The first release of homes at a new coastal estate at Noarlunga has gone on sale, delivering high-quality, affordable housing to the area.

The Noarlunga development will include over 620 dwellings, aligned with the Premier’s Housing Roadmap, with releases in coming months featuring a mix of larger land parcels, premium house and land packages, and sought-after locations.

Eleven affordable house and land packages have been listed at Noarlunga development, through HomeSeeker SA, with prices starting from $525,000. Some eligible packages also include up to 25 per cent shared equity through the  HomeStart scheme.

The homes are a mix of two and three-bedroom, semi-detached townhouses, located along the north-western edge of the development, and will be built by South Australian builder UrbanLux.

Renewal SA aims to release approximately 80 additional opportunities to purchase in Noarlunga throughout the second half of 2025.

Civil works are underway to prepare roads, sewers and essential services ahead of the construction of the first homes and public spaces.

Construction of the first homes is scheduled to begin in early 2026, with the first residents expected to move in by the end of next year.

As home construction progresses, early planning is also underway for the first public open spaces within the development.

An entry reserve will be built off Dyson Road providing an area of approximately 2000sqm for the community, with an additional central reserve of 935sqm space also to be delivered within this early stage.

Construction of these open spaces will begin in mid-2026, with both parks expected to open to the community by late-2026.

Twelve and a half percent of the 22-hectare development will be dedicated to public open space, unlocking green pockets throughout the estate for the new community.

Renewal SA engaged with the local community in 2024 to seek input into the plan for the development of the previously vacant land, following its 2023 announcement of the new master planned community.

Delivered in partnership with the South Australian Housing Trust, the Noarlunga development will offer a mix of direct-to-market housing, affordable housing and social housing. Renewal SA will also explore the potential for affordable rentals managed by a community housing provider.

Deputy Mayor of City of Onkaparinga Lauren Jew says the community has made it clear that having a variety of homes to suit people’s needs is vital for the future of the area.

“We’re really pleased the state government is committed to making this development a practical example of what can be achieved, including a minimum 28 per cent affordable and social housing to support those who are missing out in the current market.

“Council is committed to playing its part in making our city liveable and sustainable into the future, and we’ve approved a new affordable housing strategy to do just that. We look forward to welcoming new residents to this centrally located, high-quality development.”

The development spans two land parcels on either side of Lovelock Drive, within the suburbs of Port Noarlunga and Noarlunga Downs.

President of South Adelaide Football Club Geoff Baynes says this new well planned development will meet the needs of the local community.

“The Club, as the leading community sporting club in the South, is committed to providing the sport and recreational connections for the families who will live in the new community.

“As a community sporting organisation we embrace the opportunities that present themselves due to having a close knit family oriented development right on our doorsteps and will do everything to welcome everyone to our community complex.”
