Construction is underway at a major redevelopment in Adelaide’s western suburbs, with groundworks nearing completion and slabs starting to go down for dozens of new homes.

Slabs will be laid for the first 27 privately owned homes at Seaton this month, within the first of a multistage housing project being delivered by the State Government.

And as the first slabs are poured in Seaton, progress continues across numerous State Government developments throughout the state.

At Playford Alive, the first slabs have been poured as part of last year’s Newton Boulevard extension. Meanwhile, construction is accelerating on five apartment and townhouse projects in Bowden, set to deliver 293 new homes on the city’s fringe.

In Prospect Corner, the first new townhouses are nearing completion, while civil works in Noarlunga are preparing the ground for new homes in the South, with construction expected to begin later this year.

In Seaton, following completion and occupation of four SAHT Homes and ongoing construction of an additional five, construction has commenced on six new affordable homes sold through HomeSeekerSA, while builders are scheduled to begin work later this month on an additional 19, as well as two direct to market homes.

The first six affordable homes are being built along Matthews Avenue, while the remaining 19 will front both sides of Karra Avenue - one of three new roads in the first stage of redevelopment.

Constructed by Bradford, a subsidiary of Scott Salisbury Group, the semi-detached and terrace style homes will feature a mix of two- and three-bedrooms, with one to two bathrooms across two storeys.

Meanwhile, work on the precinct’s first public open space offering is underway.
A community park featuring trees, green lawns, shaded areas, and BBQ facilities will stretch from Matthews Avenue to Glenburnie Street, adjacent to homes set to begin construction later this year.

This first stage of the Seaton redevelopment is bounded by Frederick Road, Glenburnie Street, Lark Avenue, and Matthews Avenue. Once complete, it will deliver 137 new homes, 70 of which will be dedicated to affordable and social housing, with a mix of houses and apartments.

Whilst this first stage of the redevelopment is progressing, another is also well underway.

Located north of Matthews Avenue between Lark and Parker Avenues and Frederick Road, work began to demolish twenty-seven ageing homes earlier this year making way for 62 new dwellings and reserve areas.

The first eight homes in this section, including six being offered as affordable through Homeseeker SA, will be released for sale in July.

Civil works to prepare the land for homes will begin this month, with house construction scheduled to start later this year.

The Seaton redevelopment is a partnership between the Renewal SA and the South Australian Housing Trust.

Over the life of the project, 388 new public housing dwellings will be delivered for the state, with the first residents having already moved in.

By 2035, a minimum of 1,450 new homes will be delivered within the area bounded by Frederick Road, Glenburnie Street, West Lakes Boulevard, and Tapleys Hill Road ushering in a bold new era of vibrancy, community and affordability for Seaton.
