You could sensibly argue that it isn't worth preserving, or that there are ways of preserving it despite the tall buildings, or even that it doesn't exist... but he feel of the development along the major roads tells you nothing about the feel of the residential areas behind.

Too bad the Playford Alive project practically turns it's back on the older suburbs.

Aren't they demolishing half of Smithfield and Daveron Park and replacing it with new housing?. I noticed when I drove through the area months ago, that there was so much vacant land around existing streets.

$130m Woodville West development taking shape

AN OVERHAUL of Woodville West is beginning to take shape, with more than 35 apartments sold in a housing development next to Albert Park railway station.

The $130 million development, known as The Square, involves 180 homes - the majority owned by Housing SA - being razed and replaced with 450 townhouses, apartments, lofts and villas.

Project sales consultant Chris McCauley said several small parks had been built and work on cycling and walking paths would soon be underway.

He said he expected nine more completed apartments, at the corner of West Lakes Blvd and Clark Tce, to be sold within four weeks.

"The apartments are attracting young professionals aged in their 20s and 30s who want easy access to the city," Mr McCauley said.

"These people will likely grow out of the apartments when they want families but they can see the future rental value because they are only 150m from the Grange train line which goes into the city."

Mr McCauley said Woodville West was one of several western suburbs, such as Ferryden Park, which were being overhauled from Housing SA precincts into solid investment opportunities.

"A lot of buyers have been able to take advantage of both the first homeowner's grant and new construction grants, which could apply to them."

The project will include some properties held exclusively for first home buyers for 90 days and social housing for people with disabilitites.

About 35 residents have already move into the development, including Rosslyn Lauder, who said it was the proximity to both the beach and city which drew her back to the western suburbs after living in Glenside for 19 years.

"It is really great to see how much the are has grown since I left," Ms Lauder said.

"I looked at Glenelg and Norwood but this just felt like it was better value and I could not be happier here."

A spokeswoman for Renewal SA said the homes were selling faster than forecast.

The remaining sales will mark the end of the project's first stage, with a further five stages to be completed.

The development, which is planned to include a central square with shops, public art spaces and a cafe, playground and plaza, is expected to be finished in 2018.

Harris Scarfe Hi Rene. Our Colonnades store opening has been rescheduled to early next year unfortunately. The building in which we will be situated is being built still. The good news is that because of the extra time, we are now able to open a full line store and not just a hs home store.

So it looks like we'll have to wait a few months while they get themselves organised

KRISPY Kreme plans to open a 24-hour, seven day a week drive-through shop on Port Rd in West Croydon.
June 19, 2013


The $2 million, two-storey complex would also be a manufacturing site for the American brand and would distribute the doughnuts to other Krispy Kreme franchises, which the company plans to open throughout Adelaide.

A convenience store and a new service station are also planned for the site, near Port Rd's intersection with Rosetta St, about 5km from the CBD.

For years lovers of the doughnuts have been forced to bring them home from the eastern states.

Peregrine Corporation - which owns the On The Run fuel and retail outlets - has lodged plans for the Port Rd store with Charles Sturt Council. The company has also applied for approval from Salisbury Council for another outlet at Port Wakefield.

Krispy Kreme general manager Mark Higginbottom said more than 30 jobs would be created by the Port Rd store's opening. Another 30 are expected to be created at Port Wakefield.

"We hope to introduce this brand to SA six months from the date of receiving a council approval," Mr Higginbotham said.

He said Peregrine would spend $10 million over the next three years on building Krispy Kreme outlets and marketing the brand in SA.

The company is also planning a shop in the CBD after the Port Rd and Port Wakefield sites are established. The brand is now sold in 21 countries.

Mr Higginbotham said the company had consulted residents near the Port Rd site and he did not expect any complaints.

Residents can view plans for the outlet at West Croydon on the council's website, http://www.charlessturt.sa.gov.au.

Submissions are open until tomorrow (Thursday, June 20).

The company has also applied for approval from Salisbury Council for another outlet at Port Wakefield.

Port Wakefield? OrPort Wakefield Road? Both locations don't really seem quite right.
