Clearly you are confused with West Lakes. Mawson Lakes was never swamp land, it was originally used for sheep grazing/breeding.

Originally? A couple of centuries ago there were no sheep at all in South Australia.

If there wasn't a swamp there, why was the Bennett Drain constructed?

Swampland is compatible with sheep grazing, and some breeds are well suited to it. Romney Marsh is the one that immediately springs to mind, but there are others.

New $59m Co-operative Research Centre for Cell Therapy Manufacturing at UniSA to cure disease

A new research centre at Mawson Lakes will be dedicated to to finding treatment for previously incurable diseases.

A NEW state-of-the-art research centre at Mawson Lakes will be dedicated to find treatments for previously incurable and difficult-to-treat conditions - including Type 1 diabetes.

The $59 million Co-operative Research Centre for Cell Therapy Manufacturing at UniSA will use cell-based therapy and smart materials to repair damaged organs and tissues. The facility is tipped to create more than 2000 jobs across Australia by 2021 - mostly in Adelaide.
It will run a world-first human trial of transplanted cells from human donors which might eliminate the need for daily injections of insulin for the more than 100,000 Type 1 diabetes sufferers in Australia.
Other examples of new technology to be developed include a way to prevent rejection of organ transplants by manipulating cells that "police" the immune system - removing the need for drugs to suppress natural response.
The centre will also develop stem cells with the potential to heal severe foot wounds - formed when a lack of blood flow deprives tissues of oxygen - offering hope to diabetics who face having their legs or feet amputated.
Centre acting managing director Dr Sherry Kothari said the science of cell therapy had developed to the point where a new industry was "suddenly starting to rapidly grow".
"As an industry we're hitting it at the right time, because it is set to grow around the world," she said.
"Given that we are based in South Australia and the centre is headquartered here - and we've had very generous support from the State Government and a lot of our key researchers are based here - I think we would see a lot of these benefits within South Australia."
The centre will bring together materials scientists, cell biologists, bioprocess engineers, clinicians and industry professionals with expertise in advanced manufacturing.
UniSA Professor Rob Short said the work of the new centre would increase the affordability and accessibility of cell therapies.
"Cell therapies offer exciting new possibilities for a range of previously incurable and difficult-to-treat medical conditions including Type 1 diabetes, which affects more than 100,000 Australians," he said.
"They will also provide a platform for healing life-threatening ischemic (lack of blood) foot wounds and progress a new technology for organ transplants that could negate the need for immuno-suppressive drugs."
Prof Short said novel interventions based on smart materials and surfaces would facilitate the cost-effective manufacture and rapid translation of cell therapies into clinical practice.
The Federal Government has provided $20 million over six years to the centre with further funding and support coming from the State Government, research and industry partners.
The centre will also comprise local, national and global manufacturers, researchers from the Queensland University of Technology and Sydney University and from the Royal Adelaide Hospital and St Vincent's and Westmead Hospitals and some key charities.
Its headquarters will be at UniSA's $50 million Materials and Minerals Science building.
UniSA Vice Chancellor Professor David Lloyd said the successful bid to establish the CRC was great news for the university and the state.
"This is a significant area of research that will feed the development of a world-class manufacturing base in South Australia in an area of great benefit locally and globally ... It represents exactly the kind of university, government and industry partnership that stimulates relevant innovation."

I can imagine based on the location it would be owned by the same family as Munno Para, Pasadena, Frewville etc with 'Adelaides finest supermarkets' stores

The green highlighting to the exterior suggests Woolworths is re-locating into the new mall.....

The development is adjacent to stage one of The Promenade in Mawson Central, Mawson Lakes.

This project is Stage 2 of 3 and will comprise the following:

A Woolworths Supermarket with a ground floor area of 3,800m2 and a mezzanine office area of 150m2

Retail specialty tenancies with a total floor area of 1163m2

Office floor areas totalling 593m2

A café with 24 seats

A total of 40 residential units comprising 34 single bedroom units & 6 two bedroom units

An integrated 2 storey car park of 387 spaces

The Stage 2 development will result in relocation of the existing Woolworths supermarket into the new development. The existing
supermarket building within Stage 1 will continue to be used as a retail tenancy (possibly a DDS or similar type of tenant).
