Adelaide’s proposed new courts precinct project has moved to the “design and develop” stage with three consortia shortlisted by the State Government.

The consortia – Activate 40, CBUS and Investec – have been invited to submit proposals for the precinct, which is located on the corner of Gouger Street and King William Road.

Announcing the shortlist, Attorney-General John Rau said interest in the project had been strong.

“There has been strong interest from the private sector in developing this site, reflected by the the quality of proponents that have now been shortlisted,” he said.

“These consortia will now have the opportunity to put their unique precinct development ideas forward for consideration as part of the next phase of the tender process.”

At the conclusion of the next phase, it is expected that one or two of the shortlisted proponents will be invited to work collaboratively with the Government to finalise the design, obtain construction and planning approvals and complete contract and financing arrangements.
