Mike Rann - Riverbank Promenade redevelopment

A re-elected Rann Labor Government will expand the Adelaide Convention Centre and transform the southern banks of the River Torrens into a vibrant entertainment strip at a cost of $394 million.

The Riverbank Promenade redevelopment includes:

• a two-stage expansion of the Adelaide Convention Centre to the Morphett Street Bridge (over the rail lines), and replacing the original convention plenary building with a new 3500-seat meeting venue, increasing total floor space by nearly two thirds.

• significant upgrades and landscaping of the Riverbank Promenade and surrounding precinct to Morphett Street to increase pedestrian flows, enhance Adelaides attractiveness and increase safety and security in the area.

• works to integrate the redeveloped Convention Centre and precinct into North Terrace and the city

• a water and light feature on the River Torrens to provide a unique attraction for visitors to the area.
