Wait on defence workers: Port Adelaide’s $40m office tower still only a third full

NO leasing contracts have been signed a month after it was revealed private defence companies would move into the brand new $40 million office building in Port Adelaide because public servants had refused to leave the city.

The former Labor government built the six-storey office tower – which opened last month – with the intention of shifting 500 public servants to the Port as part of its revitalisation effort.

However, following reports of public servants not wanting to move to Port Adelaide – mainly because of the travel time compared to the city – it was announced that two floors would be leased to private defence companies to house workers close to Techport in Osborne.

Infrastructure Minister Stephan Knoll said at the time that the defence sector had been “knocking on its door” to move into the building.

However, a month on, the Nile St building remains about a third full, with 170 government employees based in it.

A State Government spokesman said the process of leasing the remaining office space was still ongoing, describing it as currently “out to market”.

Port Adelaide Labor MP Susan Close said proceeding with the plan to bring in 500 public servants would have brought life back to the Port.

“These workers would have boosted the local economy by patronising our local cafes and bars and encouraging new businesses to open in our area,” Dr Close said.

“Having defence companies here is important but if the building had already been full as Labor planned, the defence companies would still come and move into other buildings – we would have had them as well as the 500 government workers.”

Dr Close questioned when the new building would be full, saying she was “deeply concerned” that the momentum in Port Adelaide could slow.

“The Marshall Government must commit to continuing Labor’s work on the Port renewal and show that they care about our side of town,” she said.

Mayor Gary Johanson said he wanted to hear from Premier Steven Marshall on his plans for Port Adelaide.

“We are so close to amazing things happening in the Port and we just need that final push,” Mr Johanson said.

The State Commission Assessment Panel has approved the first stages of Starfish Developments’ Dock One housing project

THE first stages of a $350 million housing development at Port Adelaide have been given the green light, paving the way for hundreds of new townhouses and apartments.

The State Commission Assessment Panel has approved the first stages of Starfish Developments’ Dock One project, comprising close to 250 townhouses and 68 affordable apartments.

Over the next six-to-ten years, following further approvals, the project will create close to 750 new homes at Dock One and Port Approach.

Starfish Developments managing director Damon Nagel said a recent trip to Venice inspired the design of the new housing precinct.

“In Venice there are no cars, you walk everywhere and so I thought how do we bring this vibe back to Port Adelaide,” he said.

“We’re going to take cars off of the development. What was the main street down the centre of the development, we’ve turned it from a street into a lineal park and communal garden.

“That communal garden will reach a much larger reserve that faces the waterfront.

“We’ve worked with SCAP and we’ve come up with a really good outcome with pockets of parking areas, but most importantly we’ve been able to maintain a lineal park that runs through the spine of the development.”

Remediation and early earthworks have already commenced at the site, and are expected to be completed by the end of the year, when Starfish plans to release the townhouses and apartments onto the market.

Work on roads and other infrastructure is expected to kick off in the first quarter of next year, before commencement of construction on the townhouses in the second quarter.

Mr Nagel said the project would trigger a revival of Port Adelaide, with an influx of new residents from outside of the area expected.

“The thing I’m most encouraged about is that we’ve really been embraced by the local community, and one of the things I’ve been most surprised by is the inquiry coming from people living outside of the area,” he said.

“Our estimate is that more than half of the residents in the precinct will be people who have not lived in the area before.”

Mr Nagel said unlike previous apartment projects in Port Adelaide, the Dock One project would be limited to two and three storey buildings.

“We’re using timber, bricks and metal — a whole range of quality materials that are timeless and that relate back to the old Port Adelaide,” he said.

“And with the train extension, it is now really much more of a TOD (transit-oriented development).

“Port Adelaide has had a lot of stops and starts. But now the demand is right, the economy on the peninsula with the submarines and other economic activity — we think we’ve got the timing right.”

As part of the plans, the old Radio Shack building will be converted into a temporary display centre.

The homes at Dock One and Port Approach form part of the former Labor Government’s plan for 1300 homes as well as shops, cafes, hotels and a public promenade across 21ha on the surrounds of the Port River.

Majority of area will be townhouses because the ground wouldn't be able to support extra weight without expensive foundation ?
