Have your say on a proposal to realign a portion of a suburb boundary and create a new suburb in Adelaide’s south

The South Australian Government is seeking community feedback on a proposal to establish a new suburb, to be known as South Beach, through the realignment of part of the existing Lonsdale suburb boundary.

The former Port Stanvac refinery site is planned to become a new 230-hectare master-planned mixed-use community comprising approximately 3,600 homes, employment land, public open space, community facilities and transport connections. The proposed suburb name and boundary realignment would help create a distinct identity for the future community.

Community consultation is being undertaken in accordance with the Geographical Names Act 1991 and will help inform recommendations from the Surveyor-General before the matter is considered by the Minister for Planning.

All submissions received during the consultation period will be considered before a final decision is made.

Have your say

Consultation is open until Monday 23 November 2026.

Learn more about the proposal, view the boundary map and provide feedback through the online YourSAy consultation page. Feedback can also be submitted via email or post.
