The focus should be on the CBD now as it is, to building it up, not on creating satellite cbds that will in all likelihood fail.
Nice thought though, but maybe when our cities population hits the multiple millions and can actually sustain multiple cbd's.
The "case" for a second CBD will be decided entirely by tenant demand, not bureaucrats and definitely not this little forum. Without tenant commitments, no construction is likely to occur.

I think we're discussing this at cross purposes. What exactly do people mean by CBD?
If it's something that existing big cities typically have dozens of then yes, Elizabeth will become one. But I didn't think that was what people generally understood a CBD to be.

A CBD is, literally, a Central Business District. Therefore, Elizabeth already has a CBD, albeit a rather localised one, in that most of the businesses run from the Elizabeth CBD relate to the relatively local area of the northern suburbs, whereas the Adelaide CBD is the nerve centre for the entire state, and will continue in that roll, which Elizabeth will never match. Virtually every suburb has a CBD, usually called the local shopping centre. The term is usually reserved for major city centres, so that you are more likely to hear of the Mount Gambier CBD or the Murray Bridge CBD than the Elizabeth CBD, because although Elizabeth is a more populous place, it is regarded as part of the Adelaide Metropolitan Area.

IMO, Murray Bridge, Mt Barker, Victor Harbor, etc have town centres, not CBDs. Elizabeth is moving towards becoming more than a town centre - perhaps a "satellite BD", but nothing more. There's nothing wrong with being a satellite, just a fact of life, and it certainly won't preclude more tall buildings, density, blah.
This is simple political posturing to get publicity for the region...

It was. My parents were thinking of getting a house there at the time - due to the way it was presented no doubt.

Yes, the quoted population figure is that of the Salisbury and Playford councils combined.
It also includes Gawler - known as the Adelaide Statistical Division.

Does anyone else think the term "second CBD" is an oxymoron?

Yep, an oxymoron it is! and that's my 'unbiased opinion'...

Hindmarsh have updated their website again revealing some information regarding this project:
This redevelopment for the City of Playford includes the complete refurbishment of the existing 50 metre pool with an exciting new waterslide. Other water facilities include a new 25m leisure pool with beach entry.
Additionally a new modern gym and fitness facilities, steam room, spa facilities and crèche facilities with indoor and outdoor areas will add to the amenity of the residents of the area.

It initially appears to be, but I don't think it really is. When another relatively central area develops the characteristics of the original CBD, what prevents it from becoming a second CBD? And what, if anything, is wrong with the claim that Parramatta is becoming Sydney's second CBD?
According to
Wikipedia, Lucknow, India has three CBDs, and it could be argued that London also does (CIty of London, City of Westminster, and Canary Wharf).
But it's hard to imagine Elizabeth becoming either sufficiently central or attracting enough business to become a CBD, let alone both!

In the London example all three of those areas are central to Greater London. Elizabeth has a CBD, relative to its council area. But relative to the Adelaide Greater metropolitan area, Adelaide City is the CBD, while Elizabeth, Pt Adelaide, Marion and other areas of commercial activity are outlying business districts.
Central Business Districts don't need to be exactly central, but they do need to be the focal point for most concentrated commercial activity in a given area.
It's all relative.
(I wouldn't trust Wikipedia on this topic, there's far too much conjecture on the subject and not enough formal definitions for the article to represent an authority)

Although this topic is 6 months old, the former Spotlight store is being demolished! Does it mean it's making way for the expansion perhaps?

When I went past last week, the former Spotlight store was being mostly demolished. Holes cut in walls, windows and doors being bricked up and concrete poured. Looks like some smart developer is making a new shop from the shell of the old one.
