22.2 Inner Harbour Plans

Planning of the Adelaide Inner Harbour into the long-term included development of multiple options in their own right, over and above the options relating to the Outer Harbor.

In essence, it was recognised that the longterm options for the Inner Harbour are limited due to its spatial and physical constraints. It was also recognised that the various competitive encroachments in the area are likely to result in increased demand for the land for non-port related uses out to 2070. Additionally, the ability to dredge within the Inner Harbour to provide full unconstrained access for future vessels would be problematic and the existing trades, for various reasons were anticipated to manage operations within the current restrictions.

This resulted in a preferred option to consolidate the majority of Inner Harbour trade along the eastern side of the Port Adelaide river, including relocation of Osborne precinct trade, and Berths’ M, N, H and K remaining in place, dependant on the continued viability of the terminals for the various tenants. The Inner Harbour plan is illustrated below.
