JANUARY - MARCH 2021
FROM THE CEO
SCOTT ASHBY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
I am pleased to present this issue of The Quarter, the City of Onkaparinga’s key performance report for our
communities.
The Quarter summarises our performance and activities over the past three months and reports on our progress
towards achieving our communities’ goals as outlined in the Community Plan 2030.
It provides an extensive and thorough review of our projects, services and programs. It also details significant
events and other related matters that have occurred during the period.
The Quarter, together with our community satisfaction survey, annual report and annual business plan, all provide
detailed and easily accessible information on the operations, direction and performance of council.
I trust that you will find its content valuable and informative.

COVID-19 UPDATE
The impacts of COVID-19 are being felt by everyone in our community.
As an organisation we have responded to COVID-19 restrictions through the organisation’s Crisis Management
Team (CMT). The focus of CMT has been to ensure continuity of critical services and functions across council,
whilst ensuring a safe environment for staff and the community. As restrictions have eased, the organisation has
responded in returning services to community in accordance with government guidelines and restrictions.
During the initial stages of COVID-19, many of our services to community were impacted. Critical services continued
to be offered during this time with no interruption to service delivery. Government restrictions closed a number of
Council services and sites making them unavailable to the community. A large number of services forced to close
during this period such as libraries, youth centres, positive-ageing centres; adapted their delivery models to ensure
some level of service and contact was still provided to community. This was especially important for services
regularly working with isolated and vulnerable communities.
In this issue of The Quarter, statistics may vary for services that were impacted by closures, restricted services or in
some cases an increase in demand.

WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY
We aim to provide and promote a healthy and safe work environment that minimises the risk of injury or illness arising from
work activities.
This data is provided from the Local Government Association Workers Compensation Scheme (the Scheme). This data is
used by the Scheme to calculate the percentage of our salaries and wages payable as workers compensation insurance
premium.
The statistics are updated on a monthly basis but the currency/accuracy of data is dependent upon the status of a claim and
the injured employee’s return to work. If an employee is away from work for an extended period of time, their claim information
is not provided until they have returned to work. If a claim is pending, it may be many months before wages are claimed from
the Scheme. This reporting approach is uniform across local government areas in South Australia and in no way has any
adverse effect on our Health & Safety or Injury Management responsibilities or outcomes.
LOST TIME INJURIES
The following table and chart reflect the
number of lost time injuries incurred
(one complete shift or more of lost time).

Completed 100% Y Y
To undertake an analysis of the current and historic zones, policy areas, precincts and overlays relevant to Clarendon to

Environs.
Status Update
Council made a detailed submission to the State Planning Commission on the (draft) Planning and Design Code (the Code)
with regard to the historic township of Clarendon. Together, the Clarendon Community Association (CCA) and Council clearly
outlined in our submissions how various concerns and matters could be addressed under the Code.
The Code became operational on 19 March 2021 and on review we are pleased to note essentially all our requests in relation
to Clarendon have been incorporated into the new planning scheme, in particular; inclusion of a new Township
Neighbourhood Zone to cover the more homogeneous residential parts of the town; application of the Scenic Quality Overlay
over the former Landscape Environs Precinct which is also now the Productive Rural Landscape Zone; and existing
contributory items transitioned into a new category, known as ‘Representative Buildings’. These matters combined with the
Character Preservation District Overlay and Heritage Area Overlay will ensure the ongoing protection of the character and
heritage of the historic Clarendon township.

9/30/21 10% Y Y
Undertake a review of the development plan policy in McLaren Vale in preparation for transitioning the Onkaparinga
Development Plan to a state-wide Planning and Design Code under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016. A
critical component of the review will be to engage with the McLaren Vale community and key stakeholders to understand their
concerns and issues. This project will recommend appropriate zoning ensuring alignment to the Character Preservation
(McLaren Vale) Act 2012 and associated Addendum to the 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.
Status Update
This project is anticipated to commence in the second quarter of 2021. As the project relies on reviewing the underlying zoning
and policy, commencement was delayed until the Planning and Development Code came into effect on 19 March 2021, which
was delayed from the original July 2020 date. Stage 1 comprises engaging a consultant; a ward member briefing; a desktop
review and initial investigations; development of a discussion paper; community engagement; summary of engagement and a
recommendations report for the Strategic Directions Committee. To date a desktop review of the Code zoning and policy has
commenced.

SELLICKS BEACH STRUCTURE PLAN Date Complete Budget
6/30/21 80% Y Y
A structure plan is being prepared for Sellicks Beach for the Deferred Urban Zone, Primary Production Zone (outside of the
Character Preservation District), and the (existing) Residential Zone. A structure plan is not a rezoning exercise nor will it
deliver on the ground infrastructure, its purpose is to provide a strategic approach to guide growth in the area that is also
reflective of community values and aspirations. The Sellicks Beach Structure Plan will inform the location, form and
sequencing of development together with what infrastructure and services will be required to support the community and to
facilitate appropriate urban development.
Status Update
The Sellicks Beach Structure Plan project is progressing. Consultation was undertaken in accordance with the Community
Engagement Strategy approved by the Strategic Directions Committee (SDC) on 3 November 2020. The Sellicks Beach
community has been actively engaged and their feedback has helped shape and refine the Sellicks Beach Structure Plan.
Views were mixed with a number of common themes and preferred solutions arising about future growth in the area. The
feedback received has been consolidated and considered in the What We Have Heard Report, which will be presented to
Council at the SDC meeting on 4 May 2021. The draft Structure Plan has also been revised and captures community
aspirations and vision of what Sellicks Beach should look like in the future. High-level Design Guidelines have also been
developed to support the structure plan to address the key issues that have been raised by the community. It is anticipated
that Council will consider the revised Structure Plan and accompanying Design Guidelines at their meeting to be held on 18
May 2021.

Council maintains a strong commitment to reviewing and responding to proposed changes to the South Australian planning
system by government and other industry sectors. Doing so ensures we remain engaged in these deliberations and protect
the interests of our community but also ensures that we flag any significant implications to our council should the ideas be
implemented by government.
Status Update
Consultation on the new Phase 3 (Urban Areas) Planning and Design Code has now completed and all areas of feedback
considered by the State Planning Commission. Many changes have been made to the Code in response to the submissions
received with full details provided in the Engagement Report which is available on the PlanSA portal. On 19 March 2021, the
State Government launched the Planning and Design Code. The Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (PDI Act)
now replaces the Development Act 1993 bringing into effect a single source of state-wide planning rules for the state via the
Planning and Design Code and providing a full electronic Development Application Processing (DAP) system on the
ePlanning platform. Council staff have continued to provide feedback to the content and the spatial application of the new
policy ensuring the accuracy of the new zone modules and new and amended technical overlays. Staff also continue to
participate in education and training sessions to familiarise themselves with all aspects of the system and maintain regular
updates to the state government.
