PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE: OSBORNE NORTH INDUSTRIAL PRECINCT

Mr PICCOLO (Light) (11:56): I move:

That the 386th report of the committee, entitled Osborne North Industrial Precinct, be noted.

The development of the Osborne North Industrial Precinct represents a continuation of the state government's commitment to long-term sustainable development on the northern Lefevre Peninsula. The project works will deliver a 27-hectare industrial land development in two stages over six years. Stage 1 involves the augmentation of infrastructure headworks services to the precinct and the first stage of land development (eight hectares).

Stage 2 involves the second stage of land development (19 hectares) and the signalisation of the Victoria/Veitch Road intersection. The project is estimated to cost approximately $23.569 million, excluding land acquisition and site preparation costs, and will be fully funded by the government of South Australia through Defence SA. The project is expected to generate land sales revenue of approximately $48.881 million over six years from 2011-12 to 2016-17.

The works are divided into four components: civil works package 1, stage 1 land development works and augmentation of infrastructure headworks services and Mersey Road corridor extension to Pelican Point Road; streetscape landscape works stage 1; civil works package 2, involving stage 2 land development works and the Victoria/Veitch Road intersection signalisation; and streetscape landscape works stage 2.

The works will predominantly be undertaken on land improved as part of the Techport Australia (stages 3 and 4) and the Osborne North Industrial Precinct Site Preparation Works Project examined by the Public Works Committee in December 2008 and now close to completion. Completion of the project will create approximately 27 hectares of serviced industrial land accessible from an extension of Mersey Road and new roads within the land development. It will ensure the consistent flow of industrial land to the market in the emerging northern Lefevre Peninsula economic region.

Funding for the project was approved in the 2008-09 state budget to allow Defence SA to undertake works required to facilitate the release of additional development-ready industrial land on the northern Lefevre Peninsula commencing in 2010-11. Land division and design approvals have been secured for the project and the detailed infrastructure headworks design completed and tendered. The Osborne North Industrial Precinct is zoned general industry, providing for the continued growth of defence industry activity as well as port-related industrial land uses given the proximity of the site to Outer Harbor.

Built form within the precinct will be controlled by Defence SA through the implementation of development guidelines covering both urban design and environmental sustainability requirements, consistent with Defence SA's approach to development within the Techport Australia Supplier Precinct. The subject site is within the City of Port Adelaide Enfield and comprises two land parcels: Parcel One, 35 hectares north of Techport Australia at Osborne; and Parcel Two, approximately 21 hectares adjacent to Pelican Point Road and the Outer Harbor rail corridor at Outer Harbor. Parcel One is zoned general industry and is accessible via both Mersey and Pelican Point Roads.

Debate adjourned.
