Development

The Centre, rebranded as Port Adelaide Plaza will provide a new level of convenience for the community of Port Adelaide and surrounding suburbs offering over 50+ specialty stores including restaurants and cafes, services such as Australia Post, a medical centre, gym, a childcare centre together with a brand-new Aldi alongside Coles, Kmart, Liquorland and Kmart Tyre & Auto. 
“The Port Adelaide Plaza Shopping Centre is at the heart of the Port Adelaide Business District, and its expansion is timely, and forms a major part of the revitalisation of the Port. It complements the other investments in the area, which include the Federal Government's naval ship-building projects and the significant private residential developments, along with the Port Dock Railway Line which provides an important transport link for the region.” Said Mark Withers, Chief Executive Officer, City of Port Adelaide Enfield.

Upon the projects’ completion, customers will welcome the increased car parking capacity, with numbers expecting to total over 1,000 FREE car parks.

Through its continued commitment to customer convenience and safety, the Centre has also recently constructed a brand-new car park located to the South East of the Centre (adjacent the Port Adelaide train Station) featuring a further 75 car parking spaces, lighting and closed-circuit television. 
Car park construction works have also been completed to the western side of Church Street which includes a further 38 car parking spaces, trolley bays, additional lighting together with closed-circuit television.

In addition, the City of Port Adelaide Enfield Council continues their streetscape upgrade of Church Street (Old Port Road to Dale Street) with works focused around improving customer safety and pedestrian access. Works including a new pedestrian crossing linking the Centre to the additional " free" parking west of Church Street, new footpaths and new additional street lighting are well underway and scheduled for completion by the end of the year. 

Stage One of the redevelopment, due for completion April 2019, will provide a unique dining precinct with a focus towards contemporary café culture, burger concepts, Japanese and Asian fusion. Set under wide awnings, featuring alfresco ceiling fans and gas heating within close proximity to the water, this opportunity will no doubt appeal to small business owners, hospitality entrepreneurs and franchisees alike. Stage 2 will commence in April 2019 and is expected to be completed in April 2020.
