About the project

Renewal SA is delivering hundreds of new homes within reach of everyday South Australians through a major development at 250B Churchill Road in Prospect.

The 2.36-hectare site is being transformed into Prospect Corner, a vibrant, master-planned community comprising 208 new homes, including 108 multi-storey townhouses and two apartment buildings with a total of 100 apartments.

All apartments will be offered as affordable rentals, and this contributes to at least 55% of all dwellings across the site qualifying under the South Australian Government’s affordable housing initiative, HomeSeeker SA.

The site is ideally located near transport options including Islington train station and will also feature extensive tree planting, a community garden, barbecue facilities, an outdoor gym and a nature play area for children promising a connected, dynamic and inclusive living environment for future residents.

Project progress and status

  • The site was acquired in late 2020 as part of a two-site deal with former retailer Kaufland Australia, which also included the former Le Cornu site at Forestville.
  • The local community was invited to provide thoughts on open space and what they value in future public areas and this feedback informed the development of the master plan for the site.
  • Civil construction is complete and landscaping of the central reserve (Payinthi Reserve) is underway and expected to be completed by Q3 2025.
  • Experienced private developers, Buildtec and Burbank are delivering the two- and three-bedroom townhouses, while Kennett Builders has been appointed to construct the affordable rental apartments with completion on the first building due in Q4 2025.
  • Townhouse development is progressing, with the first residents anticipated to move in late 2025.
  • The Prospect Corner project is generating an average of 80 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs annually, peaking at 144 FTEs per annum midway through the project.

Stakeholder and community

Renewal SA is committed to ensuring that key stakeholders, including the local community, are actively engaged throughout the planning and delivery of the project.

In May 2022, Renewal SA conducted online community engagement to better understand how the Prospect community uses open space and what they value in future public areas. Insights from this consultation directly informed the vision for more functional and inclusive green spaces.

The resulting master plan incorporates high-quality recreational areas, with a focus on revegetation and a target of 20% tree canopy coverage across the site.

In August 2022, the community was invited to review and provide feedback on open space design options through two drop-in sessions and an online platform for gathering feedback.

Engagement reports summarising feedback from both consultation stages, including perspectives from young people, are available for download in the Resources section below.
