Port Adelaide Business Support Program The State Government and the City of Port Adelaide Enfield are working together in partnership and with the local community to regenerate historic Port Adelaide. Port Adelaide is a place so richly engrained in our state s history; it s a history that will aid the evolution of the area and help to develop a place that s significant to modern day South Australia. This partnership is passionate about recreating a community with purpose and breathing more life into an undeniably unique corner of the world. This is all made possible through delivery of the Port Adelaide Precinct Plan (2012). The State Government is committed to supporting businesses in the Port. Various initiatives have been put in place since 2012; these have not only assisted businesses but have brought new and innovative ideas to the Port s central business district and breathed new life into unused spaces. And now, there s something even bigger. For the next three years a new business support program will be delivered in the Port, providing grants that support local businesses through building compliance and façade improvement. In addition businesses can also gain access to business support and mentoring. The plan is reigniting the Port and ensuring it can reach its full potential; having more people and businesses living, working, playing and investing here. The evidence of which can already be seen, with new commercial opportunities sitting alongside stunning heritage spaces and new community activities thriving alongside the old. Not to mention a natural environment which is able to flourish within a city. Port Adelaide Business Support Program 2
