Government should complete CBD tram loop, that would be a huge stimulus for more CBD apartment demand.

Jesus Christ, no. 20 storeys should never be allowed here. That is just beyond excessive.

Some of us would absolutely love to see this go up and god I hope it does!

Cedar Woods seeking land zone change to allow apartment towers from 11 to 20 storeys at Glenside housing development

The first detailed images and plans for what’s likely Adelaide’s tallest tower outside the CBD have been revealed as the developers seek to change suburban planning rules.

Plans for a proposed 20-storey apartment tower at Glenside show a specially-designed, “cascading” building hitting 73m if zoning rules were amended.

Delivering an extra 200 homes for the site, the residential tower would be built in a terraced style to lessen shadow on neighbouring buildings.

It would be one of four “gateway” buildings for a 1.2ha part of the Fullarton Rd site – led by developer Cedar Woods.

More than 1000 homes with a mix of townhouses and apartments are being built across the 16.5ha Glenside development, where the maximum height is 29 metres – or eight levels.

Planning laws need to be changed to allow construction of the four buildings, which would range from 11 to 20 storeys.

It would be the first test of Housing Minister Nick Champion’s move to kickstart stalled plans for high-rise developments at public transport hubs, such as Bowden.

A privately-led code amendment is now open for public consultation.

The 20-storey tower would face inward to “reduce the impact of the building on surrounding dwellings”, Cedar Woods state manager Mark Pivovaroff said.

He said it was too early in the planning stages to provide the residential size of the apartments.

“The two strategic development sites provide one of the few remaining opportunities to create much-needed additional residential housing close to the city,” Mr Pivovaroff said.

“Cedar Woods is seeking an amendment to the Planning and Design Code to accommodate future development of residential apartment buildings and ground floor community amenities.

“Glenside is well positioned to support higher density housing because of its proximity to the CBD, positioning along key transit corridors, existing retail and employment opportunities, and local services.”

The other tallest buildings outside the CBD include Air Apartments on Greenhill Rd and 88 O’Connell in North Adelaide at 14 storeys and the new Flinders University health building at 10 storeys.

Mr Champion, who initiated the code amendment with conditions, said he was unable to comment on it because he would make the final decision.

“There is a rigorous and robust process for any proposed rezoning in South Australia which includes community consultation,” he said.

Cedar Woods will be required to justify the increase in height in relation to the existing corridors and the need to focus on housing diversity and affordability.

In April, when the code amendment was announced, he asked Cedar Woods to mitigate potential impacts such as overshadowing and privacy.

The code amendment documents say the proposal has been “configured” to build upon the existing qualities of Glenside.

“Careful consideration has been given to ensue existing and new residents have views to open space and the sky, access to daylight is maximised and overshadowing is minimised,” they say.

“The levels and position of the built form has been carved and shaped to minimise any negative impractical and enhance positive attributes: landscape, openness, views, access to sun and amenities such as cafes.”

The code amendment would not remove the need for affordable housing from the affected area.

Public consultation on the code amendment proposal closes October 11. You can provide feedback at the PlanSA site or at one of four engagement sessions at Glenunga Hub.

Glenside homebuyers lodge complaint with ACCC over Cedar Woods’ 20-storey tower plan
A group of homebuyers in the eastern suburbs have lodged an ACCC complaint alleging a developer company misled them about a planned 20-storey high-rise.

A developer company has been accused of breaching consumer law by proposing a 20-storey building in Glenside after selling nearby homes to buyers unaware of the plan.

The Glenside Development Action Group on Monday submitted a complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission alleging developer Cedar Woods had engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct in marketing materials and public representations for its $400m Glenside development.

A 20-storey apartment building at the development, proposed in 2024, would become the state’s tallest building outside Adelaide’s CBD if the state government approves a planning code amendment.

The high-rise would be one of the development’s four landmark buildings, ranging from 11 to 20 storeys.

GDAG’s complaint to the ACCC alleges Cedar Woods’ advertising materials between 2015 and 2025 misled consumers by emphasising “a mid-rise, open-space-focused community” in a “unique botanical setting”.

“At no point was a 20-storey high-rise component included in initial public representations or subsequent printed material for nearly ten years,” the GDAG complaint said.

Cedar Woods said it was “not uncommon for planning and design codes to be amended in line with market demands”.

“Cedar Woods believe we have followed appropriate process and will continue to work with the community to achieve the best possible outcome for the site,” a spokesperson said.

GDAG spokesman Craig Pickering said many homebuyers felt “betrayed” by Cedar Woods.

He claimed most of the development’s residents were blindsided by the plan and opposed it, including more than 200 members of GDAG.

“We’re going through decisions like, ‘Do we pull out? Do we stay? What do we do? We’ve already sold our house’,” he said.

More than 1000 homes with a mix of townhouses and apartments are being built across the 16.5ha Glenside development, where the maximum height is 29m – or eight levels.



Planning Minister Nick Champion said in April he would investigate the merits of raising the maximum building height to 73m – or 20 levels, with a final decision yet to be made.

“It’s important as a community we have thoughtful conversations about increasing building heights and densities in strategic sites, such as major urban corridors,” he said in April.

The state government has not yet approved the planning amendment after collecting community feedback between August and October in 2024.

In October, Burnside Council opposed the amendment in a submission to the government, saying the 20-storey building would be “incongruous, visually jarring and may compromise the harmonious natural views” of the parklands.

The usual suspects protesting...

This protest seems to be specific to the particular development at Glenside.

The usual suspects as in, yep, that is exactly what I'd expect inner-city NIMBYs to look like
