Salvation Army - Whitmore Square

[mattblack]

Do we actually know what's going to happen here? Did I miss something?

[abc]

either its getting demo'ed or rebuilt from the inside out

I posted this on the low/mid rise development page yesterday as I did not realise the Salvation army had its own file...
Salvation army Building in Whitmore Sq/Morphett St is being demolished , picture 17/7/2024 - rear view from Gilbert St. the old cottage on the corner of Gilbert St/Morphet St is still standing (only just as it is propped up). in my opinion it should be demolished as it is structurally unsound.

[EBG]

Demolition is 1/2 done with the whole east side demolished as at 30/7/2024

[EBG]

Demolition is almost complete.it is just a matter of grathering up all the debis

[EBG]

Demolition is nearley complete including old pair of cottages fronting Morphett st, (maybe they just fell down esp the one fronting Gillbert st - this was falling down any way.)

[EBG]

This site has been leveled. Does anyone know what is planed to be built?

[Ben]

It’s still out for consultation. No plans yet.

A lot has happened on site but the works are not for any planned towers. A fence has been put in to divide the land by two and a path for the neighboring salvos units on Gilbert Street has been installed.

its basically a carpark now

Pics as at 09/12.

Carpark. Lawn. The sound of crickets chirping. Doesn't look like anything will be happening in a hurry.

[abc]

dog park?

[Llessur2002]

If it is going to be left empty at least they made the effort to make the site look vaguely respectable. Better than the derelict eyesore that was there.

I imagine it will eventually become an affordable housing development?
