Nine project ideas for your neighbourhood

  • 1. Support Local Businesses

    Deliver targeted business support to help businesses adapt, innovate and grow. Examples include:

    • grant funding
    • networking and events
    • workshops and training
    • sharing industry intelligence and market outlook information
    • marketing and promotion
    • connecting businesses with jobseekers
    • ensuring residents have opportunities to gain local employment.
  • 2. Structure Plan of Hindmarsh Triangle

    Prepare a structure plan to inform future planning policy. The Structure Plan will:

    • clearly state the future of the precinct for the continuation of employment generating land uses and investigate opportunities for more intensive employment generating land uses and mixed land use
    • spatially identify land uses, key transport routes, connections and entry points, building heights, heritage, and open space
    • provide greater certainty to community, businesses, and investors about future plans.
  • 3. Improve the local amenity of Grange Road

    From East Avenue to South Road improve the appearance and amenity of Grange Road through additional planting and greening of verges and medians, including side street verges.

    Work with tenants and owners of the local centre on the corner of Arlington Terrace to make improvements that attract more customers.

  • 4. Create a New Local Park

    Shorten Barrpowell Road turnaround and create a new local park joining the River Torrens. The new park could provide some of the following:

    • playspace with natural play features
    • connection with nature
    • sports zone, or fitness equipment
    • picnic area, lawn and overflow parking
    • enhancement of the Peace Memorial
    • local indigenous plantings to improve habitat for local wildlife.
  • 5. Transform Wallman Reserve

    Create a great local park and meeting place using the existing Wallman Reserve area and the adjoining building on the corner of McDonnell Avenue and Grey Avenue. Ideas include:

    • playground
    • shelter and picnic areas
    • additional plantings
    • use of the cottage for a locally run cafe, club and workshop space.
  • 6. Upgrade River Park Reserve, Allenby Gardens

    Upgrades in future years may include:

    • additional tennis court/basketball court
    • cricket net
    • renewal of playspace
    • new toilet
    • additional planting areas to strengthen biodiversity along the Linear Park corridor.
  • 7. Green the Neighbourhood

    Accelerate new tree plantings along key streets in the neighbourhood. Trees are important because they:

    • provide shade and cooling benefits
    • reduce heat-related illness,
    • reflect heat, and actively cool and clean the air
    • are good for our health and mental well-being
    • have aesthetic benefits
    • are critical for urban biodiversity.
  • 8. Redesign Langman Reserve

    Following the completion of the T2D North-South Motorway in future years, consult with the West Hindmarsh community to determine what the reduced area could contain. Ideas include:

    • planting and grassed areas
    • murals and public art depicting the areas history or character
    • seating and lighting.
  • 9. Encourage active travel

    Prioritise walking and cycling paths that are safer, shadier and more prominent. Priority routes include McDonnell Avenue, the pedestrian bridge to the Brickworks Marketplace Shopping Centre, and key east-west connections which lead to destinations used every day by the community.

    Destinations include local parks, shops, cafes, schools, bus stops, and major road crossings.
