Summit Precinct - $300 + Million (Hybrid of Public & Private investment)

The Summit Precinct has the potential to be one of Australia’s leading regional recreation, leisure, sport and entertainment facilities while supporting the growth of Mount Barker; one of South Australia’s fastest growing regions.

Located on approximately 50 hectares of land at the corner of Bald Hills Road and Springs Road in Mount Barker, the Summit Precinct accommodates the existing Summit Sports and Recreation Park, the nearly completed Summit Aquatic and Leisure Centre, Laratinga walking trail, heritage barns and a planned Regional Adventure Playground. Rehabilitation of the Mount Barker creek that flows through the site will create additional walking opportunities and a biodiversity corridor from the Laratinga Wetlands, and in time, up to Mount Barker Summit.

Whilst providing facilities for our local community, the Summit Precinct has generated a level of private sector interest that once delivered will create significant local employment and enhance support for the Adelaide Hills tourism sector.

A $50 million, 120-room hotel is set to transform Mount Barker into a premier regional tourism and leisure destination, with South Australian-based developer Accord Property chosen to develop an entertainment and leisure precinct on land owned by Mount Barker District Council. The hotel will be the first stage of the landmark Summit Precinct.

Mount Barker City Centre Project

The City Centre development will create a high quality, mixed-use development precinct that will deliver significant community and economic benefits for Mount Barker’s future.

The project will deliver the following elements:

• Town square
• Council owned civic and co-working building
• Retail, food and beverage outlets
• Accommodation in the form of a hotel or serviced apartments.
• Vehicle parking

At the heart of the City Centre will be a 2,000 square metre town square. A new laneway will be created between Hutchinson and Stephen Streets, providing both pedestrian and vehicle access, along with accessible parking and a drop-off zone. This laneway and parking area will also function as an extension of the town square for community events and markets.

A flexible council civic and co-working building will be located on council-owned land. There will be a mix of retail and office space along Hutchinson Street, including a new retail strip north of the town square. The existing cottage and small industrial structure at the corner of Hutchinson and Morphett Streets will be redeveloped for hospitality purposes in the first stage of development.
