Development around the Port

Remove this Banner Ad

The Submarine announcement is great news. It helps sure up the economic future of the Heartland - more so the Lefevre Peninsula than downtown Port Adelaide, but it could be the catalyst for a rejuvenation of that area and the Commercial Road shops. The club has to take advantage of this. With all our defence industry and military contacts the club should set up an advisory board like they did with the China team and Kochie's eastern seaboard team to work out how best to take advantage even if its multi-layered and multi-dimensional like the China strategy. At a minimum the club should invite every executive that comes over from France to witness our game day experience. Like with Mr Gui, you never know what could happen. Maybe invite the head of Renault as well as the head of DCNS over at the same time if they are in Asia and/or Australia at the same time.

But this article last weekend gives a hint of what is to come. Maybe the area can become that high tech hub, the old pubs, wool stores and other old building being converted into backpacker places and the places finally revived. Can't find it on line so here are the bits I though were relevant.

French keen to launch into sub mission.

Port Adelaide is set for a French takeover beginning next year as the first wave of submarine experts moves in at Techport and begins a massive upgrade of the infrastructure. Premier Jay Weatherill has visited the Paris headquarters of DCNS, the French company tasked with designing and building a fleet of 12 new subs in Adelaide as he attempts to maximise local jobs.

...... Mr Weatherill said the first obvious impacts of a sub build that is close to a decade away from cutting steel would be the influx of French experts tasked with refining the detailed design.

"They want to start work immediately. This means that we'll see a physical manifestation of work as soon as 2017 in Port Adelaide." he said. it's also the intention of DCNS to essentially transpose their operations here in France to Port Adelaide. They want to grow their operations in SA, in much the same way as they've constructed their operations here in France. That is massive news for us, a massive multinational company shifting operations to SA and using to SA and using that as a base to grow throughout the Asia Pacific region."

The State Government is currently mulling over an upgrade of Techport to help build future frigates and offshore patrol vessels. But Mr Weatherill said DCNS was planning a huge private investment.

"We'll see people on the ground (and) works in SA as soon as early in 2017," he said. "It will be....items of infrastructure. (But) precisely what they they will be. I don't want to go into that detail yet." Mr Weatherill said many of the French designers would likely become long term Australian residents and a large number of DCNS staff were already lining up for opportunity to shift to SA, and this would enrich the community. He Said, " As I understand it, these are plenty of volunteers."..........

Well then that's it. All you bogan port lads and ladies are about to learn how to French kiss and cook correctly :p
 
More development news on the Port announced today. With the subs having 2,000 to 4,000 permanent workers, better housing and better downtown Port Adelaide amenities, pubs, shops, service industries will all help. Sure up the heartland and the club benefits.


From the pro Port Adelaide redevelopment group Our Port- but they want a balance of the old being renewed and developed -Our aim is to have more people living, working, investing and spending time in the port. Port Adelaide will be a living port that celebrates its maritime past as well as a future that embraces new ideas, innovation and development — a melting pot of historic quality and newfound confidence.

There is a lot more info in the article but here is the intro info and basic map of the development area. The first part of this redevelopment will start this year with York Civil's work on Cruickshank's Corner, where they are moving their national head office to .... I have cut and pasted that info after the map.

The key to all this going ahead has been Incitec Pivot have removed their dangerous chemicals almost 2 years ago, the government brought the land for $15m at the end of 2013 and signed a deal for them to relocate and would facilitate with land and/or moving costs. I heard the Port Mayor on radio this arvo say they would move within 12 months. The next step is to get Adelaide Brighton Cement to move.

PORT ADELAIDE TO BE TRANSFORMED WITH MORE THAN $280M OF PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS

July 13, 2016
The transformation of the historic maritime precinct of Port Adelaide into a thriving residential, commercial and tourist destination is set to continue under the proposed development of nearly 23 hectares of waterfront land.

Two Australian developers and a South Australian construction company have been selected as preferred proponents for five parcels of land on the inner harbor.

The proposals include nearly 1300 homes across four precincts including:

  • 760 homes at Dock One and Port Approach (South) in the east of the inner harbour, to be developed by Starfish Developments, and
  • 500 homes in the North West and Fletcher’s Slip precincts in the west and north of the inner harbour to be developed by Cedar Woods.
A promenade around the inner harbour is proposed maintaining public access to the waterfront, and the old Marine and Harbors building is to be redeveloped into apartments and retail premises, as well as an observation deck and an outdoor cinema.

The residential developments are expected to support about 250 direct and indirect jobs a year during seven years of construction and will generate about $280 million in private investment.

South Australian construction firm York Civil, plans to refurbish the former Primary Industries and Resources SA building at Cruickshank’s Corner and relocate its national headquarters to this site in the Port.

It will initially move about 90 staff to the refurbished building with longer term plans to accommodate up to 500 people in a further new building at the site.

The first stage of the York Civil project is expected to start this year, supporting about 50 jobs during construction and generating private investment of about $2.5 million.

YORK CIVIL
Cruickshank’s Corner
  • Stage One 8000sqm building refurbishment to commence this year
  • York Civil to refurbish vacant former PIRSA building
  • Project includes improving surrounds including new landscaping and car parking
  • Stage Two proposes a new five-storey building within four years
  • Stage Two to accommodation up to 500 people including York Civil personnel and industry partners
  • Also includes publicly accessible waterfront promenade.
.......
York Civil is delighted to be relocating its national Head Office to Port Adelaide, having had a long affinity with the Port dating back to the early beginnings of the company 26 years ago.

York has a strong belief in the redevelopment of the Port and supports the Government’s plans to revitalise a once thriving commercial and social hub of the State. We look forward to developing the facility and to being a part of a thriving and revitalised Port Adelaide.

The story in the Advertiser which basically repeats the facts in the Our Port article.
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/...t/news-story/f0371c9879280f021102dd951fd83b1b
ABOUT 1300 homes including four-storey townhouses, shops, cafes and an outdoor cinema are set to be built along the waterfront in the historic heart of Port Adelaide.

A public promenade around the inner harbour waterfront, converting the old Marine and Harbors building into apartments and shops and the creation of an observation deck are among the other plans for the site being released today. The State Government has selected two Australian developers and a South Australian construction company as preferred proponents for five parcels of land on the inner harbour.

The developments are planned to take up 23ha of the 40ha of land the Government put on the market in May last year.......When the 40ha of land was put on the market, the Government said it could generate up to $2 billion of investment.............This proposal has identified potential more than $1 billion in investment including about 2000 new homes, more than 350 construction jobs a year and up to 2000 ongoing jobs.

The maximum building height across all five precincts will be five storeys, with the exception of the existing seven-storey former Marine and Harbours building which will be retained........
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/...t/news-story/f0371c9879280f021102dd951fd83b1b

There is public housing mandated as part of the non Cruikshank's Corner component of the development

Port Approach (south)
Developer: Starfish Developments (Stage 2)
— 4.95ha site
— 480 homes including 20 per cent affordable housing.
......
North West and Fletcher’s Slip
Cedar Woods
— 12.6 ha
— 500 homes, about two-thirds will be two to four storey townhouses and includes more than 15 per cent affordable housing
.....
 
Very surprised if this gets past the planning stage. New Port only had 1 of the 3 stages completed, and half the houses done on the cheap after the funding dried up
 
There is, at least, one SA Government agency relocating some of its staff to the Port early in 2018 onto a new site that is to be developed. Probably involve somewhere around 200-350 staff.

I know of other agencies being asked and at least one knocking the proposal on the head.
 
Today's Advertiser has The State of Defence - South Australia's Shipbuilding Future, a 24 page lift out. Some articles are reprints and others are new about subs and naval ships being built at Osborne shipyards. This story was first published on 8th September. The estimate is 6,000 workers will be based at Tech Port by the mid 2020's

Port Adelaide at heart of spending blitz

Earlier this year City of Port Adelaide Enfield mayor Gary Johanson told a forum “the dark days of the Port are just about over and what we can look forward to is a brilliant future”. His infectious optimism is catching with several real estate agents, local businesses and federal and state governments predicting boom times for the region at the heart of a rolling shipbuilding plan worth $89 billion.

Work started last month on a $535 million surface shipbuilding yard at Osborne in northern Adelaide (known as Techport) to get the site ready for construction of the first two offshore patrol vessels from next year and the future frigates from 2020. It will be followed by a bigger upgrade to support the build of 12 submarines, starting in 2022-23. Details of that upgrade are expected next year and expected to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Local businesses, from hotel owners to service providers, are urging more state and local government planning to cater for the influx of visitors — first the construction workers and then the high-spending businesses and defence personnel.

A move to relocate Defence’s gradually expanding naval staff to Port Adelaide from Keswick is also being considered. Outgoing Defence SA chief Andy Keough has urged the local business community to start preparing for the 6000 workers who will be based at Techport by the mid-2020s.

"When I drive past (Techport) and I see one childcare centre and one auto-repair shop on the corner and I have to drive 1km for lunch ... I can’t believe we are not going to see an explosion."

“When I drive past (Techport) and I see one childcare centre and one auto-repair shop on the corner and I have to drive 1km for lunch ... I can’t believe we are not going to see an explosion,” he says.

Already, real estate agents are catering to interstate investors interested in cashing in through investments in the Osborne and Taperoo areas.

Starfish Developments will this year begin construction of up to 760 homes as part of the Dock One: Port Approach South precinct — a State Government-led catalyst for development in the area.

Dock One — a $168 million project expected to create 150 jobs — is part of a wider master plan to build about 1300 homes, four-storey townhouses, shops, cafes and an outdoor cinema along the waterfront in the historic heart of Port Adelaide through the release of four parcels of land.

Several small and big privately funded developments are also in the pipeline.

Would be good if we could have a dusty statue anywhere in Adelaide with his premiership medals?

for this to work, we not only need to build the vessels in Adelaide but we have to shift the maintenance there. Otherwise we build up skill sets, only to have no reason to hold the team together afterward. Then no capability to win further contracts without massive government handouts again.

SA needs to lobby hard here for common sense. Alternatively the ship building should move to where the maintenance is.
 
oh and what we build should be nuclear.

the basis behind this is the new threat globally is ICBM. We have no missile defence and there is no point taking out ICBMs with nuclear warheads over out cities for obvious reasons.

The best defence is subs with defence systems and the only propulsion systems capable of staying out long enough is nuclear propulsion.

big decisions ahead and SA could end up being our nations leader in science and research

Most of he maintenance for the subs will be in Perth. That's where their hq will be because they will mainly be patrolling the Indian Ocean and when the submariners come back to home port it will be Perth so the basic maintenance will be Perth. But the long haulage maintenance will be at Osborne. Not sure about the ships as they will end up having different home bases.

Yeah Naval Group/DCNS are mainly a nuclear subs firm and that's what they should be building and it needs a 10-15 year lead time. But no politician is prepared to touch nuclear.

Interestingly the sub that won the tender is too big for conventional based on our needs. France will spend $5b-$10b and 5 years doing a review and will report back nuclear is the only option.

Germany and Japan have already launched legal positions as they feel aggrieved that the tender was not run in good faith given they "already know the outcome of France's study". The "new" government in 5 years can blame the past and say we now have no choice due to decisions of the past locking us in.

Meanwhile the low level waste facility design has changed to intermediary......which is the same design as high level waste. ANSTO has also had their mandate changed to allow this and will change again shortly.

State Government axes Renew Adelaide from the Port

The State Government has axed all funding from Renew Adelaide's Port Adelaide program, which has helped bring 28 new businesses to life in the area since it started five years ago.

That's really disappointing as the Port is in a very sad state of affairs
 
Its taken 4 years to find an alternative site but finally Incitec are moving far enough away. Now gotta work on moving Adelaide Brighton Cement.

FERTILISER manufacturer Incitec Pivot will move to a new $25 million distribution centre in Port Adelaide next month — four years after the State Government spent $15 million to move it out of the heart of the Port. The company — which has been making, storing and distributing fertiliser in the Port for nearly 100 years — is moving to a new 17,000sq m complex on Ocean Steamers Rd which has capacity to store 50,000 tonnes of fertiliser. Its current Francis St home was bought by the State Government in 2014 as an incentive to move the fertiliser manufacturer away from the new Dock One development.

At the time, the Environmental Protection Authority and Safework SA was concerned that it would be unsafe for residential development at Dock One to go ahead because it was so close to a plant storing potentially explosive fertiliser, stymieing plans for a 275-home development in 2011. Dock One is currently undergoing earthworks in preparation for the first of 750 homes by Starfish Developments to begin construction in April.

Under the deal, the company was able to lease the complex from the government for a maximum of six years. It is moving with two years to spare. Incitec Pivot also stopped storing a potentially explosive chemical, calcium ammonium nitrate, at the beginning of 2014. Vice-president of Incitec Pivot’s southern region Gerard Buckle said the company’s latest move to the new centre — which is 2km away from the Francis St site — was the beginning of a new and more environmentally friendly era for the company. “Environmental features of the new site include the fact that all fertilisers and handling equipment will be contained inside the storage facility,” Mr Buckle told the Portside Weekly.
