Prospect Lifestyle Precinct

Project overview

online community engagement

Phase 4 consultation: 2 February to 15 March 2026

In June 2025, Council endorsed the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Masterplan, setting a long-term vision to revitalise Prospect Oval and its surrounds.

This includes upgraded community sporting and recreational facilities, improved accessibility, enhanced public green space, and a balanced mix of commercial and residential uses.

The next step in delivering on this vision is a draft Code Amendment, and we’re inviting you to have your say.

What we're consulting on

Council’s proposed amendment to the State Government’s Planning and Design Code is the legal tool that makes the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct vision possible by setting the zoning rules, land use and building heights.

The Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Draft Code Amendment proposes two distinct zones:

  • Recreation Zone: Rezones Prospect Oval and Memorial Gardens to strictly limit any development to that related to sport and recreation use, legally protecting the land for future generations.
  • Urban Corridor Boulevard Zone: Rezones the Main North Road frontage to allow mixed-use buildings (max. 12 storeys), focusing density and traffic onto the arterial road andaway from local streets.

Current zones

Proposed zones

The full Prospect Lifestyle Precinct draft Code Amendment and all related documents (including technical investigations) are available in the Document Library on the right of this page, and on the PlanSA portal here.

What happens next

Following the close of consultation, a Community Engagement Report will be provided to the Minister for Planning, who will make the final decision on Council's draft Code Amendment.

Our shared vision

Revitalising the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct to become a thriving community destination, which contributes to the day-to-day vibrancy of City of Prospect's lifestyle.

City of Prospect is committed to creating a vibrant, sustainable, and well-planned community for generations to come. The Prospect Lifestyle Precinct is the centrepiece of this commitment, representing a transformative vision for the land surrounding Prospect Oval and Memorial Gardens.

The infrastructure within the precinct, including the Prospect Oval facilities, is nearing the end of its useful life. Much of the existing infrastructure is aged, unsafe, and requires urgent and significant investment.

The estimated cost for necessary repairs and upgrades is a cost Council cannot fund alone without placing a major financial burden on our ratepayers. The alternative (allowing the precinct to fall into further disrepair) is not an option for our community.

The Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Masterplan offers a viable solution to this challenge. It is designed to:

  • Secure funding: By strategically redeveloping currently underutilised land on the eastern side of the precinct, the project generates the necessary income to fund the revitalisation of the entire area

  • Deliver modern facilities: The plan ensures the continuity of our beloved sporting and community groups by providing them with new, safe, and high-quality facilities

  • Increase public space: The project will increase the amount of usable, high-quality public open space by removing crumbling infrastructure and opening up previously inaccessible areas

  • Create a community hub: The project will transform the site into a sustainable, attractive destination that serves as a vibrant cultural and recreational hub for all residents and visitors to enjoy.

This project is about future-proofing a much-loved community asset and ensuring the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct thrives for decades to come.
