Housing plan for Maralinga Primary

A further step has been taken to turn the former Maralinga Primary School site into housing. The State Government, which owns the site, will seek to rezone the 9 Maralinga Avenue site as a Neighbourhood Residential Zone. According to the proposal, the Government will not rezone and sell its portion of the adjoining Chandler Reserve. Bryan Hunter, who has led the Maralinga Community Garden project in Chandler Reserve, hoped the sell-off didn’t mean “lots of townhouses over my back fence.” After the school closed in 2014, the Department declared the site surplus to its needs and the building were demolished in 2017.
