TECHNICAL REPORT – DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
This section presents data sourced from within as well as external to Council which presents knowledge
outlining development trends within the City, snapshots of how the City is performing in relation to other
comparable jurisdictions and analyses some of the results to recommend next steps that will better inform and
direct ongoing research that will underpin a Planning Study.
POPULATION
It was recently announced by the Premier that: “By 2017 South Australia will…Increase the number of people
living in the city from 22,000 to 30,000 (on the way to our 2024 target of 50,000)”*. The Minister has announced
a review of the 30 Year Plan to occur over the course of 2015.
This revised population target for the City exceeds the predictions of the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
The City’s population is currently tracking at approximately 1,600 people below the target set in the 30 Year
Plan for Greater Adelaide for the year 2016. With the Minister’s recent release of the increased target, the
difference between actual predicted (ABS) population in 2016 and the target for 2016 would be approximately
3, 400 persons. In terms of population numbers and new households, the new target for 2021 seeks an
additional 7,069 households above the ABS forecast and will require the construction of 1,079 dwellings per
annum (Refer Fig. 1).
Whilst just over 1,000 dwellings and short stay accommodation units were approved in the financial year
2013/2014, and over 1,000 have already been approved in the current financial year 2014/2015, historically up
to 31% of all residential and short term accommodation dwelling units approved are never commenced. The
number of residential and short term accommodation units annually approved in the City from 2005 to 2012
has tracked at a much lower average of approximately 500 units per annum.
Whether the higher rate of residential development will continue and be sustained, thus achieving the State
Government’s targets is dependent on a number of factors outside the remit of a study based on Council data
alone. However, questions arise as to whether new policies operating since 2012 have been a factor in the
increased dwelling construction. These include the provisions of the Capital City Zone as they relate to building
height, mix of land uses etc, opportunities afforded by the more permissive “catalyst site” (>1,500 m 2)
provisions in various zones in the Development Plan and removal/reduction of stamp duty for new apartments
in the City. A review of the capacity of the current Development Plan to achieve the stated population target
would inform whether change is required in order to achieve the target. Further analysis is warranted into
whether policy settings need further adjustment or if other factors outside of the planning system require
change to facilitate achievement of the targets.

TECHNICAL REPORT – DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Although the City of Adelaide is a small geographic element within the Adelaide Metropolitan Area and has a
comparatively low number of development applications, the contribution of the City to the overall State GRP
(Gross Regional Product) is proportionately high and growing. As the graph below demonstrates, the City’s
contribution to the overall state GRP is in the order of almost 20% and is growing at an average annual rate of
3.5%. On current trend therefore, economic activity in the City will continue to grow relative to the rest of the
metropolitan area. The contributors to this growth may be due to a number of factors such as current planning
settings, the growth in particular sectors of the service & knowledge economy in which the City is strong (legal,
medical & research, etc.) and growth in retail activity. Identifying the actual contributors of this growth however
would be the subject of further research to provide planning policy settings attuned to supporting those land
uses which are generating demand for more floor space.

Employment Growth
The table below illustrates the trend of employment levels in the City from 1967 to 2011. Between 2008 and
2011 there has been no overall growth in numbers which may be attributable to the impact of the global
financial crisis. The results of the most recent Census of Land Use and Employment will be released in late
March 2015. The data will provide the Planning Study with a basis to further explore the growth in the
commercial sector in the City and enable a comparison of how the City is tracking relative to the target of an
additional 50,000 workers by 2040 set in the 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.

Employment Sectors
The three largest sectors of Public Administration & Safety, Health Care & Social Assistance and Professional,
Scientific and Technical Services together comprise 46% of all employment in the City. Figure 8 illustrates that
some industries have suffered a decline in employment numbers within the City. The main drivers of growth in
City employment over the period 2008-2011 has been the Administrative and Support Services, Public
Administration and Safety and Accommodation and Food Services. This trend is in line with the national trend
in capital cities which has seen growth in the service sectors of the economy and away from industry. The
results of the 2013 survey to be released in March 2015 will inform on whether this trend is continuing. Such
information will inform the Planning Study as to what type of new or refurbished commercial floor space and
ancillary support buildings and uses will be required in the future.

The total number of people employed in Adelaide City is anticipated in the 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide to
increase by 50,000 (over the 2010 worker population) to 168,000 by 2040. Small businesses dominate in the
City with 82% of City businesses being small (fewer than 20 employees) or micro (5 or fewer employees).It is
estimated that growth in the office based sectors (such as professional services) will drive the development of
an additional 700,000 square meters of office space in the City, bringing total office space in the City over 2
million square metres by 2040.
The introduction of the Capital City Zone in 2012 is thought to provide the required capacity for new office
floor space to meet the worker population target. The impact of office growth in the City caused by favourable
zoning changes in adjacent areas outside the City (eg. Keswick office park, Greenhill Road, Glenside, etc.) is not
known. Further insight into market demands as reflected by those sectors not accommodated in offices such as
Accommodation and Food Services, Arts and Recreation Services and Information, Media and
Telecommunications would inform on whether policy setting need to be reviewed to better accommodate
these uses. The growth in small licensed venues, galleries, performance spaces and arts venues is one such
example.

DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY IN THE CITY
The type of development applications in the City differs markedly from the rest of the State, with the
commercial and residential sectors being predominant. Whilst residential development comprises 92% of all
applications in the State, it comprises 26% in the City. Conversely, commercial applications comprise 4% of all
applications at a State level, but 62% in the City. Similarly institutional applications which include those
associated with the universities, hospitals, government offices, museums, galleries and the like comprise 1% of
applications across the State but comprise 10% within the City.

VALUE OF APPROVED AND CONSTRUCTED DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF ADELAIDE – 2006-2014*
The average value of development in the City is higher than the State average, with the number of medium and
large scale developments being the cause. The value of development in the City has been progressing upwards
from about $300 million prior to 2006 towards an average of $500 million dollars’ worth of approvals are
approved and commenced annually. The graph below illustrates the effects of the global financial crisis in
2007/2008 and the progress of the upgrade of Adelaide Oval, new Royal Adelaide Hospital and extension to
the Convention Centre in 2011. Note that this data is a lagging indicator, therefore that the values displayed for
the years 2013 and 2014 will fall over time as some approvals will not be proceed to construction and will lapse.

RESIDENTIAL AND SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION DEVELOPMENT
A review of constructed and valid approved residential and short term accommodation from 2005-2015
indicates that 53% of all new dwelling units are in the form of apartments. Given the current household size of
1.9 persons, this new stock provides accommodation for up to 6,160 new City residents. It is noted that 917
(15%) of new dwelling units were student accommodation. Whilst the types of student apartments vary from
single person occupancies to multiple person occupancies, typically household sizes for students are higher.
These two types of dwellings provide the bulk of new capacity accommodating permanent residents in the City.

LAPSED APPROVALS - RESIDENTIAL
Over the period 2005-2014, 31% of all approved residential and short term accommodation developments have
not been constructed as indicated by the Planning Consents and/or Development Approvals having lapsed. A
high proportion of applications lapsed in the wake of the global financial crisis in 2007/2008 as expected (Refer
Figure 14). The corresponding low levels in the following two financial years were reflective of the overall low
level of development activity. The higher level of lapsing applications thereafter in 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 is
not as easy to explain and requires further investigation.
Based on the historical feature of a lapsing rate of 31%, in order to meet the State Government’s growth targets
for the City it will be necessary for dwelling approvals to reach approximately 1,400 dwellings per annum, or for
the proportion of lapsed approvals to be reduced. The low number of lapsed approvals in 2013/2014 is due to
approvals being valid for 12 months from the date of issuance, hence it is expected that the number will grow
over the remaining 5 months to the end of the current financial year based on past trends.

The above graph illustrates the volatility in the development of residential and short term accommodation. The
effect of the global financial crisis of 2007/2008 is observable in the low level of activity in the following years
2008/2009 and 2009/2010. Full analysis of 2013/14 and 2014-present data is not possible at this time as based
on current trends, a number of approvals will lapse and therefore the number will decrease..

The above graph illustrates the breakdown of residential development by dwelling type over the last eight
financial years. It illustrates that the majority of new dwellings is generated by apartment buildings, with a
marked increase evident from 2013/2014 onwards. This increase could be driven in part by stamp duty
concessions by the State Government dating from May 2012 and possibly by the increased presence of
overseas developers with less reliance on or better access to finance. Further research into the contribution of
interstate and overseas investors and developers into the Adelaide apartment market may provide an insight
into their contribution to future growth of this sector.

DEVELOPMENTS OVER $5 MILLION
Developments over $5m million value represent the majority of development in the City and are in the form of
multi-storey residential, office, institutional, educational and mixed use buildings.

The graph above illustrates how those developments over $10 million dollars form a significant element of the
overall value of all developments in the City. As they are few in number, their proportion relative to the overall
value of development varies greatly, dependent upon whether projects proceed or not. By contrast the
proportion of developments of low dollar value is relatively stable. The applications for the redevelopment of
Adelaide Oval, the new Royal Adelaide Hospital and expansion of the Adelaide Convention Centre are included
in this graph. As they are atypical ‘one-off’ public investments, they distort the normal monetary value of
investment in the City.
14
TECHNICAL REPORT – DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
The graph below illustrates those same 6 classes of development (by quoted application $ value) by the
number of applications. Low value applications or those with no recorded value such as changes of land use for
example form a high number of all applications. It should be noted that certain activities such as changes of
land use or change of building classification, whilst not having a quoted value on a development application
form, do have an actual value to the City and overall economy. They often involve the establishment of new
businesses in the City, with the attendant benefits of providing employment, generating sales activity and the
like.
The high number of applications in the lowest two classes indicates where Council expends significant
resources in the assessment and administration of development applications. Further investigations into the
exact nature of these applications is warranted in order to understand what may be classified as low

implications on the quality of the public realm and thus the City user experience (eg. signs, new shop facades).

TECHNICAL REPORT – DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
The chart below illustrates the outcomes over the past 10 years for developments over $5 million by number
and value of applications. A high proportion (37%) have not proceeded either through being withdrawn by the
applicant, refusal or lapsing. Developments either under construction or have achieved full Development
Approval is generally a good indicator of projects that will proceed to construction given the level of
investment embodied in preparing engineering and construction documentation.

Withdrawn applications are a reasonably significant proportion of the overall number and value of applications
lodged. As this represents an investment by an owner or business that has not proceeded, further analysis may
be warranted to understand the causes of this.

TECHNICAL REPORT – DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
MINOR DEVELOPMENT
Excluding change of land use and building classification, minor development forms a large proportion of the
overall number of development applications assessed by Council. Over the last complete financial year
2013/2014, 40% of all applications related to internal works in the nature of alteration and shop or office fitouts. Together with signage (22%) and external alterations (25%), these works comprise 87% of all minor works.
Although classified by dollar value as being ‘minor’, signage and external alterations impact upon the public
realm and the City user experience.
Conversely, applications for internal alterations and fit-outs do not create externally visible changes and usually
have little or no planning impact, being primarily a matter of Building Code compliance.

The above graph illustrates the costs of administering the requirements of the Development Act and
Regulations for Council in comparison to the income received through development applications. Costs to
Council include the cost of assessing applications, enforcement, legal advice and representation, building
inspections and general administration. The most significant event impacting on income has been the removal
of Council as the assessment authority for development over $10 million in mid-2007. Fees set in the
Development Act are not set at a cost recovery rate.

TECHNICAL REPORT – DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
Public Notification
The graphs below illustrate the composition of development applications by the type of public notification
required. The general trend over the nine years indicates a steady reduction in the proportion of applications
requiring Category 2 public notification. Over this time period there have been changes to the Development
Plan (General PAR – 2006, Capital City DPA – 2012) as well as administrative changes brought about by legal
precedent. It is recommended that an examination in the nature of the public notifications carried out over time
is warranted in order to gain an understanding of what is being publically notified and what is no longer being
notified.

The above table illustrates that in South Australia 8.6% of all applications are complying and that in the City of
Adelaide 14.6% are complying This higher percentage is attributable to the high number of applications for
internal alterations and fit-outs for commercial premises.

The above graph illustrates that annually 300 to 500 application are for developments that have no
building classification (such as land use changes not involving building work, land divisions, murals,
etc.). Class 10B structures such as fences, signs and other minor miscellaneous building works are
also signifcant.
The following maps indicate the location of residential development activity, development of $10
million of more in value (where the Development Assessment Commission has been the planning
authority) and development on catalyst sites. Catalyst sites are defined as sites of 1,500 square
metres in a number of zones as introduced or amended in 2012 by the Capital City DPA.
