Glenside

Glenside offers a unique opportunity to deliver a quality urban infill project that is expected to generate investment of $400 million and approximately 450 construction-related jobs over the next ten years.

The site is located on Fullarton Road, south-east of the Adelaide CBD, adjoining the Adelaide Park Lands between Glen Osmond and Greenhill roads. It is well serviced by transport, retail and other amenities that will support well designed urban form blended with actively used historic character buildings in a natural park land setting.

We aim to ensure that the Glenside development site provides opportunities to meet targets set in The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide and the Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan through creating a well-designed, mixed-use urban neighbourhood in partnership with the private sector.

Engaging the community to help develop the vision for the site and to ensure that tangible community benefits are achieved.

Read about how we’ve achieved this under Community consultation.

Creating a vibrant hub of well-designed retail, commercial, residential and recreational uses that are connected and enhanced by high quality public spaces.

Providing a range of high quality, innovative housing options, including affordable housing, with net densities of around 80-100 dwellings per hectare to achieve social diversity.

Retaining and integrating the site’s heritage features and significant vegetation to create a unique and distinctive place.

Heritage buildings will be adaptively reused as residential homes and/or services such as a café or childcare facility, and The Elms building forecourt will become a focal point of the project.

Promoting sustainable living through intelligent design and improved walking and cycling connections.

New cycling and pedestrian paths are included in the draft master plan and approximately 30 per cent of the site is to be designated for open space, including a stormwater detention area that will be landscaped and enhanced for community use.

Maximising economic development outcomes through construction activity and job creation.

It is estimated that the project will generate the equivalent of 450 full-time construction jobs over a 10-year construction period and $400 million in construction and directly related activity, in addition to substantial wider economic benefits.

Cedar Woods Properties Limited was selected as the preferred proponent to develop the 16.5 hectare Glenside site in September 2015, following an expression of interest process.

In July 2016, the state government accepted Cedar Woods’ $25.8 million offer for the site, pending a number of conditions being met including the outcome of a Development Plan Amendment (DPA). This DPA was approved in December 2016 and settlement will occur on 27 June 2017.

Please visit the Cedar Woods website for further information on the progress of the Glenside development, including registering your interest in property purchase.

We initially sought your ideas at our first Community Consultation Day in February 2015, where all community members were invited to come along and share their ideas about the future of Glenside or submit their ideas via an online survey.

An enthusiastic 900+ responses were received during this first round of consultation.

A second consultation stage was held in November-December 2015 to gather community feedback on a preliminary master plan submitted by Cedar Woods.

We worked on revisions incorporating feedback from the community and stakeholders in the first half of 2016.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during community consultation. A full report and summary of the feedback for each stage is available to download below.
