Salisbury Mayor says shopping and entertainment hub 'is the most exciting thing in 25 years'. An artist's impression of the wave machine proposed for the Salisbury South entertainment hub. A NEW shopping and entertainment centre in Salisbury South will pump nearly $240 million a year into the local economy if approved, new modelling shows. But nearby shopping centres would take a $16 million hit a year, according to an economic impact statement commissioned by the project's developer Jamie McClurg. The new centre is planned for vacant land at the corner of Main North and Kings roads. It would attract an extra 10,000 vehicles a day to the intersection, according to the economic modelling. It would create more than 2000 jobs and a further 1300 indirect jobs. Do you think the Salisbury South shopping and entertainment hub should be built? The centre would include an indoor wave machine, bowling alley, skate park, cinema, brand outlets and a major hardware store. Revenue at Parabanks, Ingle Farm and Hollywood Plaza shopping centres would fall about 3 per cent a year. However, that would not be enough to threaten their viability, according to the modelling. The impact statement said the Kings Rd development would have a "minimal conflict" with nearby centres and existing shops "would not be in any way duplicated." Salisbury Mayor Gillian Aldridge said people across Adelaide would visit the new centre and it would benefit the city centre 4km north, which the council is working to rejuvenate. "It is the most exciting thing I've seen planned for the area in 25 years," Ms Aldridge said. Cr Damien Pilkington said the area "needed this development to happen." Cr Jana Isemonger said Hollywood Plaza and Parabanks should not lose out. The site for the proposed centre is zoned industrial and would need to be rezoned to allow for the development. Salisbury Council will consider the economic impact at a council meeting next week before deciding if it will approach the State Government to rezone the land. A council committee recommended the council fund an independent economic analysis of the development, which would cost about $15,000. The centre was first planned in 2011 but the State Government originally rejected it to preserve the land for industrial use in line with its 30-year plan for Greater Adelaide. State Planning Minister John Rau approved the council's statement of intent to rezone the site in June after Mr McClurg argued his plan would create more jobs than keeping the land for industry.
