Spotlight on Adelaide, South Australia... Now Is the Time! the Spotlight Is On SPOTLIGHT ON ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA... NOW IS THE TIME! THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON Adelaide, South Australia is positioning itself on a global scale for major conventions, meetings and incentives. The destination is currently completing an unprecedented level of infrastructure development and investment, further enhancing the city’s already renowned ‘ease of use’ functionality and services to the Business Events sector. A vital component is the re-development of Adelaide’s ‘Riverbank Precinct’ - home to Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Casino, major hotels and surrounding plazas. This area is developing as a world-class convention and entertainment precinct creating a lively and connected promenade including a footbridge linking the Adelaide Oval and northern side of the River Torrens. Complementing these developments is a world leading Health and Medical Research Institute, and other key health and medical developments, cementing Adelaide’s reputation as a hub for related conventions. Adelaide Convention Bureau CEO Damien Kitto underlines the importance of this commitment; “To be successful in the global convention market, a destination must have the right mix, standard and location of core convention infrastructure. By enhancing the Riverbank Precinct, Adelaide is not only able to service major events of 3,000+ participants, but is also creating unique synergies with institutions that will drive and support proven content. Our city has great ambition and intention in this area.” AIRPORT TO CITY IN 15 MINUTES HOTEL GRAND CHANCELLOR INTERCONTINENTAL OAKS EMBASSY ADELAIDE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE OAKS HORIZONS SAHMRI ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL PLAYFORD ADELAIDEROCKFORD MERCURE ADELAIDE CONVENTION CENTRE STAMFORD PLAZA MAYFAIR ADELAIDE CASINO ADELAIDE OVAL ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE HAJEK PLAZA TORRENS FOOTBRIDGE ADELAIDe’s RiveRBANK PRECINCT ADELAIDE CONVENTION CENTRE Convention, Entertainment and Research Precinct World leading convention infrastructure Adelaide’s Riverbank Precinct is an iconic public space, situated Designed to be a safe and inclusive place day and night, a EXPANSION STAGE ONE (COMPLETE) in the heart of Adelaide and fulfils a special role in the life of hallmark of the precinct’s identity and success is its mix of The Adelaide Convention Centre’s two stage $400 million The Brand new Stage One development has recently been the city.

  • A New Masterplan for Adelaide's Riverbank Precinct
    Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net A New Masterplan for Adelaide’s Riverbank Precinct Author : kristen-avis The South Australian government has begun consultations on what should be done in four integral areas including Bonython Park, the old Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) site, the core entertainment area, and the biomedical precinct in order to link the CBD and North Adelaide to attract more activity and investment. Premier Jay Weatherill is confident of the potential of Adelaide’s Riverbank precinct, saying it “will be better than anything other major Australian cities have to offer,” offering Sydney’s Darling Harbour and Melbourne’s Docklands as comparisons. The precinct will include entertainment, retail, arts and sport facilities with work ranging from redevelopment of the Festival Centre to a $40 million footbridge across the Torrens, upgrades to the Adelaide Casino, and the redeveloped Adelaide Oval. Weatherill admits Adelaide has never fully used the river to its advantage but says the new plan will create a new identity for the city with a busy park in the middle of Adelaide. “The River Torrens winding through the heart of Adelaide is one of our city’s best assets,” he says. Adelaide Footbridge Construction Weatherill is inviting South Australians to voice their opinions on how to best revamp the area. Deputy Premier and Planning Minister John Rau says the implementation plan for the Riverbank precinct will be displayed at the Adelaide Convention Centre on June 30. 1 / 3 Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net Developers hope to finalise a blueprint for the area by August.
