Road Corridor Gives Way to Homes in Adelaide

Land set aside for a road north of Adelaide will now become a 220-home community under plans by the City of Salisbury. The council has unveiled its masterplan for the Walkleys Road Corridor development that aims to transform the Ingle Farm area into a new community. The corridor was set aside for use as a future road but the council has decided the road is now not required and has identified the site for future housing and open space. The proposed site is about 11km north-east of the Adelaide CBD on Walkleys Road between Baloo Street and Sullivan Road. Details regarding home sizes, room numbers and final development costs are to be determined but, according to online project monitor BCI Central, development costs are estimated at $130 million. The council said housing designs would include a mix of single-storey two to four-bedroom houses and low-maintenance townhouses. Lots would range from 300sq m to 600 square metres. ‘Superlots’ marketed towards downsizers and first-home buyers would be set away from existing housing but closer to public transport, community facilities, shops and offices. Encumbrance guidelines will be prepared to minimise double-storey development. ▲ Overview of the Walkleys Road Corridor development area. A key component of the development is the creation of parks, open spaces and play spaces within the existing Baloo Reserve. Community consultation for this has been completed, with residents expressing a strong desire for more recreational opportunities. The final plan includes refinements based on feedback from the community such as improved public safety, with increased passive surveillance to enhance safety and security for residents; high design standards that complement the Ingle Farm character and quality public spaces that “strive to create a visually appealing and inviting environment”. The City of Salisbury has previously filed plans for a $200-million town centre revitalisation , comprising more than 200 homes, a hotel, shops and commercial facilities, at a 2ha site 25km north of Adelaide. The city said its Strategic Property Development Program had successfully transformed underutilised reserve space into “attractive, thriving communities that have given new residents and existing local residents looking for a change in their lifestyle, the opportunity to experience what the City of Salisbury has to offer”. The lead consultant is URPS, with Emma Williams listed as the principal consultant and project manager. Expressions of interest have been opened to build display homes, with tenders expected to be sought from selected builders next month ahead of contracts being awarded in November.
