ABC Adelaide has announced a significant move of its operations from its current location in Collinswood to a new arts hub in the Central Business District (CBD) of Adelaide. This new facility, set to be developed at the former Adelaide Bus Station site known as Tapangka, is part of a collaborative effort with Country Arts SA, State Theatre Company South Australia, and State Opera South Australia, all of which will also relocate to this new facility. The new arts and media hub is expected to foster a creative environment and enhance the collaboration among these vital arts organizations.

The proposed building is scheduled to be completed by 2031, signaling a long-term commitment to the arts in Adelaide. The partnership with the South Australian government and urban development agency Renewal SA will focus on creating a modern facility that serves as a cultural landmark in the CBD. This is particularly significant for the local community, as it represents an investment in the arts infrastructure and aims to revitalize the area further.

Furthermore, this move is poised to strengthen the relationship between ABC and local arts organizations, promoting cultural programming and accessibility to the arts for the local population. As the project progresses, it will be subject to public works approval, reflecting the importance of community input in urban development initiatives. Overall, this transition marks a notable shift in the landscape of Adelaide’s arts scene, positioning it for future growth and collaboration.
