Northern Adelaide Food Park

In reply to the Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (20 June 2017).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change): The Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries has provided the following advice:

Following extensive assessment and due diligence, as well as engagement with potential new occupants, the Food Park will be located at Edinburgh Parks.

After site feasibility work, and discussions with the food industry, it was determined the Parafield Airport site proposal did not offer the flexibility of tenure or development opportunities many local businesses were looking for.

A $7 million Food Park Business Attraction Fund is now available to help businesses looking to relocate to an innovative, smart and central food manufacturing area.
