Born out of a study to help revitalise Glenelg and the City of Holdfast, the redeveloped jetty captures the imagination and is the result of an innovative collaboration by global architecture practice Woods Bagot, multidisciplinary consultancy Mott MacDonald and the City of Holdfast Bay. 

The concept currently proposes a 15m wide by 400m long jetty, creating a new urban form which is expected to attract new visitors, including visiting cruise ship passengers and provide a fantastic opportunity to connect directly to Glenelg and surrounding South Australia. Additionally the proposal envisages a large public event space at the entry of the jetty and an enclosed pavilion space at the end of the jetty. 

A boutique hotel, marketed to attract new tourist demographics toGlenelg, a centre for marine excellence and terminals for catamaran ferries, private luxury yachts and sea planes are expected to become further drawcards for attracting tourists and visitors to Glenelg. Woods Bagot Director Thomas Masullo explained Glenelg has always been an important place in the lives of South Australians and the design celebrates the jetty in its heyday.
