A refined master plan for one of Adelaide's newest suburbs in the south
A grand plan is underway to build more homes in the seaside south of Adelaide suburb Port Stanvac.
The site of the former oil refinery is set to undergo drastic changes that is expected to create another beachside suburb in Adelaide's sprawling south.
About 8000 people are expected to live in the new-look area and the local economy is expected to get a $508 million boost.

The release of the Master Plan and the new code amendment means planning for the development site can proceed.
The new code amendment seeks to unlock the 230-hectare area, allowing for up to 3600 new dwellings that will include apartments, town houses, aged care and serviced accommodation.
The Malinauskas-led government, developer MAB and site owner Exxon Mobil, last year announced plans to unlock the site for homes, open space, employment, community facilities, and beach access to what is a currently inaccessible stretch of Adelaide's coast.
Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Nick Champion, said, 'The transformation of Port Stanvac will set a new benchmark for how we can repurpose underutilized land.'
'We are committed to ensuring that this development not only delivers homes and jobs, but also returns a beautiful stretch of our coastline to the community for everyone to enjoy.
'With the initiation of this code amendment, the new Port Stanvac goes from being a concept to a work in progress.'
About 64 hectares of the area will be dedicated to areas for retail and commercial activity, creating 1700 new jobs.
The development will also unlock 40 hectares of coastline, while more than 30 per cent of the site will be an open space.
City of Onkaparinga mayor Moira Were described the development of Port Stanvac as a 'unique, one-off opportunity to drive new economic, social and environmental benefits to Onkaparinga and the state'.

Jacqui Felgate buys $4.35m luxury Mornington Peninsula retreat
Jacqui Felgate has joined the Mornington Peninsula elite, snapping up a $4m-plus eco-luxe estate with husband Michael and their two daughters. Property documents confirm the couple purchased the over-7ha property earlier this year, finalising the sale in February after a month-long campaign. The 3AW Drive presenter, former 7News anchor and now prominent digital commentator referred at the move on her Instagram page, telling followers she had 'finally bought' while posting a series of images tagged to the Peninsula, including a cosy shot of herself in front of a striking two-way fireplace. The home, built with blackbutt and silvertop ash timber, wraps around the fireplace and showcases sweeping views through double-glazed windows. A sundeck runs the length of the home, with the open-plan kitchen and dining zone finished in high-end stone, a Falcon range, and a butler's pantry. The estate also has a separate wing with three bedrooms, another fireplace, and a designer bathroom with a luxurious bathtub. The home's eco credentials are boosted with a solar and battery system, while the rich Mornington Peninsula soil profile makes it suitable for a vineyard or primary production. An industry source familiar with the sale said the home offered 'exactly what high-end buyers are chasing right now, privacy, lifestyle, and a low-maintenance architectural design that blends into the landscape'. 'The market in that part of the Peninsula has held up well. Quality homes like this, especially with acreage and strong sustainability features, are still commanding attention,' the source said. Records show the property was listed with $5.3m-$5.6m price hopes, before selling for $4.35m. The listing agent declined to comment on the sale. The new home offers a peaceful escape minutes from some of Victoria's best restaurants, wineries and walking trails.

Huge blow for Australia's nuclear submarine plans as US government reviews AUKUS deal
In a huge blow for Australia's plans to acquire and eventually build nuclear submarines, the Pentagon has confirmed to 7NEWS that it is reviewing the $300 billion agreement. Australia has already made a $500 million down payment to the United States for the first Virginia class vessels. A US Department of Defense official says AUKUS is being reviewed 'as part of ensuring that this initiative of the previous Administration is aligned with the President's America First agenda'. 'As Secretary Hegseth has made clear, this means ensuring the highest readiness of our servicemembers, that allies step up fully to do their part for collective defence, and that the defence industrial base is meeting our needs,' the official said. 'This review will ensure the initiative meets these common sense, America First criteria.' The Anthony Albanese government is yet to respond to the announcement of a review. The prime minister is now under extreme pressure to save AUKUS, and will seek assurances from the US President Donald Trump that the deal is still on. Albanese and Trump are set to meet, face to face, for the first time on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada in the next week. What is AUKUS? Under the plan signed between former prime minister Scott Morrison and former United States president Joe Biden, the White House intends to sell Australia three Virginia Class SSNs (nuclear-powered submarines) from as soon as the early 2030s, which was authorised by the US Congress in December 2023. Australia retains the option to seek approval for up to two more if needed. Australia's Submarine Agency says, 'This acquisition will eliminate any capability gap and increase the three nations' (Australia, UK and US) ability to deter aggression and contribute to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific.' Australia will then build its own nuclear powered submarines based off technology from the UK. Australia's nuclear-powered submarines - SSN-AUKUS - will be based on the UK's next-generation design that incorporates technology from all three nations, including cutting edge US submarine technologies. The UK will commence construction of its first SSN-AUKUS in Barrow-in-Furness UK, as early as the late 2020s. The UK intends to deliver its first SSN-AUKUS to the UK Royal Navy in the late 2030s. Australia will begin building its first SSN-AUKUS in Adelaide, South Australia, by the end of this decade, and plans to deliver the first Australian-built SSN-AUKUS to the Royal Australian Navy in the early 2040s.

Geelong great and Sydney CEO Tom Harley to join AFL as chief operation officer
Sydney CEO and Geelong premiership captain Tom Harley has accepted the job as the AFL's chief operating officer. The AFL is set to confirm the move on Thursday (tomorrow). 'The details are yet to be nutted out, the official offer has not been signed, but my firm understanding is Tom Harley will become Andrew Dillon's chief operating officer,' Wilson said on 7NEWS on June 3. 'He will leave the Sydney Swans after a distinguished career as footy boss and then CEO.' The appointment comes just days after Brisbane CEO Greg Swann was named as the AFL's executive general manager of football performance. It also continues a push from clubs to get more leaders from 'clubland' into AFL HQ. Harley is a dual Geelong premiership captain and an All-Australian. He joined the Swans in 2014 as the general manager of football before transitioning to the CEO position in 2019. Harley's move to the AFL is the latest in a shake-up at league headquarters. Laura Kane was a big casualty in Andrew Dillon's recent shake-up, with her football operations role split in two. Swann will take on football performance, while Kane will be in charge of football operations. Her portfolio will now include operations for the AFL and AFLW, the strategic growth of the AFLW and managing the league's mental health and healthcare unit. 'Laura is a valued member of the executive team - she has an incredible portfolio, a big portfolio in front of her now,' Dillon said. 'What I've said is we want to make sure we have a structure that allows the AFL to continue the momentum we have, into the future. 'She's done amazing work in the three years she's been at the AFL. What we have now with Greg coming in looking after the football performance, Laura continuing to run football operations - football is at the core of what we do. 'She has a really big and important role and she's excited by the challenge in front of her.' Another major change to Dillons' executive team is the imminent departure of Indigenous and inclusion manager Tayna Hosch. Also, her role, which includes gender, will be folded into the corporate affairs portfolio. 'Tanya, in her nearly nine years at the AFL, did an incredible amount of work in this space,' Dillon said. 'We have incredible leaders across all tiers of the organisation - Denise Bowden, who's just joined our commission, an Indigenous advisory council that's working really well. 'What we will have is more leaders and more voices across the organisation. Our commitment to our inclusion is as strong as it's ever been.' While Dillon's executive changes follow months of growing concerns about how the AFL is performing, he is bullish about the league. 'What the announcements from last week do is ensure we can continue the momentum we have and make sure we're set up for success going into the future,' he said. Dillon was speaking at the announcement of free admission for children under 14 later this season. Select games will feature the initiative in rounds 16-19 and all Victorian games will be free for kids in round 21.
