“Onkaparinga Heights, formerly known as Hackham, is positioned at the termination point of the Southern Expressway and is part of a strategic initiative to provide new housing opportunities within the region. The government, in partnership with landowners, plans to construct at least 2,000 new homes on this 230-hectare site. It is a critical part of the government’s ambitious agenda to boost housing stock and manage affordability”.
“The infrastructure deeds, which were recently signed, cover essential planning, engineering, and land division requirements. This agreement enables the commencement of substantial development work, including earthworks and the construction of roads, water, wastewater, and stormwater management systems, expected to begin later this year”.
Key Highlights of Onkaparinga Heights Development:
Affordable Housing Focus: At least 20% of the new homes will be designated as affordable housing, crucial in a region with limited development opportunities.
Government Investments: The project is supported by a record $1.5 billion from the Housing Roadmap and $1 billion from the Federal Government’s Housing Support Program.
Proximity to Attractions: The site is near the southern vales and beaches, making it an attractive location for families and commuters, with direct access to the Southern Expressway.
Future Growth Plans: Renewal SA aims to bring the development to market by mid-2025, with further housing projects being explored in nearby areas like Dry Creek, Concordia, and Sellicks Beach.
Community Benefits: The Onkaparinga Heights development promises to enhance the quality of life and offer accessible housing solutions in the growing southern suburbs.
