Conservation Council SA supports the proposed retention of the Regulated and Significant Trees Overlay and Native Vegetation Overlay, and recommends that all watercourses and significant drainage lines are retained as parks and/or green spaces with at least a 50-metre buffer on either side.
Further, noting the environmental and operational cost sustainability challenges with septic tanks and Community Wastewater Management schemes across South Australia, SA Water-managed wastewater should be connected to the area before large-scale development occurs.
