Current status

Following the release of the Central Market Arcade concept designs, the detailed design process will commence. This process will involve multiple stakeholders.

It is anticipated that construction will commence in 2021 and securing all statutory approvals and tenancy pre-commitments.

The construction period for the City of Adelaide’s returnable work (6,000m2 of retail, public car parking and loading/service areas) is estimated at 24 to 30 months.

The time period for the whole redevelopment (beyond the City of Adelaide’s returnable work) is expected to be three and a half to five years subject to the construction methodology.

As the project progresses the works notifications will be published on the relevant webpage as well as being distributed to relevant stakeholders.

While preparing for construction, City of Adelaide is working closely with the Central Market Arcade Traders Association and traders to support the existing Central Market Arcade.

You’ll find details of forthcoming activities and campaigns at the Central Market Arcade Facebook page and website.
