Essential workers will receive help to get on the housing ladder, with a $10,000 rebate being offered on homes released this week in the Southwark development.
The Key Worker Housing Rebate will be available on selected homes for eligible owner-occupiers working in healthcare and allied health, education, emergency services, aged care, disability care and childcare and early learning.
The rebate is being offered by South Australian developer Kolabb on some of 26 townhouses released for sale in the development’s Anderson Lane precinct.
The townhouses are a mix of one to four bedrooms homes, connected by tree-lined laneways, Anderson Walk Linear Reserve and a central ‘pocket park’.
Designed by Studio Nine Architects, the release is the third townhouse release to come to market at Renewal SA’s Southwark Grounds development at the former West End Brewery site in less than a year.
The rebate will be available on a limited number of homes through an Expression of Interest process and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
To qualify, buyers must work in the eligible key worker profession, live in the home for a minimum of 12 months and have a gross household income of no more than $120,000 a year for singles or $180,000 a year for couples.
Key workers who are also first homebuyers won’t pay stamp duty and will be eligible for up to $15,000 in First Homebuyer Grants alongside low-deposit lending options.
One-bedroom homes start from $629,000, two-bedroom homes from $895,000, three-bedroom homes from $1.295 million and four-bedroom homes from $1.56 million.
Civil construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with housing construction to follow in the first half of 2027. The homes will be delivered by builder Centina.
Anderson Lane follows Founder's Row, the first homes released at Southwark Grounds, which sold out within weeks of launching in late 2025, and West Village on Anderson Street.
About 1700 homes are targeted for delivery at Southwark Grounds over the next decade, supported by a supermarket, retail and hospitality offerings, a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre and public spaces.
Kolabb Managing Director Karl Fielke said key workers were the backbone of our communities, "yet many continue to face challenges entering the housing market close to where they work".
"Through the Anderson Lane Key Worker Rebate, we're seeking to provide meaningful support to help essential workers achieve home ownership in a high-quality, well-connected location," he said.
"Being close to major hospitals, schools and emergency services means supporting key workers to live nearer their work can cut travel time and give them a better balance between work, family and lifestyle."
