Housing development
There is some construction taking place here.[4] Walker Corporation proposed to develop a large housing development in the area with up to 33,000 residents by 2036, however some critics are concerned about the isolation from the rest of Adelaide and the threat of flooding.[5][6][7][8] The project was first supported by the state government in 2007. In 2019, the approval was extended again, with a requirement to commence substantial work on the site by October 2021.[9] Construction on the development officially began on 26 February 2021, with the first land settlements anticipated to occur by the end of September 2021.[10]
On 24 February 2022, the urban development was cut out of the rural locality and named Riverlea Park.[11]
