The former Royal Adelaide Hospital site is being transformed to create high-value jobs across technology driven industries and become the future location of the Entrepreneur and Innovation Centre and Tarrakarri – Centre for First Nations Cultures.

This walking tour will take delegates through Lot Fourteen and provide historical context, details of the current planning and construction process and insight to the future vision. This tour will be hosted by Renewal SA and include updates from Renewal SA and the City of Adelaide.

ABSTRACT: 

The Market to Riverbank link is a joint investment between the City of Adelaide and the State Government to upgrade a series of small streets between the Adelaide Central Market and the Adelaide Riverbank/Adelaide Oval. 

The link offers a more intimate route for more than 15,000 local pedestrians and cyclists to and from the Market District and the Riverbank. Improvements have included new paving, lighting, trees, landscaping, street furniture and public art.   The tour will focus on design for walkability and access and inclusion including the results of collaboration with blind and vision impaired users.  

The tour will be conducted by Carina Green, Senior Landscape Architect and Kirsten Potoczky, Senior Social Planner at the City of Adelaide.
