RENEWAL SA has released 60 hectares of land in Adelaide’s outer south to the market, which is expected to make way for 1,000 low and medium-density houses after being rezoned earlier this year.
Bound by Main South, Aldinga Beach, How and Quinliven roads, the Aldinga site neighbours the nearly-completed Aldinga B-12 school and has been given master planned neighbourhood zoning, as part of the new planning and design code, which allows for development of up to three storeys for houses.
Onkaparinga Council had been pushing for the more restrictive master planned township zoning that would allow only lower density housing.
For Renewal SA, it is the latest release of land to the market following the 5.81 hectare former Gasworks site at Bowden at the end of July, while it has also been looking for a developer for the former Le Cornu in Forestville that the South Australian government bought from German hypermarket Kaufland.
It has launched a registration of interest campaign for the Aldinga site that it intends to be the first of two stages, with a request for proposal to follow.
Renewal SA expects all dwellings built on the Aldinga site to achieve at least a 7 Star NatHERS rating or higher, and feature open spaces including a linear corridor and considered interfaces with Main South Road, Aldinga Sports Park, Aldinga CFS, Cardijn College Galilee and the new school.
It said the land “represents a significant development opportunity that will support projected population growth in one of the fastest-growing regions in the state”.
“Located in enviable proximity to the iconic Port Willunga beach, McLaren Vale wine region, Aldinga’s town centre and some of Adelaide’s best diving and tourist spots, the site also neighbours the town’s new birth to year 12 school, Aldinga Payinthi College, and will be at the centre of major redevelopment in the region.
Registrations of interest close 30th November. James Juers and Simon Lambert of McGees Property Adelaide are managing enquiries.
