1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Adelaide Riverbank FesƟ val Plaza Precinct Public Realm development is the realisaƟ on by the South Australian Government of a long held ambiƟ on. The project involves improving and reinvigoraƟ ng the public amenity and open space surrounding the Adelaide FesƟ val Centre, StaƟ on Road and FesƟ val Drive. The project comprises approximately 26,000 m2 of public open space with an approved capital budget of $126 M. It is a driver for signifi cant private investment.
The Public Realm development will deliver: • A new square adjacent to the Adelaide FesƟ val Centre on grade with North Terrace, StaƟ on Road, the AFC and the southern interface with King William Road. • A pedestrianised StaƟ on Road and improved axial connecƟ on to Dunstan Plaza and Elder Park • Grade separaƟ on of FesƟ val Drive from the Torrens River Footbridge/Train staƟ on pedestrian link • Reinstatement of the FesƟ val Centre ceremonial axis • Reinforcement of the King William Road axis and improved links from the CBD to Elder Park. • RejuvenaƟ on of the Adelaide FesƟ val Centre promenade including widening and on-grade pedestrian connecƟ on to new entries to the FesƟ val Centre, the Dunstan Theatre and the Space Theatre • Refurbishment of the exisƟ ng AFC kiosk, toilets, and Elder Park interface
The Public Realm facilitates: • The extension of Sky City Casino • A 1500-space underground car park • The Walker Retail development to the southern face of the Square • The Walker Commercial Tower development on StaƟ on Road • The Adelaide FesƟ val Centre refurbishment.
The Adelaide Riverbank FesƟ val Plaza Precinct Public Realm is a dynamic, sƟ mulaƟ ng, and innovaƟ ve public open space. It makes the most of the South Australian climate with comfortable spaces that have trees, arbours, water features and grass. It represents a careful response to its context and an astute reinterpretaƟ on of the sites history. It is highly integrated with the networks of the greater city and when complete, the Adelaide Riverbank FesƟ val Plaza Precinct Public Realm will be signifi cant place for current and future generaƟ ons.

The scope of the new works is shown in the drawing package- consis ng of drawing numbers SD-A1010 through to SD-A8015. There are impact works required outside the project site such as reloca on of the King William / Fes val Drive intersec on and traffi c signals, internal modifi ca ons to both the Intercon nental Hotel and Parliament to address changes to loading loca ons, and a modest protrusion into Elder Park by the AFC promenade. These works are shown on the Public Realm drawings. A minor part of the work falls into the Parklands zone, this work will form a separate planning applica on.

THE ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE
The Adelaide Fes val Centre is the cultural focus of the precinct, perhaps the city. The Fes val Centre was completed in 1973 and was listed as a State Heritage Place for its cultural associa ons with the community and the establishment of the Adelaide Fes val of the Arts. Various altera ons and addi ons since its incep on have been detrimental to the integrity of the original design and have contributed to undermining the use of the plaza as a public space. Flightpath Architects have been engaged as a heritage consultant to the Public Realm design team and have prepared a report detailing how the proposed design responds to the signifi cance of the State Heritage Place. The AFC is highly integrated with the public realm. The Public Realm Concept Design deals with all external public open space elements of the AFC. It is the intent of the Public Realm Concept design to:
• Reinstate its ceremonial axis • Reconnect the centre to the Square • Enhance the Centres connec on to Elder park and the River • Revitalise the northern promenade
In addi on to the public realm AFC works there is an AFC refurbishment package of work which deals with its building facades and interiors. Hassell Architects have been engaged directly for this work package and it is part of a separate Concept Design Report. The public realm design has developed alongside the AFC works with Hassell contribu ng to the public realm as a specialist design consultant. VIEW OF FESTIVAL CENTRE FROM PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
CONCEPT DESIGN REPORT / 0972 / ADELAIDE RIVERBANK PRECINCT TCL /7 OLD PARLIAMENT HOUSE
Old Parliament House is located on the corner of North Terrace and Sta on Road and is a brick and limestone building commenced in 1843 with a second stage in 1855. It currently serves as a subsidiary building to Parliament with func on capabili es. The buildings frontage to North Terrace is currently rela vely inac ve and the frontage to Sta on Road with a steel fence and level change is inac ve. The public realm creates an immediate environment that respects its scale and detail and allows the building to be a more ac ve contributor to the precinct.
PARLIAMENT HOUSE
Parliament House is located on the corner of North Terrace and King William Road and is a Greek revival building constructed in two phases from 1874 through to 1939. Parliament fronts North Terrace. A steel fence provides a modest secure cur lage to the north, the west including Old Parliament and to part of the King William Road frontage. It has semi secure loading area accessible from Sta on Road and there is secure underground pedestrian access to the exis ng AFC Carpark via a tunnel. The Public Realm works propose a new northern secure garden to interface with new retail and upgraded public open space. As part of the Walker development proposal the loading is relocated together with secure access point into the carpark which will be accessible via a new li added to the interior of the Parliament building.
ADELAIDE RIVERBANK PRECINCT / 0972/ CONCEPT DESIGN REPORT /8 TRAIN STATION
The Adelaide Train Sta on is located on North Terrace and Fes val Drive and is the Hub for the city train network. The sta on building was constructed in 1928 replacing earlier sta on buildings on the site. The sta on pla orms are accessed from a grand double height concourse on RL 30.00 that will connect directly on grade to the Torrens River Bridge. The sta on building also houses the Adelaide Casino, the State Theatre Company and restaurants (currently Seans Kitchen & Madam Hanoi). The building has a generous canopy to its North Terrace and Sta on Road frontages which provides public thoroughfare and supports street dinning on Sta on Road.
ELDER PARK
Elder Park is a 19th century park on the banks of the Torrens River, its southern edge being defi ned by the AFC. It is a prominent event space hos ng large public events and gatherings of circa 15,000 people. The proposed works within Elder Park are minor and largely confi ned to the Policy Boundary. The Public realm concept design seeks to improve connec vity to Elder Park and to make a more ac ve interface along its southern edge. Included in our appendices is a reference design for possible future improvement of Elder Park to show how the current works would integrate with the future vision.

The precinct contains a number of informing axes and thresholds that extend into the greater city. The reinforcement of these axes and thresholds creates a structure through which to order and define the public open space. They enable the public realm to be viewed as a series of places or locales that while form part of the whole can respond to their individual parameters.

The Plaza is conceived as a South Australian taxonomy, a specimen collec on of the greater South Australia elements and stories. The fundamental elements of stone and water defi ne the ground plane. The stone legacy of South Australia, both the natural eroded forma ons and the textured ochre tapestries of stone wall heritage buildings weave through the paving. The ephemeral nature of the South Australian river, full and fl owing in the wet, reduced to the chain of ponds in the driest seasons informs the water feature. The square embraces the need for shade and seeks to capture the history of the pergola or arbour and the seasonal change of the vines that adorn them.
