From 1 July 2018, SA Housing Authority became responsible for renewing social housing on behalf of the Government of South Australia.
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.
The first stage allotment release was announced in February 2018 – read more.
