“…The renewal of waterfront landscapes into new forms of cosmopolitan living and economic activity is a notable international (Brownhill, 1990;Harvey, 1992;Merrifield, 1993;Craig-Smith & Fagence, 1995;Hoyle, 2000;Marshall, 2001) and Australian (Winchester et al, 1996;Searle & Byrne, 2002;Dovey, 2005;Oakley, 2007a) trend. This usually involves converting these sites of decay into places of spectacle oriented towards a high consumption lifestyle that emphasises a particular form of conspicuous consumption (Miles & Miles, 2004).…”

“…To enable the redevelopment to proceed and in the concept proposed by the developer, changes to the Development Act 1993 were made through the Port Adelaide Waterfront Plan Amendment Report (PAR). It is widely known that the Council supported the proposed concept plan for the inner harbour (Oakley, 2007a). However, the momentum in which residences were purchased in the first two stages of the redevelopment, coupled with a rising housing market, prompted a proposal to increase the scale and density of Stage 3.…”

“…Development agreements between the state and developers often include confidentiality clauses preventing the capacity for public comment (Dovey, 2005). Further market-led regeneration often involves little or no public consultation (Huxley, 1993) or highly orchestrated consultative processes which significantly reduce the capacity for meaningful public participation (Oakley, 2007a). Reactivating Darwin, Port Adelaide and the Melbourne Docklands are current examples of waterfront renewal which initially have partaken of this model of governance.…”

Urban waterfront regeneration is one of the largest changes to the structure of Australian and many world cities over the last two decades. There is no comparative research which evaluates their governing with particular attention to the relationship and responsibility of quasipublic agencies and local government. This study advances the competitive-city paradigm from a focus on global cities to an examination of inter-city urban competition between differently located cities in the urban hierarchy by comparing waterfront renewal projects located in Adelaide, Darwin and Melbourne. Through interview, policy and document analysis, the article offers preliminary insights on current and emergent governance arrangements involved in urban waterfront renewal. In an era of increasing inter-urban competition, the study reveals hybrid forms of urban governance are driving the planning and delivery of these three waterfront renewal projects. Further, there exists a 'knotty' tension between these models of urban governance and the capacity for meaningful consultation and participation between governments.

The regeneration of the Port Adelaide waterfront echoes many of these practices and strategies in urban planning and governance.…”

A Lefebvrian Analysis of Redeveloping Derelict Urban Docklands for High-Density Consumption Living, Australia

In Australia, large-scale residentially driven waterfront redevelopments have taken on a new urgency and their development has increasingly become politically, socially and economically significant as urban populations have burgeoned and governments have sought ways to house, employ and ensure quality urban environments. Through the lens of Henri Lefebvre's spatial schema, high-density transit-oriented urbanism in current planning orthodoxy reveals tensions and inconsistency when applied to the retrofitting of derelict urban docklands. Drawing specifically on the Port Adelaide waterfront experience, significant policy failings are evident in terms of the planning, urban design and residential densification aspirations associated with this type of development. Because waterfront redevelopments are promoted as supporting large urban populations, this paper examines the capacity of these projects to provide planning processes that can deliver equitable distributional outcomes in terms of environmentally and socially sustainable spaces of mixed housing tenure, amenity and quality urban design.

“…Susan Oakley (2007) reported on plans to revitalise the Port Adelaide waterfront that stressed high-density, up-market development designed to bring a designated return on investment. Residents who participated in consultation sessions felt they were being pressured to endorse a particular kind of 're-imagined' waterfront, one that would exacerbate differences between those living in the redeveloped area and others (Oakley 2007). …”
