Came across this in my travels. Could be a sensational transformation
Whitmore Square - Iparrityi Strategic Property Review
Project Overview
The Salvation Army (TSA) is undertaking a strategic property review of its landholding on the corner of Gilbert and Morphett Streets and Whitmore Square - Iparrityi, Adelaide.
The review is seeking to achieve an innovative, contemporary and high-quality design response that accommodates improved facilities to enhance and broaden the social mission support services offered on-site.
This response will align with cultural values and establish a sense of place and purpose that facilitates healthy and vibrant community connections and provides a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
We want to journey together with our community and we are consulting with a diverse range of stakeholders including individuals, businesses and organisations from the local community and Adelaide City.
Our first steps have been to understand our site constraints and opportunities and to complete a cultural mapping and information gathering. We are also exploring a range of funding options including partnerships. Our design team will then develop a number of options which will be shared with stakeholders for feedback. We anticipate presenting these options in late 2024.
The key outcome from the strategic property review will be to prepare a Business Case outlining the strategic direction for the site and a funding strategy to support the delivery of the project. This is expected to be completed in 2024.
In this first phase of the project, The Salvation Army will also be demolishing the former Linsell Lodge building and adjacent vacant 'Mud Drum' shop. Demolition is considered the only viable option given the safety issues associated with these buildings that are no longer fit for purpose. A staged demolition process is expected to take place from November 2023 - October 2024.
