What is a Master Plan

A Master Plan is a dynamic short and long-term plan that identifies social, environmental, cultural and economic issues and opportunities. It then sets a clear strategic and co-ordinated framework for assessment of potential future developments within the precinct.

The Department is developing master plans for the Penneshaw harbour precinct and the Cape Jervis harbour precinct. These master plans will guide future development of the precincts and inform future funding considerations for all levels of Government.

The master planning for both harbour precincts have multiple strategic considerations:

Placemaking – ensuring the visual amenity and functionality of future developments result in optimal regional, cultural, tourism and community outcomes.

Movement – considering future transport to ensure efficient operations and a safe environment for all users, including pedestrians.

Synergy and integration – taking a balanced and sustainable approach when considering the needs and requirements of all precinct users and owners to ensure future developments suitably integrate with the environment and land uses.
