The site works at Oaklands Green were officially marked with a formal announcement on Wednesday, January 17 where project partners and dignitaries came together to turn the soil and celebrate the commencement of site works.

It’s a major milestone for Oaklands Green – SA’s largest urban renewal project, with more than 680 new homes planned.

Led by South Australian developer Housing Renewal Australia (Oaklands Park), the Oaklands Green project will transform a 16.5-hectare site between Barry Road, Bombay and Doreen Streets adjacent to the electrified Seaford train line.

Rivergum Homes has already commenced construction on the first 28 of the one and two storey dwellings, which have been released to the market over the last year.

Human Services Minister, Nat Cook, says the Oaklands Park renewal is part of building a strong community while offering choice and diversity in housing.

While Minister for Boothby, Louise Miller-Frost, says that Oaklands Green is an innovative development that will provide affordable housing solutions in the area for years to come.

Oaklands Green represents an innovative partnership between SA Housing Authority, Junction and Housing Renewal Australia (Oaklands Park).

And while the project will unlock critical land and housing supply for South Australians, green space in Rajah Reserve will be doubled and new green spaces added.

It’s a project that has the community and the environment in mind.
