Sustainable development
Roseworthy is a small farming town just 4km north of the Sturt Highway on the edge of Gawler, at the fringe of metropolitan Adelaide. At the 2011 census it had a population of 1216.
Founded in 1863, Roseworthy is an agricultural hub. It hosts a significant Viterra strategic grain storage site and is home to the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy Agricultural College, founded in 1883. Roseworthy Agricultural College is famous for being Australia’s first winemaking school and the first agricultural college. It trained many of Australia’s top winemakers. More recently it has become one of the leading veterinary schools in Australia.
Located within the Light Regional Council, the town of Roseworthy has long been considered a town with ambitions to grow. Population growth is now in the planning stages as the community and policy makers determine how to balance its unique location, nestled between the rich farming land of the Adelaide Plains which stretch out to the north and west, and the city to its south, with appropriate growth.
Land Vision Group (LVG) purchased 67 hectares of land south of Roseworthy in November 2007. The site was partially within Light Regional Council’s existing Roseworthy town boundary. Over the past nine years, LVG has worked proactively with Light Council and the State Government as a number of detailed expansion plans have been considered.
LVG is committed to sustainable Roseworthy community development as it seeks to balance environmental, economic and community values in realising this exciting growth opportunity.
