designed to mitigate peak flows and manage the rate and duration of stormwater discharges from the site to ensure that the development does not increase the peak flows in downstream systems.
2. Renmark - Riverside Estate
Currently in the Neighbourhood Zone. Future development will represent an extension of an existing subdivision located at the end of Murray Dyer Avenue.
The wastewater system adjacent to this growth area is not considered sufficient to service expected development and will require a new pump station to be constructed within the growth area.
Wastewater from the growth area’s new pump station will need to be transferred to existing pump station 07 (Hospital), the existing Hospital pump station will need to be upgraded after 100 new dwellings have been constructed in this new area. Flow and pump station storage tank capacity at peak periods will need to be reviewed to confirm system performance once development layout is established.
The wastewater processing facility in Renmark is currently being upgraded and will have the capacity for this future growth.
There is an existing 150dia water main located on Ral Ral Avenue, adjacent to this growth area, this main currently feeds the area around the Hospital and Renmark Football Club. This existing main would not be considered adequate to sufficiently service the proposed growth area and upgrade options will need to be investigated and considered.
An existing 150 dia water main is located on the Northern side of the growth area, this main will need to be incorporated into this proposed growth area to provide additional service supply. This main is currently located outside the existing levee bank and will need to be under bored below levee.
A review should be taken to record peak flows in demand times and the potential for storage tanks to be installed investigated to ensure adequate flows are achieved.
Renmark Irrigation Trust has a supply line that currently stretches through the growth area, this main has a branch that feeds existing houses to the South-East of the area.
This existing infrastructure will be sufficient to feed the proposed growth area.
Existing Telstra infrastructure is available on adjacent Ral Ral Avenue and is considered to adequately provide service to the proposed growth area. Infrastructure will need to be extended into the growth area from Ral Ral Avenue.
This proposed growth area currently has available NBN by Fixed Line connection. This infrastructure is adequate to provide sufficient service for this growth area. Communications
Electrical supply adjacent to the growth area is by overhead network located to the North, this power line is 11kV High Voltage and will be sufficient to service the proposed growth area.
A new underground network combining the High Voltage and new Low Voltage infrastructure will need to be extended into the growth area from the existing High Voltage main overhead infrastructure to the North. New infrastructure will need to be installed, including transformers approximately every 50 lots. New developments are expected to install all infrastructure underground.
Access to this growth area will depend on the developers intended use, if the Riverside Estate Retirement Village is to be extended into this area, it would be assumed the existing gated entrance on Murray Dyer Avenue will be utilised.
If the proposed development in this growth area will be public works, access would need to be from Ral Ral Avenue access road, in front of the hospital. This road will need to be upgraded and an intersection assessment completed once development details are confirmed.
Future development should include a stormwater management system designed to mitigate peak flows and manage the rate and duration of stormwater discharges from the site to ensure that the development does not increase the peak flows in downstream systems.
3. Renmark - North Nineteenth Street to Twentyfirst Street
Existing wastewater infrastructure is generally in place adjacent to proposed growth areas, new wastewater infrastructure will need to be constructed to enter the adjoining network, however minor pump stations will need to be installed to aid transfer as existing infrastructure is generally shallow at existing extents.
The proposed development on Twentieth Street should provide rising main infrastructure to transfer wastewater directly to the Wastewater treatment plant located on Paringa Street approximately 250m away. This additional main will relieve any overloading on the existing system and could pickup additional growth areas located along Paringa St.
Growth areas located off Twentyfirst Street can be incorporated into existing adjacent infrastructure, however, existing pump station 13 (Korinthos St) will need to be upgraded to suit additional flows.
The wastewater processing facility in Renmark is currently being upgraded and will have the capacity for this future growth.
Current infrastructure capacity will be adequate to supply the proposed development in these growth areas. Dedes Drive and Bolati Court are fed with a 150dia PVC main, can adequately provide service for the adjacent growth areas. Twentyfirst Street is currently fed with a 200dia PVC main terminating at the High School, this main will sufficiently feed the proposed growth at Blue Skies. Pipe work will need to be extended into growth areas and distribution as required.
There is currently a 100dia PVC main and a 200dia DICL main located on Twentieth Street, these main will need to be extended approximately 200m to the North to provide adequate supply for the proposed growth areas. There is also an existing 100dia AC main located on Nineteenth Street that will need to be extended 130m to feed proposed dwellings on Nineteenth St development area.
There currently is RIT infrastructure in place behind the High School and there is also an irrigation and domestic meter installed. No other irrigation infrastructure is installed. Generally, urban lots do not require this infrastructure.
Existing Telstra infrastructure is available on Twentyfirst St and Dedes Drive, infrastructure can be extended into these proposed growth areas.
Nineteenth Street and Twentieth Street currently has no Telstra infrastructure installed adjacent to the proposed growth areas. There is an existing 100dia communications conduit located on Twentieth Street that will need to be extended approximately 300m and distributed as required to growth areas in these proposed areas.
Growth areas adjacent to Twentyfirst Street are designated as an NBN Fixed Line service area. Growth areas adjacent to Nineteenth and Twentieth Streets are nominated Fixed Wireless service areas.
Electricity supply into growth areas adjacent Twentyfirst Street are considered adequate, additional underground infrastructure will need to be installed to distribute the network within each area. Growth area off Rod Thomas Drive will need an additional transformer to be installed to adequately provide service for the proposed growth in this area.
Existing SAPN infrastructure adjacent to proposed growth areas on Nineteenth and Twentieth Street will require a HV extension further up Twentieth Street and into Paring Street. Distribution of services to development areas on both sides of the road will then be required. A new underground network combining High Voltage and Low Voltage infrastructure will need to be constructed into the growth area and distributed as required, a new transformer will need to be installed at approximately every 50 lots.
The proposed growth areas off Twentyfirst Street can be accessed off Twentyfirst Street, Rod Thomas Street and Bolati Court, these access locations are deemed adequate and will not require further upgrade of intersections.
Growth areas located on Nineteenth and Twentieth Street can be accessed off both main roads and Paringa Street, all these access points are deemed adequate for the proposed growth.
Future development should include a stormwater management system designed to mitigate peak flows and manage the rate and duration of stormwater discharges from the site to ensure that the development does not increase the peak flows in downstream systems.
4. Renmark - Renmark Avenue/ Sturt Highway and Pyap Street
Existing wastewater infrastructure is generally in place adjacent to proposed growth area on Renmark Avenue, new wastewater infrastructure will need to be constructed to enter the adjoining network. A minor pump station will need to be installed to aid transfer as existing infrastructure may not reach the extents of the proposed development areas. The existing pump station 16 (Howie Dve) will require upgrades to pump infrastructure to adequately receive additional input.
The proposed growth area off Pyap Street will require a new network of pipelines throughout the new development and a new pump station. The existing pump station 17 (Barrington St) will be sufficient to receive new flows. The wastewater processing facility in Renmark is currently being upgraded and will have the capacity for this future growth.
The proposed growth area along Renmark Avenue has existing SA Water infrastructure located adjacent to the development area from Murray Price Ave. There is 2x 100dia water mains that can be joined and extended to provide adequate capacity for the proposed dwellings.
The proposed growth area located at the Western end of Pyap Street currently has a 150dia PVC watermain adjacent. This main may not be sufficient to provide adequate service for the proposed 410 lots. Further investigations of main pressures in the area may indicate a storage tank and pump may be able to provide adequate flow to the area. There is existing RIT infrastructure in this area, this infrastructure may reduce potable water demand, reducing the infrastructure requirement.
Lot sizing and arrangement confirmation for the Pyap St growth area may help confirming existing infrastructure upgrade requirements.
