The State Planning Commission was established in April 2017 as South Australia's principal, independent planning body that provides advice and makes recommendations on the administration of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016. The Commission guides decision-making of state government, local government and community and business organisations with respect to planning, development and infrastructure provisions in South Australia. The Commission’s six members bring a wealth of expertise to provide leadership and guidance in the development, implementation and operation of the state’s planning system.
