It would make sense if a TOD was planned here since the tram line extension to West Lakes will pass through Hendon.

Is that still going ahead?

The last mention was that the project would still go ahead, but it would be delayed a few years. Haven't heard anything for a while though.

It was on Bob Francis show so who knows if he wasn't just stirring up old Bob.

I drove around Lightsview this afternoon and was impressed.

The urban landscaping is well done and reduces the impact of the density of the development. There are wide, well planted footpaths, with lawns, a hard surface for walking and no roll-over kerbing. Cabling is underground.

Instead of the houses on the narrow allotments being dominated by garage doors and 2nd cars parked on paved aprons in front of the houses, the garaging opens onto rear laneways between the rows of houses.

Considering the density, it's pretty good. In fact, one or two blocks of three or four storey flats wouldn't be out of place here, provided they were well-designed, to widen the demographic.

[Voice of the People]

There is a proposal for 5 storey apartments along City View Boulevard and the Minister for Planning has proposed a DPA which will look at increasing the densities here and in nearby areas.

Well Lightsview is up and going now and from what I've seen it looks Great Premium builders such as Scott Salisbury and Medallion homes feature as display homes, a lake is being put in and whilst there are quite a few encumberances they all are designed to ensure a better quality suburb ? I myself are thinking of building a home there, the only thing that I can pick with it is that it will still be Northgate the Suburb not a suburb on it's own! As for new developments blocking views! Well you can say that for any suburb. So for me personally Lightview gets the BIG thumbs up ?

well if the goverment and correctional service had any brains and take into consideration of the inmates familys and relatives they would
build the new prisons out near dry creek plenty of open land out there and less traveling for the relatives to visit there brothers or loves ones
that are in there doing time..

all they think of is that people behind bars are animals and shouldnt be release, well thats how mike rann see's life.

Anyway in regards to yatala and the womens prison they are part historical and should be done simular to what they did with the old pentridge
gaol in victoria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Prison_Pentridge Since the closure they pulled most of it down and build a village there here
is the link for the village http://www.pentridgevillage.com.au/

What really annoys me and thousand of other australians is that the goverment and private owners have no idea about what is historical so there
solution is the easy way. Lets just destroy historical land,buildings or landmarks. what a joke the south australian goverment is

Crikeys what is the goverment doing here, they first built one youth dention centre at cavern: http://www.nearmap.com/?q=training%20ce ... d=20110424

and now there building another one new youth detention centre at cavern, http://www.nearmap.com/?q=cavern%20yout ... d=20110424

Housing SA to invest $130 million in The Square at Woodville West

MORE than $130 million will be spent over the next seven years on The Square at Woodville West.
The Housing SA-funded project will deliver 425 dwellings - apartments, villas and townhouses - and is forecast to house as many as 1000 people .

The project, being constructed in the area bound by Alma Tce, Emily St and Henderson Ave, involves the demolition of 180 homes to provide space for the new community.

Housing Minister Jennifer Rankine said: "Woodville West, in that particular area, was very old and many of the homes weren't up to the standard we would like for public housing."

The State Government already owned about 80 per cent of the stock in the area and bought the remaining houses to make the project happen.

Ms Rankine said at least 50 per cent of the new houses would be available for affordable rent or to buy, in the State Government's affordable housing scheme.

"Our aim is to have a revitalised Woodville West that has a dynamic community," she said.

The project has been designed in line with the 30-Year Plan as a walkable neighbourhood and features a central square of shops, public art spaces and a cafe, playground and plaza.

Stage 1, under construction, will be complete by mid-next year. Property prices will start at $295,000.

"As many as 1000 people" doesn't sound like too many for 425 dwellings.
