A proposal to deliver more than 600 new homes across 22ha of land in Adelaide’s south is moving ahead, with community consultation opening at the end of the month.

The Renewal SA development will turn two parcels of vacant land in Noarlunga into a “vibrant community” adjacent to the South Adelaide Football Club.

The Renewal SA website said the development, aiming to house approximately 1200 residents, would be delivered “over the next seven to 10 years”.

“New housing, new infrastructure and in particular quality open public open space and streetscapes with an extensive tree canopy, will create high-quality neighbourhood amenity,” it said.

“The master plan proposes a mix of dwellings including house and land packages and vacant land for sale, 20 per cent affordable housing, social housing, affordable rentals via Community Housing Provider partnerships and 12.5 per cent new public open space.

“Chief among the development’s objectives will be demonstrating a commitment to sustainability in the planning, design, and delivery of the development, and to provide housing that responds to future climate needs.”

Last month’s state budget included more than $115m for the development of 36.4 hectares of housing at Seaton and more than $80m for a separate development at Noarlunga, with the projects combined attracting a total government investment of $576m over the next 10 years.

Renewal SA is aiming to start work on the Noarlunga development in 2025, before starting housing construction in 2026 and having the first residents housed in 2027.

Renewal SA and the SA Housing Trust are working with the private sector, as well as community housing providers and the federal government, to finalise partnership and funding opportunities for both the Seaton and Noarlunga projects.

Housing Minister Nick Champion said the Noarlunga development would “turn an empty paddock into an important housing stock”, while Premier Peter Malinauskas said it would offer significant new public, social, affordable and market housing.

“For 30 years state governments have been cutting the number of public homes. We are turning that around,” Mr Malinauskas said.

“We know housing is a key concern, and we will have more to say on this when we deliver our housing road map later this month.”

Consultation will open to the public on June 27 and close on August 18.

This has the train line running through either side of the development, Noarlunga station on it's doorstep, hopefully some 'high rise' housing goes up.

Masterplan released for new $150m, tree-lined Noarlunga residential development as consultation starts.

The masterplan for a spacious, 626-home residential estate in Adelaide’s south has been released, revealing a major focus on tree canopy and open space. See the plans.

More than 600 new homes, with hundreds of social and affordable dwellings, are planned for a new tree-lined neighbourhood to address the housing crisis in Adelaide’s south.

And with plans to keep a huge swath of it as public open space, the state government is seeking ideas for what locals want in the park area.

A draft master plan for a proposed $150m Noarlunga residential development has been released ahead of community consultation that starts this weekend.

Co-ordinated by Renewal SA, the 626-home integrated estate takes in 22ha of vacant land at Noarlunga to open up the growing area and is planned to one day be home to 1200 people.

The draft plan reveals a mixture of traditional homes, townhouses, potential apartment sites and open land across the two huge parcels of land at Lovelock Drive, surrounding the South Adelaide Football Club.

The overarching vision includes affordable homes, with 80 new social housing dwellings, a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing and a minimum of 12.5 per cent new public open space.
The affordable homes will be a mix of apartments and townhouses.

Just minutes from Colonnades Shopping Centre, the estate would be on the Seaford line for easy access to the CBD.

The masterplanned estate focuses on quality open public space and streetscapes with an extensive tree canopy, creating high-quality neighbourhood amenity, Planning Minister Nick Champion said.
“The Noarlunga development presents a unique opportunity to turn empty paddocks into a new and vibrant community,” he said.

“We are keen to hear from the local community about what they think of the draft plans and in particular what elements could be incorporated into the public open spaces,” Mr Champion said.

“Adelaide’s southern suburbs is a hugely popular area and this development has the potential to greatly increase the supply of new housing close to existing shops, services and public transport.”

House construction at the site is expected to begin in early 2026 with first residents due to move in early 2027.

There will be two community drop-in sessions at the Port Noarlunga Arts Centre on Saturday from 11am-2pm and Tuesday, from 4pm to 7pm.

You can also provide feedback online from Saturday until August 18 here.

Last month’s state budget included more than $115m for the development of 36.4 hectares of housing at Seaton and more than $80m for the Noarlunga development, with the projects combined attracting a total government investment of $576m over the next 10 years.

Hopefully they will improve some of the active transport connections between this development, Noarlunga Station and Colonnades. Tt's definitely not the best or safest to walk around there, especially at night.

It's built and opened late last year: https://morphettville.com.au/wolf-blass ... nt-centre/

They've also recently built some new state-of-the-art stables along Morphett Road, presumably in preparation for the housing redevelopment where Magic Millions is stabled on the Plympton side.

Wonderful. I haven't been past that way for a little while. Dare I say also, it's not very noticeable from the tram.

Going to be a lot of positive change around there over the next year and more.

800 new homes for Aldinga in net zero-carbon housing development, with over 55s lifestyle village, cafe, pool
More than 800 homes will be built at Aldinga under a net-zero plan that’s “blazing a new path” for mainstream housing estates.

More than 800 new homes will be built in a landmark, $400m, net zero-carbon community in Adelaide’s south that includes a lifestyle village, residents’ club and space for an expanded Seaford rail line.

Construction is set to start next year after Villawood Properties was announced as developer for the 45ha site beside the new Aldinga College on Main South Rd.

A mix of townhouses, detached home and semi-detached homes will be built, with at least 25 per cent affordable.

About 200 homes will be part of an over-55s lifestyle village on the western side of the land, toward the beach.

The project will include a central community club including a pool, gym and cafe called Club Aldinga.

Villawood Properties Chief Executive Alan Miller said the “seriously ground-breaking” project was “blazing a new path for mainstream sustainable housing and premium affordability for the entire country”.

“We haven’t seen all the elements of cost, design, sustainability, social connection and quality come together like this before in any mainstream housing project in Australia,” he said.

“Aldinga is rewriting how new communities are designed, how lifestyle and climate considerations are factored into them and how home buyers can far more easily access the property market.”

Extensive open space, parks, reserves and chain-of-ponds corridors will be included, along with at least 25 per cent tree canopy.

The lifestyle village will consist of two- and three-bedroom homes, surrounded by planned recreational offerings.

A clubhouse is planned with pool, spa, sauna, gym, bar, community area and cinema.

The energy efficient estate includes light-coloured roofing, gas-free solar, heat pumps, batteries and a microgrid, specially orientated lots, as well as mandated sustainable building materials.

With 16 per cent open space, the all-electric development would create a “sustainable community”, Planning Minister Nick Champion said.

The lifestyle village will be split from the rest of the development by 60m-wide rail corridor to provide long-term options for a Seaford rail line extension to Aldinga.

Villawood will build a north-south shared use path along the eastern edge of the rail corridor.

The future rail corridor will be landscaped as additional open space until the rail line is extended.

The 45-hectare site is bordered by Quinliven Rd to the north, Main South Rd to the east, Aldinga Beach Rd to the south and How Rd to the west and is adjacent the new birth-to- year 12 Aldinga Payinthi College.

Villawood will be supplied with water and sewer infrastructure and will pay the $10,000 per-allotment greenfield augmentation charge outlined in the Housing Roadmap.

Local MP Leon Bignell said the community was behind the plan.

“It’s adamant that it had to be done in a sustainable way that everyone can be proud of, rather than one where shortcuts are taken, and design and environmental factors aren’t given the highest priority,” Mr Bignell said.

Premier Peter Malinauskas said it would create an entirely new, vibrant community in a booming area of Adelaide.

“This government is taking action to address the housing crisis and this is the type of master-planned development that will help us increase the supply of housing for South Australians,” he said.

The lifestyle village model – which usually involves people buying an off-the-plan home and renting the land – is becoming increasingly popular across SA, with villages being built or planned at Victor Harbor, Goolwa, Encounter Bay, Murray Bridge and Mount Barker, often with other housing estates.

Public engagement on Villawood’s draft masterplan will occur later this year.

Greater Adelaide Regional Plan forecasts population of 2.2m within 30 years
More apartments and higher density homes are earmarked in a 30-year plan to end the housing crisis and boost Adelaide’s population.

Apartments and higher density housing are earmarked along major roads and public transport centres in a 30-year plan to boost Adelaide’s population to 2.2m and add more than 300,000 homes.

Pitched as a blueprint to make homes more affordable and prevent further supply shocks, the Greater Adelaide Regional Plan pinpoints northern Adelaide and Murray Bridge as twin engine rooms of growth as an urban growth boundary is ditched.

Controversial infill development spread across the suburbs is sidelined as Housing Minister Nick Champion concedes this is starting to overload parking, stormwater drains, sewerage and traffic.

Seven new greenfield growth areas are targeted for 96,000 homes over the next 30 years. Four of these in the north, at Two Wells, Roseworthy, Riverlea and Kudla.

More than 100,000 homes, or 36 per cent of Adelaide’s housing target growth to 2051, are earmarked for the north – 22 per cent, or 70,000 homes are in Adelaide’s outer north alone.

A new linear park of more than 500ha is planned to run from the Hills face at Uleybury, through Evanston Gardens and along the Gawler River.

The 30-year plan charts 14 “strategic infill sites” for higher density homes, including Elizabeth, Port Adelaide, Noarlunga, Paradise Interchange, Unley Rd and the Norwood Parade.

This involves focusing on major suburban centres and main roads with existing infrastructure, along with reviving the transit-oriented developments (TODs) proposed by the Rann Labor government, that resulted in the Bowden precinct.

In an interview with The Advertiser, Mr Champion said the document was “a long-term plan to prevent future housing shocks and future housing crises”.

“If we want to keep rents low, if we want to keep housing affordability within the grasp of the next generation, we have to start planning now,” he said.

“Rents are going up and housing prices are going up. The only thing that can fix those two things is supply in the short, medium and long-term.”

The 30-year-plan, to be released on Monday for consultation, replaces a planning blueprint first released in 2010. It includes:

FORECASTS for an extra 315,000 houses and 254,000 jobs, supporting an extra 670,000 residents of greater Adelaide – a 46 per cent increase on today’s population of 1.5m.

LIMITING housing growth in Adelaide’s outer south to 22,000 homes, or just seven per cent of the 2051 target.

ENCOURAGING more retirement living options, including duplexes, small-scale apartments, build-to-rent schemes and terraces.

REDEVELOPING former industrial land in “state significant precincts” in areas such as Thebarton (former brewery), Keswick (Le Cornu) and Kent Town/Stepney.

ADELAIDE’S central business district pinpointed for high-density apartments and playing “a more important role in delivering convenient and affordable” homes.

MAJOR growth area infrastructure and planning, for developments including Concordia and Roseworthy, to be spearheaded by the state government.

Mr Champion cited the billion-dollar redevelopment of Thebarton’s 8.4ha former West End Brewery site, where 1000 homes are proposed, as a key example of “strategic infill”.

“We know that previous incarnations of the plan probably had an over-reliance on general infill in existing communities,” he said.

“ … It’s now starting to create infrastructure costs in existing suburbs, around stormwater, tree canopy, sewerage, traffic and the like.

“What we want to do is focus on areas of housing supply that can bring us good results with greater densities and greater housing outcomes, but that are better planned and better able to be digested by the city.”

The 30-year blueprint follows Premier Peter Malinauskas in June revealing average water bills would rise by $85 annually to fund a $1.5bn water and sewer infrastructure surge to unlock 40,000 home allotments within four years.

Unveiling his Housing Road Map, Mr Malinauskas labelled water and sewerage connection failures to Adelaide’s growing north a “public policy disaster”, saying $1.2bn of the record spend would fund connections to northern greenfield developments.

At the time, the Opposition said Mr Malinauskas’s announcement of the largest single release of residential land in the state’s history, made in February last year, appeared to be in “complete and utter tatters” because of inadequate water and sewer connections.

That land release comprised parcels for 10,000 homes each at Dry Creek and Concordia (on Gawler’s northeastern fringe), at least 2000 homes at Hackham and 1700 at Sellicks Beach.
