This Code Amendment proposes to rezone the former ExxonMobil Port Stanvac refinery, in Lonsdale (the Affected Area).
The Affected Area comprises approximately 230 hectares of land which is currently zoned Strategic Employment.
The Code Amendment proposes to enable the development of a master planned, mixed-use precinct including:
A predominantly low-rise, medium density urban form, with some mid-rise buildings in strategic locations such areas with coastal views, proximity to retail services and the Lonsdale Railway Station.
Housing typologies that respond to affordability pressures in the south of Adelaide, including a mix of apartments, townhouses, aged care accommodation as well low-density allotments.
Neighbourhoods that complement and are seamlessly integrated with surrounding areas.
A connected coastal reserve that is publicly accessible and celebrates cultural and environmental values and responds to the site’s key features.
A vibrant mixed-use centre with local community facilities, retail, and complementary housing that promotes walkable communities with strong connections to the Lonsdale Railway Station.
Strategic employment land that supports a mix of retail, service-based industries, manufacturing and technology.
A variety of public open spaces, featuring playing fields, lawns, planting, trees, and spaces for passive recreation.
A combination of zones and subzones are being considered to achieve this outcome including the Strategic Employment Zone, Urban Neighbourhood Zone, Master Planned Neighbourhood Zone and Conservation Zone (or similar).
This proposal provides a sophisticated, design-led approach to make the most of the site's natural landscape and access to infrastructure, to create a vibrant, walkable community with diverse employment opportunities that respond to market demand.
A high-level master plan is being prepared, to underpin the Code Amendment and will form the basis of a new Concept Plan to be included in the Code.
