From 1 July 2018, SA Housing Authority became responsible for renewing social housing on behalf of the Government of South Australia.
Goodman Court is an exciting landmark urban renewal project.
Goodman Court, South Plympton was a prime one-hectare site situated just seven kilometres south-west of the city centre and four kilometres from the coast.
Situated near public transport, shopping precincts and other services, Goodman Court represented an ideal opportunity for more people to live in a great location.
Delivery of this project has seen the former 52 South Australian Housing Trust walk-up flats constructed in 1953 on this site—which were dated in design and in structurally poor condition—replaced with a mix of new housing.
Greaton was appointed as project developer for Goodman Court and construction of Parkview on Pleasant was completed in September 2019.
Community feedback helped shape the concept design of the new housing development, which provides a mix of new private and social housing types to suit a range of households, including families, older people, singles, buyers and renters.
The new development comprises two small-scale, three-storey apartment buildings, and a range of two- and three-storey townhouses.
A key feature of the new development is a large public reserve fronting onto Pleasant Avenue. This was provided in response to community feedback identifying that more publicly accessible open space was needed in South Plympton.
Aims of the project included:
