  • 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.

We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that they are of continuing importance to the Kaurna people living today. Park Lands Event Management Plan Lord Mayor Foreword The Park Lands are one of Adelaide’s great assets, a defining element of our city, providing residents and visitors with recreational and cultural opportunities in a unique setting. Based on Colonel William Light’s 1837 plan for the City of Adelaide, 930 hectares of land were allocated for the creation of the Adelaide Park Lands, which now provide the community with an abundance of open space to enjoy life. While the Park Lands provide extensive picturesque landscapes, they are also a significant contributor to the liveability of the City of Adelaide by showcasing arts and music festivals, major sporting and cultural events, recreational sport, health and well-being activities, community events and casual visitation. Events in the Park Lands create an exciting and culturally enriching Adelaide experience, while contributing significant economic uplift for the state. The Park Lands Event Management Plan aims to support respectful co-existence between events and the local community, managing the balance of maintaining the Park Lands and providing the best experience for all users.

    4.0 ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF COMPONENTS 4.0 ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF COMPONENTS 4.1.26 Tulya Wodli/Park 27 Assessment TULYA WODLI: 921 4.0 ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF COMPONENTS Tulya Wodli/Park 27 Existing Planning / Development Plan Context Tulya Wodli/Park 27 exists within the Bonython Park Precinct PL16 of the City of Adelaide Development Plan (pp. 446-448). Its ‘Environment’ is described as: ENVIRONMENT Planting Character and Landscape Design The Bonython Park Precinct should be characterised by mixed deciduous and evergreen woodland enclosing open turfed space for mainly informal recreation and leisure activities. The diverse character of the park and differing vegetation characters should be integrated by the introduction of a dominant planting theme, in keeping with the desired Torrens Valley character, together with the reinforcements of existing species and the landscaping and redefining of the Torrens watercourse. Screen planting should be undertaken along western boundary roads and around structured plating courts. The banks of the Torrens River, west of the Weir, should be regraded to increase safety and to improve the relationship between the Park lands and the river. The river banks should be panted to encourage the safe breeding of native water fowl. Permanent Structures The items of heritage significance in this Precinct including the Torrens Weir, Adelaide Gaol, North Adelaide Station, various signal boxes, railway buildings and structures, parts of the Police Barracks, and the adjacent olive groves and the stand of Eucalypts between the railway and the river in Park No 27 north, should be conserved and their environment enhanced. Otherwise, buildings in the Precinct should be removed where not required for park or transport usage.
