South Australian Adult Entertainment Planning Code Briefing Paper

The Adelaide City Council is proposing amendments to the current planning code. The amendments include provisions for adult entertainment and adult products and services businesses. The changes will guide the use and development of land used for the purposes of adult entertainment premises and/or adult products and services premises. 

SIN and our peak body, Scarlet Alliance, are opposed to the proposed amendments to the planning code. We know that the proposed changes will negatively impact sex workers ability to earn an income, will negatively impact our health and safety at work, and will introduce targeted and discriminatory planning laws that effectively “ban” adult entertainment and product businesses from the city.
