Developing in Modbury
Modbury’s location and infrastructure provides the ideal foundation for renewal.
Supported by Council's own major investment in the precinct, the City of Tea Tree Gully is actively encouraging development in Modbury and its surrounding suburbs. Council’s Modbury Precinct Activation Policy demonstrates Council’s commitment to activating Modbury and delivering the vision for the precinct.
Improved transport links to the CBD have made the area very accessible for residents, particularly with the O-Bahn busway linking the Modbury Precinct and Adelaide’s CBD. Modbury is also identified as a State Significant Infill Area within the State Government’s Greater Adelaide Regional Plan.
