Exciting progress is underway for the future City Centre.
Mount Barker District Council and Burke Urban have finalised key land transactions that will enable the first stages of the City Centre development to move forward.
This is notification that as part of these works, the cottage on the corner of Morphett and Hutchinson Streets will be removed to allow broader site works and to prepare the area for future retail activation. Updated flood modelling found that retaining the building was not viable.
Looking ahead, the endorsed masterplan includes a food and beverage tenancy on this corner, helping activate the Town Square and create a vibrant place for the community to gather.
While it’s never easy to remove an existing structure, this step will help deliver a resilient, high-quality development aligned with the long-term vision for the City Centre.
