Funding

There is currently no funding committed to deliver these Master Plans.

About the project

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 area.

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.

Master plans complete

The final versions of the Cape Jervis Harbour Precinct Master Plan and the Penneshaw Harbour Precinct Master Plan are complete. These were informed by community and stakeholder feedback and technical analysis.

Thank you to those that gave feedback by attending the listening posts and completing our online survey over the consultation period between February and mid-April 2024.

Next Steps

It's important we carry out these studies so we can plan for future infrastructure priorities to create sustainable and productive places, and support growth. Based on your feedback we will be exploring funding options to build a new jetty in the Cape Jervis Harbour Precinct. We will also continue to investigate options to improve parking at the area.

Based on your feedback the Master Plan for the Penneshaw harbour precinct has been amended. It now includes a substantial expansion of the existing heavy vehicle marshalling area on Bay Terrace to include capacity for up to six B–Double truck spaces, increased from three, as the preferred strategy to manage future growth. In addition, we will also be exploring funding opportunities to build additional car parking in the harbour precinct.

These Master Plans will guide future development of the precincts and inform future funding considerations for the projects within the Master Plan Precincts.
