Exciting progress for the centre of Playford. Exciting progress has been made to transform the centre of Playford into a retail, business and entertainment precinct, with proponents being selected to develop site-specific, detailed proposals for the development of the CBD. At a Special Council Meeting on Tuesday 30 November, Council selected proponents to develop comprehensive concept designs for allotments within the CBD site along Main North Road at Elizabeth. It moves the project a step closer to understanding what new buildings, features and experiences will form part of the renewed city centre. With a population that is expected to reach 132,000 by 2036, a revitalised CBD will meet the needs of the city’s rapidly-growing community. It also responds to growth in areas beyond Playford, such as Gawler, Light and the Barossa, with the CBD acting as a centre that services regional communities to the north. Importantly, developing a vibrant CBD fulfils a key aspiration from the Playford Community Vision 2043, with the community expressing their desire for a vibrant and active city centre. Detailed concept designs must be in line with this vision. Council is also seeking assurance of delivery from proponents, to ensure that any accepted plans are delivered in a reasonable timeframe. The decision follows a recently held Expression of Interest process in which the market was invited to submit proposals to Council.
