How long has Council been planning the Summit Precinct?

The Summit Precinct vision has been in the works for a number of years. Council purchased land at Bald Hills and Springs Roads in four transactions since 2008 to create a regional tourism and sports hub. Detailed planning for the tourism and recreation part began in early 2023. After a national call for developers in mid-2023, Council entered into confidential negotiations, choosing Accord Property, a South Australian company, as the master developer for the site.
