Project planning

Successful urban renewal projects are measured by the delivery of diverse and innovative built form demonstrating the benefits of medium- to high-density living. They also incorporate intelligent, mixed-use integration, high quality public spaces and more opportunities for affordable home ownership.

Overview Urban Design Charter Structure plans

Renewal SA is responsible for identifying and consolidating sites for urban renewal activity and undertaking precinct planning.

We are currently working on preliminary investigations and planning activities on a range of key sites earmarked for potential urban renewal.

Some of the land within these key sites has been declared surplus to government requirements. These sites provide opportunities for private sector development and fulfill the urban infill objectives of The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.

We also work closely with the SA Housing Authority to identify neighbourhood scale urban renewal projects.

Part of our role is to enable attractive investment options for the private sector.

We do this by creating planning certainty and addressing any significant infrastructure and site remediation risks that allow integrated and master planned developments to proceed.

Urban Design Charter

Renewal SA's Urban Design Charter outlines our commitment to the integration of urban design principles at every stage of our projects.

Renewal SA integrates urban design objectives into business processes in both operational practice and project outcomes.

Renewal SA applies urban design principles to all new and existing projects.

Renewal SA employs people with discipline expertise to advise on appropriate urban design principles including two organisational leadership roles that oversee all asset transactions and lead design and innovation strategies.

Renewal SA projects take into consideration the best use of public realm and several projects directly facilitate or create public space.

For major projects, Renewal SA engages appropriate professional providers including architects, planners and landscape designers, to ensure that the best public realm design outcomes are achieved.

Structure plans

Renewal SA is leading the preparation of structure plans to guide future development in key sites across Metropolitan Adelaide.

The purpose of structure planning is to:

spatially represent the objectives for particular areas
ensure that the impact of new development on communities and the environment is appropriately managed
assist in achieving the population, dwelling and employment targets set out in the 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide
identify and facilitate the resolution of strategic infrastructure issues
