Things are looking up in Southwark Grounds, and South Australians have been invited to give their feedback.
A proposed code amendment would see maximum building heights at Adelaide’s newest suburb increase from eight levels to 12 levels on the eastern section and 14 levels across the remainder of the site, with minimum heights ranging from 2-4 levels.
Members of the public are invited to give feedback on the draft Southwark Grounds Code Amendment, which aims to ensure housing opportunities can be maximised at this infill site.
The first buyers have already signed on at Southwark Grounds, with the project currently set to deliver up to 1300 new homes, including 20 per cent affordable housing.
Located on the former West End Brewery site, the $1 billion development is delivering new homes alongside retail, hospitality and green spaces for community members and visitors to enjoy.
The masterplan targets 30 per cent tree canopy coverage and a 6 Star Green Star Rating, while preserving heritage assets and upgrading the Karrawirra Parri/River Torrens Linear Park.
It will also revitalise key heritage assets including the Walkerville Brew Tower, Theberton Cottage foundations, and Riverside Gardens.
An update to the Airport Building Heights (Regulated) Overlay is also proposed to align with Adelaide Airport requirements.
Public consultation on the draft Southwark Grounds Code Amendment is open now until 20 February.
