Growth Strategy
Planning for a growing Renmark Paringa
Renmark Paringa is a region with significant opportunities for growth. Renmark Paringa Council's Growth Strategy provides a long-term framework to guide how our townships and surrounding areas can grow over the next 15 to 30 years.
The Strategy identifies opportunities for residential, commercial and industrial development, considers the availability of land and infrastructure, and outlines the planning needed to support a growing population and a strong, sustainable local economy.
It aims to ensure future growth is well planned, coordinated with infrastructure and services, and aligned with the aspirations of our community.
Supporting sustainable growth
The Growth Strategy provides an important foundation for Council's future planning and investment decisions. It will help guide:
- Residential growth: Identifying opportunities to accommodate future housing demand and provide greater choice for people looking to live in the region.
- Business and industry: Identifying suitable land and opportunities for commercial and industrial development, supporting business expansion, investment and local employment.
- Infrastructure and services: Understanding what infrastructure, utilities and services are needed to support future development and population growth.
- Land use planning: Guiding future rezoning proposals and decisions about the use of community land and assets.
- Regional prosperity: Providing a clear direction for growth to help attract investment and support the long-term prosperity of the region.
Opportunities for our region
The Strategy identifies opportunities to build on Renmark Paringa's strengths while supporting new development and investment.
This includes planning for future residential expansion, exploring opportunities to grow industrial land and employment opportunities, and supporting the infrastructure needed to accommodate new residents and businesses.
By taking a coordinated, long-term approach, Council can work with landowners, developers, businesses and government agencies to help unlock opportunities and ensure growth delivers lasting benefits for the community.
A framework for the future
The Growth Strategy supports the objectives of Council's Community Plan 2024–2034 and will help inform future planning, infrastructure investment and advocacy.
It also provides important guidance for the State Planning Commission and South Australian Government as they plan for the future of the Murray and Mallee region.
The Strategy is a long-term planning framework that can be adapted as community needs, investment opportunities and development priorities evolve. It provides strategic direction for future growth rather than automatically rezoning land or approving individual developments.
