Lightsview, SA

AFFORDABLE INNOVATION AWARDED

In 2006, CIC won a national tender to develop a new community at Northgate, in a joint venture with South Australia’s Land Management Corporation (LMC). Planning for this innovative project has aimed to make the most of its position: framed by the Adelaide Hills to its east and with superb south-easterly views to the Adelaide City Centre.

Situated within Adelaide’s new northeastern suburbs, and just eight kilometres from the city centre, Lightsview enjoys an outstanding position close to local facilities including Northgate Shopping Village, public transport linkages, and the soon-to-be-completed State Super School at Gepps Cross. Our integrated masterplan provides for convenient linkages to public transport, safe and efficient pedestrian and cycle networks, high quality open spaces and strong links to neighbouring areas.

 

The community will eventually comprise some 2000 dwellings, with a mix of apartments, innovative terrace homes and cottages and large family homes. All homes will be designed and built to achieve a minimum 6 star AccuRate rating.

A reticulated recycled water supply will be available for toilet flushing and garden watering. Lightsview has been designed to be a safe, walkable community with a permeable street network including landscaped paths and wide leafy streets. All homes are within a five-minute walk of one of the many green parks and reserves.

The Lightsview Joint Venture is also delivering affordable housing, as determined by the SA Government, with 15% of all homes to be built meeting this definition.
