The Residential Code (see http://www.sa.gov.au/topics/property-and-land/land-and-property-development/building-and-property-development-applications/streamlined-residential-development/residential-development-code-updates) was introduced in 2009 to allow for simpler, faster and cheaper planning and building approvals for home construction and renovation. This dataset defines the spatial extent of the Residential Code (the Determined Area for the Purposes of Schedule 4 - Complying development Clause 2B - New Dwellings in The South Australian Government Gazette, first published 27 November 2009, Supplementary Gazettes 1 to 6).

The Development Plan Map Index is used to determine which map to refer to in South Australian Development Plans. Link: http://www.sa.gov.au/topics/housing-property-and-land/local-government/development-plans/online-development-plans. Every council in South Australia has a Development Plan that specifies the type of development that can occur in that council area.

SA Heritage Places indicates the spatial location of State Heritage Places from the South Australian Heritage Register (see http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/our-places/Heritage/SA_Heritage_Register) and Local Heritage Places in the Planning and Design Code (see https://code.plan.sa.gov.au). Information about each heritage place includes: the land parcel associated with each heritage place/item description, criteria for listing address, plan/parcel/title, Local Government Area. SA Heritage Places is available as spatial layers in point (centroid of the heritage place) and polygon (indicative footprint of the heritage place) format.

The South Australian State Gazetteer records any place name that is, or has been, used in South Australia.

Planning and Design Code (P&D Code) Overlays are layers in the P&D Code under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (PDI Act 2016). P&D Code Overlays identify areas where specific P&D Code policies are applicable or where an area may be subject to referrals. The data is updated fortnightly and can be viewed in the South Australian Property and Planning Atlas (SAPPA). NOTE: all the overlays have been combined into a single dataset and individual overlays can be viewed by doing a definition query on the name field.

Earthquake Hazard Zones are used in conjunction with the Building Code of Australia for use with the design of domestic structures in accordance with Appendix A Domestic Structures (Housing) of AS 1170.4.

Sydney Development Control Plan 2012 GIS data.

Each 'Precinct Structure Plan' describes the planned land uses for new development in specific parts of Melbourne’s Growth Areas. The official Future Urban Structure (FUS) plan (also now known as a ‘Place Based Plan’) for any individual area is contained in the approved PSP documents incorporated into the relevant municipal planning schemes for that area. Copies are available as *pdf downloads on the VPA website or from the relevant municipality. The Victorian Planning Authority’s (VPA’s) FUS LandUse data has been generated by amalgamating individual PSP data. Various PSPs have been generated over many years and by different organisations and processes. This FUS data is therefore a simplified combination of data that originally comprised different formats and structures.
