South Australia has set a target to make 15 per cent of all new significant developments into affordable housing.
The Planning and Design Code includes an Affordable Housing Overlay, stating which areas are appropriate, and contains incentives and bonuses to encourage building affordable housing. Development applications that include affordable housing must be referred to the Department for Housing and Urban Development.
What is affordable housing
The criteria for affordable housing are published in the Government Gazette, including price thresholds for affordable home ownership and eligible providers of affordable rentals.
The most recent Gazette notice is available on the Department for Housing and Urban Development website.
