That seems to be true in the diagram at https://infrastructure.sa.gov.au/nsc/no ... hange_maps but it's hard to tell as that diagram doesn't show height differences.

I can only assume this will be to put the road bridge over the expressway in place.
They've been doing it for about 6 months now. Doesn't appear to be any connection to the Northern Connector. They appear to be reclaiming the land by raising it up to the level of the embankments and levelling it. Now idea where they are getting the dirt from.
Getting it ready to sell the land to a land developer maybe, I am sure Lend Lease could make a nice suburb out of it , they did a good job transforming The Levels swamp into a successful suburbmawsonguy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 12:59 pmThey've been doing it for about 6 months now.

It's only a very small part of the land. For reclamation projects it's normally left to the developer (e.g. Delfin\Lend Lease) to reclaim the land as they dig out lakes etc to provide the fill for the building blocks. The conceptual drawings I've seen for the salt pans development show a large lake, connected to the ocean, in the middle.
If there's going to be an Industrial estate in the Salt Pan development then hopefully the Globe Derby Dr interchange goes aheadmawsonguy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 5:30 pmIt's only a very small part of the land.

I suspect that what is happening is that the owner is reclaiming a small section to sell as industrial allotments to provide cashflow until the residential project kicks off. Getting planning approval for a few industrial allotments along Port Wakefield Rd is going to take a lot less time than the approval process for the residential development. Also, the residential market is soft at the moment.
On second thoughts Lend Lease will most likely continue expanding Blakes Crossing.mawsonguy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 5:30 pmIt's only a very small part of the land.

They are expanding is right now, in fact they're using the Northhub to hire people for Blakes CrossingEurostar wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 6:48 pmOn second thoughts Lend Lease will most likely continue expanding Blakes Crossing.mawsonguy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 5:30 pmIt's only a very small part of the land.

I cannot see that happening until Elder Smith Rd is extended from Salisbury Highway to Port Wakefield Rd and widened to 4 lanes. Whilst that is in the forward 15 year plan there is no sign of it happening any time soon.
