Detailed design has progressed
Semaphore is one of Adelaide’s most iconic places. The beach, the jetty, the lawns, the carousel, the steam train, the playground, the events. It’s a destination filled with memories and your contributions have helped shaped its future. The shared vision is clear, we are creating a world-class foreshore that celebrates its past while embracing the future.
In late 2024 Council approved the Master Plan and proceeded to detailed design.
Construction timing
We have been working closely with industry partners as part of early planning for the construction phase. This process has helped test how the project can be delivered efficiently, safely, and with the least possible disruption to the community.
As a result of this work, construction is now planned to begin in February 2027. This timing has been carefully chosen to reduce impacts during the foreshore’s busiest periods, including peak summer and major events, and to better align with construction requirements.
We are currently finalising the appointment of a contractor to deliver the project. Once this is confirmed, we will have a clearer picture of the detailed construction schedule, staging, and what it means for different areas of the foreshore.
We recognise how important this information is for businesses, event organisers, local residents, and the wider community. As more detail becomes available in the coming months, we will share further updates and work with stakeholders to support planning and minimise disruption wherever possible.
