The State Government has released its 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide, a framework for the economic and population growth of the city.
The Plan has been welcomed by the Deputy Chairman of the Economic Development Board, Kevin Osborn, who applauded its comprehensive vision and attention to detail.
Mr Osborn said the Plan provided a blueprint for the Government to deliver on the objectives of the State Strategic Plan.
"Greater Adelaide has been the beneficiary of Colonel William Light's vision and the 30-Year Plan will keep Adelaide as one of the most liveable environs in the world.
"The Premier has stated that the recently undertaken planning review will give South Australia the most efficient planning system in Australia and will help make the State the most competitive place in Australasia to do business and invest," Mr Osborn said.
Mr Osborn said the 30-Year Plan aligned closely with the EDB's Economic Statement and State Infrastructure Plan to guide growth into the future.
"The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide acknowledges the many challenges that face South Australia - water security, an ageing population, climate change and housing affordability," Mr Osborn said.
"The Plan provides a precise and well thought out framework within which these challenges can be faced and overcome.
"The EDB's Economic Statement says now is the time to invest in South Australia's infrastructure and workforce skills to build up this State's productive capacity," Mr Osborn said.
The Statement indicates South Australia is better placed than other states to emerge strongly from the global economic slowdown.
