Adelaide's Northern suburbs proposed master plan

A RECREATIONAL saltwater lake, a new marina and an 11km waterfront precinct are proposed as part of a redevelopment of the Dry Creek salt pans north of Adelaide.
Owner of the site, Ridley Corporation, has announced it will forge ahead with plans to develop the plains into a mixed-use urban development to house 20,000 new residents.
The project is being investigated in co-operation with Delfin Lend Lease – the developer behind Mawson Lakes – and the Land Management Corporation, which owns much of the surrounding land.
While the cost of the development has not been determined, the project is 30 per cent bigger in area than the $1.5 billion Mawson Lakes development and will house twice as many people.



Ridley said a preliminary master plan prepared with Delfin Lend Lease had been completed as part of a feasibility study and included:
A DEVELOPMENT area of 980 hectares.
10,000 DWELLINGS housing more than 20,000 residents.
11 KILOMETRES of developable waterfront land.
A 40 HECTARE town centre and mixed-use precinct.
TWO neighbourhood precincts.
A 120-HECTARE saltwater recreational lake with ocean access and marina facilities.
CREATION of dedicated areas for new mangrove habitats and wetlands.
City of Salisbury manager Stephen Haines said it would be an enormous boost to the northern suburbs.
"This proposal will bring support to our commercial centres, it will provide employees for the many jobs being created out here and it will be a boost to the university and schools in this area," he said.
The second phase of Ridley's feasibility plan will be completed by December this year, and the LMC said it expected to provide the State Government with an interim report on the development early next year.
