The Government of South Australia is proposing to rezone approximately 134 hectares of land in Sellicks Beach to enable a new master-planned community that will deliver up to 1700 new homes, an activity centre as well as open space for the Sellicks Beach community.

This amendment is part of a broader effort to deliver more housing for South Australians, and community members and stakeholders are invited to learn more about it and provide feedback on the proposal.

Consultation is now open on the draft Sellicks Beach Growth Area Joint Amendment and will close 16 October 2025.

Background

Residential land supply in southern Adelaide is currently constrained, with nearly all areas available for growth either under active development or in the process of being released to market. 

The Sellicks Beach Growth Area Joint Amendment is part of the South Australian Government’s Housing Roadmap delivering more residential land allotments to market and providing more affordable homes for South Australians.

The Greater Adelaide Regional Plan, adopted in March 2025, identifies Sellicks Beach as an area for strategic growth.

The Joint Amendment is seeking to address an immediate need for further land supply to address future population growth and meet the demand for new housing in the Outer South region of Greater Adelaide.
