Seaton proposed housing arial shot

As part of the State Government’s commitment to building a better housing future for all South Australians, a major revitalisation project is underway in Seaton. This urban renewal initiative is being planned and delivered by Renewal SA, with support from the SA Housing Trust (the Trust). It represents the most significant investment in new housing in the region since its original post-war development.

The redevelopment will replace older housing stock with safe, modern homes that better meet the needs of current and future tenants. Many Trust owned homes in the area are dated, expensive to maintain, and no longer suited to today’s lifestyles. We are investing in public housing to ensure families in need continue to have access to secure, high-quality homes, with more choice in dwelling types. As a result, we will need to relocate some tenants to other homes, and the Trust is working closely with these tenants to ensure a smooth relocation process.
