Former Brompton Gasworks
The former Brompton Gasworks (the gasworks site) is a 5.8-hectare site on Chief Street, Brompton. In 2022, the owner of the site, Renewal SA, signed a Development Agreement with property developer MAB Corporation (MAB). Under this agreement, MAB is responsible for remediating the site and developing a residential and entertainment precinct.
Gasworks activities were undertaken at the site from 1863 to 1964, using a process known as coal carbonisation to generate power for large parts of Adelaide. The production of gas resulted in the generation of contaminated materials and wastes, which caused significant contamination at the site.
