about this project

Onkaparinga Employment Lands Study

Intermethod delivered a comprehensive review of the extensive employment lands within the City of Onkaparinga.

The project was undertaken in order to identify existing land supply, future demand, opportunities and risks in a new economy and identify a set of actions and plans for the future. The study was instigated in response to changing employment patterns and a general decline in the traditional employment base.

 

Social considerations and future employment trends were reviewed as part of the project. The Study sought to create a holistic vision and support a program of actions to further embed Council’s economic growth agenda.

 

Key tasks delivered by Intermethod included:

  • detailed assessment of current land uses, including:
  • vacancy rates, land capability, land utilisation, demand, employment land use capacity
  • review of existing planning policies
  • mapping of constraints and opportunities
  • change site analysis
  • development of the draft Study
  • development of recommendations for each employment area
  • series of reviews and amendments.

 

The Study is used for investigation in support of Development Plan amendments and strategic planning.
