[crawf]

The proposed Cinema will be located behind the city to Gawler side of the railway lines- as you come from mawson onto elder smith part of Mawson Central west.

Also new greek kabab cafe opening on ground floor of the broadview appts next to woolies.

New shopping centre is still in planning stage for vacant lot next to woolies- approx 4 story 2 levels of shopping, 1 level carpark and 1 level office space.

DFO (direct factory outlet) along main north road, parafield airport as part of the $400mil new shopping and business precinct.
DFO's are located in the eastern states and are more up market outlet stores then you get at harbour town.

Proposed extention to the mawson lakes golf club to 18 holes.

New sports centre Gym as part of Uni SA to be developed next to Escarda along main street.

***BIG NEWS*** DELFIN and Ridley ptl ltd (owners of the salt lakes at dry creek) are in neg. to move salt lakes further north and redevelop land as mixed use commercial/retail/residential housing upto 20000 people.(bigger version of M/lakes

This is in the early stages- as proposed northern corridor needs to be re-examined. at this stage no news if it will again be called mawson lakes or something else. The land avail is almost double the size allocated to delfin for the original mawson lakes development- and stretches from corner of salis. hwy and port wakefield road to behind the exit to hanson road.

Thanks for the updates King_Kong, interesting times ahead. Though I thought it was reported in the media months ago that Harbourtown was going there?. I hope your right though, it would be good to have a DFO in Adelaide plus it will give Harbourtown competition and kill of the small number of factory outlets along Glen Osmond Road completely

The city of salisbury is even looking to take a leaf out of its own book with mawson lakes and looking to redevelop salisbury in a similar fashion. john st salisbury which is now only know for its banks, mortage brokers and quick cash companies is looking to revitalise john st by giving it a face lift, bringing in more cafes and resturants and building residential aptms above.

Good to hear, I'm still surprised that Salisbury wasn't included in the State Governments 30 year TOD vision for Adelaide.

this is what Adelaide needs. there are only 3 major suburbs in adelaide that offer retail/residential mixed dwellings. Adelaide CBD, glenelg and Mawson Lakes.

And West Lakes and Port Adelaide

Macq3 plans $65 million private hospital at Mawson Lakes

Article from: The Advertiser

MAWSON Lakes residents will have ready access to general and maternity health services and plastic surgery as part of a proposed $65 million private hospital.

Developer Macq3 has applied to Salisbury Council to build a four-storey, 78-bed hospital in Mawson Lakes' business district.

Director Kon Andrews said support from Mawson Lakes developer Delfin Lend Lease and Salisbury Council had given the company confidence for the likely approval of the development.

"The way we have viewed it, the northern region is the fastest-growing region of Adelaide and the new infrastructure in place is very encouraging," Mr Andrews said.

"Also, the demographics of the region support the proposal, as does the uptake of private health insurance."

Mr Andrews said the company had been in discussions with several national health providers to run the hospital, but would require State Government approval to open.

State Health Minister John Hill said the Government had already had preliminary discussions with the company.

Salisbury Mayor Gillian Aldridge said the hospital, if approved by the council's development assessment panel, would offer a convenient alternative to the Lyell McEwin Hospital, which opened in 1959.

"It might be better if it was a public hospital, but all the services of doctors and specialists will be there, which will make it better for people in the area," she said.

"I would like to think they would put in an after-hours or emergency section, but I guess we will wait and see."

State president of the Australian Private Hospitals Association Stephen Walker said the facility might face significant financial challenges.

"It is a very difficult environment for private hospitals in SA from a financial perspective," he said.

"There is very little margin, so it's very difficult."

Macq3 intends the hospital to specialise in general, orthopedic, gastrointestinal and plastic surgery, and have a focus on obstetrics, gynaecology and rehabilitation.

Its 78 beds will include six neonatal special care cots.

exactly what Adelaide's suburbs need; essential infrastructure projects and planning built before there's a desperate need for them.

[skyliner]

Some true forward thinking - excellent! Beat the problem as it is expected to develop before it arrives.Nice looking design too!

Thats actually a huge reservation of land north of the Port River Expressway. Even I believe that 20,000 homes is a conservative estimate - assuming that the site boundary is Little Para River - I would say that'd be more accomodating for at least 40,000 homes or at least 100-120 thousand people. This would be a good development hotspot to attract new migrants, particularly the 50,000 Filipinos - could establish a town centre that reminesces their homeland?

Its not that simple Shuz. Roads, infrastructure, commercial properties, parks, lakes etc all take up space and therefore lessens the amount of residential property allotments. Its all about balance in a development like this, not jamming in as many people as you can. Also, if you 'patronise' the Filipino’s by way of establishing a town centre for them, you in turn alienate other potential buyers / investors.

No offence intended at all here Shuz, just an educated observation. However, what you are describing above would basically be to purpose build a ghetto for Filipinos. Take it from someone who has seen these ghettos in other countries, it's a very, very bad idea! You would end up with an alienated Filipino community that everyone else who is not filipino would also feel alienated from. These race-specific developments almost always lead to very high levels of crime and unemployment, and a whole host of other social problems.

As someone who has been to the Philippines several times and knows it well, I can also tell you the last thing anyone here (including Filipinos) would want is a town centre that resembles the Philippines in any way whatsoever!

I'm sure you're intentions were good in suggesting it, but the built up areas of the Philippines are a filthy polluted dump, and the town centres are disgusting. Most Filipinos who emigrate here would be only too glad to get away from that (not withstanding they would of course miss their families, I'm only talking about the place not the people).

This looks like a brilliant entry statement to Mawson Lakes. Is it offices only or some retail etc too?

I thought the Phillipines (moreso Manila, the capital) was a relatively 'developed' city? Hence why I suggested the concept - and I would expect nothing less than standard new development housing pratice. No ghettos or anything, but a community where the Filipino influence is culturally strong - mirrored in public artworks, cuisine (cafes, restuarants) even scooter lanes or something like that, where they would feel a sense of cultural belonging in a modern environment.

Oh I see! Well in that case I agree. I thought you meant a Filipino style town centre, which would be terrible! However a nice modern well-designed town centre, with a bit of SE Asian influence as you said, would be a very nice idea.

According to the News Review Messenger, this has been canned:

Mawson Lakes loses hospital

PLANS to build a $65 million private hospital at Mawson Lakes have been canned after developers failed to find an
operator for the hospital in the wake of the global financial crisis.

Salisbury Council approved plans in October to build a four-storey hospital in the central business precinct, facing
Elder Smith Rd.

However, developer Macq3 Projects director Kon Andrews told the News Review Messenger last week that while there
had been support from the medical community such as gynecologists and oncologists the hospital had been scrapped
because of a lack of interest from private operators to run the hospital. [...]
