The plan

The Felixstow Neighbourhood Renewal Project will replace ageing South Australian Housing Trust homes with new homes, create better quality social housing, increase housing choice and affordability, and create jobs.

The Felixstow Neighbourhood Renewal Project area consists of a 9.3 hectare site, situated six kilometres from the city and bounded by Briar Road, Langman Grove, Shirley, Redden, Fraser, Reid and Thrower Avenues.

The project will involve a staged redevelopment or refurbishment of 86 South Australian Housing Trust properties and increase the total number of homes in the area from 100 to around 190-200, of which 60-70 will be Housing Trust homes. The remaining homes will be sold privately. Final numbers may vary as renewal plans are fine tuned.

No apartment buildings are proposed and most new homes will be one- and two-storey.

An independent traffic assessment concluded that there will be minimal impact on existing conditions.

Renewal SA will partner with City of Norwood Payneham St Peters council to upgrade and improve the public realm and infrastructure.

Project plan

Create a vibrant mixed and balanced community by reducing the public housing concentration
Provide a range of housing types to meet varied lifestyle needs and budgets primarily comprising one- and two-storey homes
Deliver new social housing and innovative small lot housing to achieve a range of housing styles for differing lifestyle needs including affordable housing choices

Renewal outcomes

Improve the quality of public housing
Focus housing growth in established suburbs, close to transport, and other services and facilities
Improve access to affordable housing through purchase and rental
Improve the aesthetics and amenity of streets and open space
Create jobs for a range of businesses in the building and constructions industries and supporting services.

Community consultation

We are committed to engaging with Housing Trust tenants, private property owners/occupiers, the local community and other stakeholders throughout the life of the renewal project to:

bring the voices of impacted tenants into the relocation decision making process
ensure that Housing Trust tenants, the local community and other key stakeholders have the opportunity to help shape the renewal of the physical environment
ensure that everyone is kept informed at all stages of the project.

Community feedback

In August-September 2016 we invited the community to 'have a say' about how they would like to see the area renewed.

Feedback gathered from the two community drop-in sessions and the online survey has been compiled into an engagement report (right or below) that will be used to assist in developing the Urban Renewal Area Plan for Felixstow.
