The South Australian government has approved a developer’s controversial bid to build apartments of up to 20 storeys in Adelaide’s inner-eastern suburbs.
The decision, announced by Planning Minister Nick Champion on Friday, will see parts of the former Glenside Hospital site upzoned from eight to 20 storeys — an unprecedented scale for development outside the Adelaide CBD.
Nearby residents oppose the development, citing overshadowing and infrastructure concerns.
Cedar Woods needs to seek final approval from the State Planning Commission before construction proceeds.
