Westfield West Lakes could help unlock 2,000 new homes, creating a vibrant new mixed-use development in one of Adelaide’s best serviced locations.

A proposed rezoning of the shopping centre is planned to make better use of the land, bringing new apartments and buildings up to 20 storeys while the shopping centre continues to trade.

This would be a textbook example of South Australia building up in the right location, with buses, bike links, shops and services already nearby; it’s about creating more homes in a place where people are already connected.
