Beerenberg Visitor Centre

Today the Visitor Experience sees 250,000 visitors per annum.

In conjunction with development plan amendments, this streetscape upgrade is designed to inspire significant private property development, infill development opportunities and create a new destination within the inner suburbs of Adelaide.
@TSM Consulting was successful is gaining funding to assist in the design, documentation and implementation of the project, allowing Council to realise this long term vision.
