Creating a plan for Port Adelaide that reflects the needs of community, businesses, and visitors
Over the last eighteen months we have been developing a plan to guide the future development of the Port Adelaide Civic Area Precinct.
The Plan will support business, culture and community life to thrive in the heart of the Port. It is a significant redevelopment that will create a vibrant heart of Port Adelaide in line with the broader regeneration of the Port, which is experiencing significant growth, with new commercial activity and large residential developments underway.
At the meeting held on Tuesday 8 July, the Council approved a concept plan for further business case development around the Precinct Plan. Read the Port Precinct Plan.
This project will begin with the activation of below listed three Council-owned sites available for lease. Applicants were invited to submit Expressions of Interest demonstrating their vision and capacity to deliver positive outcomes for Port Adelaide. The deadline for submissions was Thursday 30 October 2025.
