Development Plan policies have recently been amended within the Riverbank Zone to allow for increased development opportunities to revitalise the Riverbank Precinct. This proposal is consistent with the desired land uses and scale of development identified in the Development Plan and will improve activation of the public plaza. The development is also consistent with the parameters within the Riverbank Masterplan Stage 2, prepared by the State Government for the overall Precinct. An overall redevelopment of the Riverbank Precinct is proposed with an upgrade to the Festival Plaza, a new car park, office tower and retail uses and upgrade to the Adelaide Festival Centre. An application has been lodged by the State Government for the redevelopment of the Plaza and ancillary works. Development applications are expected to be lodged early in 2016 for the other works. The proposed Skycity development has undergone extensive consultation with the Government Architect to ensure it has synergies with the desired outcomes for the Precinct and associated development applications. The proposal is generally consistent with the desired character for the Riverbank Zone and the Entertainment Policy area with a development that has active land uses which front the public plaza and assist in the revitalisation of the Precinct. The development allows for the selected view corridors to be maintained, as identified in the Development Plan, creating visual connections between important buildings and public spaces. The development has the general support of the Government Architect, subject to further details. However, the State Heritage Unit has raised concern that the proposal will impact on the heritage values of the Adelaide Railway Station and the Adelaide Festival Centre due in part to the: proximity to these buildings; loss of the view of the northern face of the Railway Station; ‘crowding’ of the space adjacent to the Dunstan Playhouse; orientation of the building with a lack 2 Development Assessment Commission AGENDA ITEM 3.1 21 January 2016 of consideration of the 45 degree axis of the Festival Centre; and a bulk and scale that is incompatible with existing buildings. The impacts on the heritage context are acknowledged and are considered in detail in the report. While the proposal is inconsistent within the existing scale of development, the character of the Precinct is set to change where buildings of up to 20 plus storeys can be contemplated. The heritage impacts need to be balanced against the desired character of development envisaged in the entertainment Precinct and the Government’s future direction for uplift of the area. The Precinct has complex site constraints, given the different ground planes and variety of land uses in the vicinity and vehicular requirements for loading, unloading, waste management etc. Given the civic nature of the space the pedestrian amenity and wayfinding throughout the site are paramount for a successful Precinct. This application is limited to the casino expansion, hotel, café and restaurant uses and their associated vehicle drop off and waste management areas. The overarching access to the site will be considered as part of the redevelopment of the Festival Plaza. It is noted that the applicant has had regard to other proposed developments in the Precinct in the formation of their proposal. There are matters of a technical nature that require further consideration which are recommended to be resolved by reserve matters and conditions. ASSESSMENT REPORT 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 Strategic Context On 17 October 2013, the Minister for Planning rezoned the subject land from the Institutional (Riverbank) Zone to Riverbank Zone and Entertainment Policy Area 28. Policy amendments were made to recognise the need for a redeveloped car park and to provide additional development opportunities that would help enliven the Riverbank Precinct. As part of this initiative, policies were introduced that provide for a more performance based planning approach and place a stronger emphasis on the overall planning and design merit of an individual proposal. 1.2 Pre-Lodgement Process The proponent entered the pre-lodgement process and undertook four design review sessions and several information sessions. The application details progressed through these sessions, however the applicant lodged the applications prior to reaching any pre-lodgement agreements and as such formal referrals were undertaken following lodgement. 1.3 Other developments in the Precinct The South Australian Government is facilitating the development of a new car park within the precinct to replace the existing Festival Centre car park. The casino has reached agreement for the use of a portion of this car park, however the car park does not form part of the application. On 8 December 2015 a development application (DA 020/V091/15) was lodged under Section 49 of the Development Act, 1993 for the redevelopment of the Festival Plaza, including demolition works and upgrade to Festival Drive and Station Road. This application is on public notification from 13 January 2016 until 4 February 2016. Details can be viewed on the DAC website and the Renewal SA website. Below are some images lodged for that application. 3 Development Assessment Commission AGENDA ITEM 3.1 21 January 2016 Source: ARM (DA 020/V091/15) 1.4 Masterplan for the Riverbank Precinct The Adelaide Riverbank Festival Plaza Precinct is located between King William Road, North Terrace and the River Torrens. The Precinct is one of Adelaide’s most culturally and historically significant places, however is structurally difficult. Following a number of Masterplans, feasibilities and Technical studies the State Government approved a major rejuvenation of the Precinct incorporating public and private investment and development. This includes the Skycity expansion, a replacement carpark and office and retail development, the redevelopment of the Plaza and the upgrade to the Adelaide Festival Centre. ARM were engaged to work with the State in coordinating the integration of these development. 4 Development Assessment Commission AGENDA ITEM 3.1 21 January 2016 In 2014 ARM prepared the Adelaide Riverbank Masterplan Stage 2 which focussed on guidelines for development sites. In March 2015 the Riverbank Authority distilled those principles into the following five place principles: 1. Compelling destination 2. Hear of the Riverbank 3. Event ready 4. Dynamic and evolving 5. Distinctive Renewal SA and the Office for Design and Architecture worked closely with the relevant parties to enable a cohesive development response. As previously mentioned, the upgrade to the Festival Plaza has been lodged under Section 49 of the Development

    NOW IS THE TIME…… THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA What a year it’s been!! A record breaking year for the Adelaide Convention Bureau – results up by 15% and a 180:1 ROI to the South Australian Government. Three years since the first sod of earth was turned, the first stage of projects in the $3 billion re- development of Adelaide’s Riverbank Convention, Research and Entertainment Precinct programme of works have been completed. In the past 12 months, the newly developed $535m Adelaide Oval hosted its first football match and even the Rolling Stone’s.

It doesn’t end there.
