Lion-Beer, Spirits & Wine Pty Ltd as the 'Designated Entity’ is proposing to rezone 8.4 hectares of former brewery land at 107 Port Road. Thebarton. The Affected Area is bounded by Port Road, Anderson Street, Walsh Street, Cawthorne Street, Holland Street, and the Karrawirra Parri/ River Torrens.
The Code Amendment will help facilitate a once in a generation opportunity to transform a former industrial site into a unique world-class lifestyle precinct. The Code Amendment will assist in facilitating the redevelopment of the precinct that aims to:
unlock riverfront open space
provide connectivity to the Adelaide Parklands to the East
celebrate and offer the opportunity for adaptive reuse of heritage assets
capitalise on the exposure and visibility to Port Road
provide greater community connectivity to the Karrawirra Parri/ River Torrens
create a dynamic and vibrant precinct that caters for all daily needs within an easy walking distance
The Code Amendment seeks to allow for a mix of low-rise medium-rise and high-rise buildings primarily for medium to high density housing with supporting retail and commercial land uses. The current zone is mostly within the Strategic Employment Zone, which reflects its former use as a brewery and is intended for a range of industry, logistical, warehousing, storage, research and training land uses. To allow for a mix of medium to high density residential development and supporting retail and commercial and uses, it is proposed to change the zone to an Urban Corridor Boulevard Zone, which is the current zoning for land immediately to the south east of the site. It is also proposed to expand the current Open Space Zone to include the southern bank of the river.
This rezoning will implement key targets of The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide by providing opportunity for increased housing diversity in proximity to community infrastructure and services.
