A future grounded in place.

Thebarton is a masterplan shaped by Country, community and climate. A place where the river runs free again, restored as a thriving biodiversity corridor, woven into the everyday life of the neighbourhood.

Built on Kaurna land, the plan honours the deep cultural connection to water and landscape through native plantings, shared paths and layered interpretive elements. It’s a quiet but powerful act of listening centering First Nations stories and stewardship.

Heritage is held close. Old buildings and site traces are not erased, but folded into the future. The result: an urban edge that holds memory, texture and depth, connecting Thebarton to the city and to the Parklands beyond.

People are at the heart of this place. Streets are for walking, gathering, connecting. Homes open onto active public spaces, parks, retail, community rooms, all designed for life to happen in between.

Thebarton will see a holistic approach to housing that integrates affordability, sustainability, and diversity, in turn fostering a vibrant and resilient community.

A village is a collection of people from all walks of life. This precinct will see the delivery of a mix of housing tenure options, including but not limited to rental housing, market housing, shared equity models, student housing, key worker housing, and co-housing.

Diverse housing sizes and typologies are encouraged to support the needs of a diverse community and provide access to safe and secure housing for a range of individuals, families and groups.

Located at the nexus of the Karrawirra Parri (River Torrens) and the Adelaide Park Lands, the project will be delivered with community at the forefront and sustainability effortlessly embedded into the DNA of the dwellings. 

And underpinning it all: a commitment to doing better. Thebarton is climate-ready, energy-smart and biodiversity-rich. Powered by renewables. Connected by sustainable transport. Designed to tread lightly so future generations can walk gently here too.
