Community consultation has now opened for the redevelopment of the former Adelaide Bus Station on Franklin Street in the CBD.

The public can explore indicative concepts and new visuals for the proposed mixed-use, multi-storey ‘Tapangka on Franklin’ development. The project is expected to provide accommodation for around 1,000 people, with 35 per cent designated as affordable housing.

The former Adelaide Bus Station site is set to be transformed with mixed-use towers and a signature building, including a hotel with over 200 rooms, a significant build-to-rent component, market housing for sale, and a variety of commercial and retail spaces.

Renewal SA will lead community engagement for the development plans, hosting a drop-in session on 27 August 2024, at 28 Leigh Street in the CBD. Feedback is also being collected online until 15 September.

The public can review project details, view indicative plans and offer feedback on the precinct’s public spaces, connectivity, sustainability goals and potential uses. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about the draft sustainability strategy, which aims to set benchmarks in energy efficiency, climate resilience and the circular economy.

The ‘Tapangka’ design will focus on reducing carbon emissions by promoting and measuring carbon, thermal performance, energy efficiency and renewable energy from the outset. It will also encourage active transport modes like walking, cycling and public transit over private vehicles.

The precinct will have a generous plaza and landscaped open space, with $1.2 million allocated for upgrading existing public spaces on Bowen Street and the plaza outside the former Hampshire Hotel. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026 after selecting development partners through a national search.
