1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,239
Speaker 1: As you've heard on five double A News throughout the morning,

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: the Adelaide Central Market is looking for some new tenants,

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: in fact additional tenants, up to around fifty of them

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: and it's a chance to join the world's top food

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: destination visited by more than eight million people. It sounds

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: pretty good. And there's been a lot of work on

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: that site there where they've demolished the old part of

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: the shopping area of the market if you like, not

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: the traditional part, but the sort of crossover area that

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: you come in off next to the Hilton hotel and

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: the courts there and go in and walk straight through

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: to the Central Market. That's all gone now. If you

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: haven't been in the city to have a look at

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: that in the last year or so, and it's been

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: an empty block for a construction site, I suppose. I

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: guess they've been digging down into it, but haven't seen

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: anything rise as yet. It can't be that far away,

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't imagine. Fabian Riley, general Manager, Adelaide Central Market Authority,

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: on the line in good morning, Good.

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: Morning, Matthew, thanks for having me.

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: Where are we at with construction down there?

22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's all happening there has been over seventy

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: thousand times of soil I believe that have been removed

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: from the site. Over the last few weeks, they've reached

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: the lower basement level they've done you know, for the

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: for a project of that size, the basement is crucial,

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: so they've been doing a lot of work on that.

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: We've had our first the first quin installed a couple

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, and I believe we are about to

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: get another two or two, three, three, So yeah, it's

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: all happening.

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: When's it going to be open? When's it finished?

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: So, because of its multi use developments, the it will

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: come in stages. But the market Benson is at this

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: stage just playing for mid twenty twenty six.

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Okay, still a little while after two years or so.

37
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: So what are you looking for now? You want people

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: to commit to a tendancy.

39
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right. We're seeking expression of interest on tenants,

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: people businesses who are looking for food related venture and

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: we're looking for people who share our focus on quality, innovation,

42
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: customer service, and community spirits. So smaller business, family one,

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: independent businesses, just as we are at the moment.

44
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Is it going to look like the existing part of

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: the market, Well.

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I know. So there will be a transition, So

47
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: there will be so you know, obviously it's it's going

48
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: to be a new building, so different. There will be

49
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: an atrium, so a lot more space and some lights.

50
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: But there will be a section that will be made

51
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: of stores, traditional stores as we know them now, and

52
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: then there will be kiosk as well, and there will

53
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: be more traditional stores with walls. And then the perimeter

54
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: of the market's street facing and lane ways facing will

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: be food and raceroom more traditional offerings.

56
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's a fair bit to come, isn't there.

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: As you say, So that's the central market part, but

58
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: there's high rise as well, apartments and offices and everything else.

59
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, there will be. So the Market Square

60
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: will be a commercial building with nine stories for offices

61
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: and a childcare. There will be a hotel, another tower

62
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: with hotel and residences. I think that's two hundred and

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: fifty rooms for the hotel, undred dirty apartments. The level

64
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: one there will be at an open air public plaza

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: podium space. The level one will be retail offering complementing

66
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: the market expansion, more based around services and some SMB

67
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: as well, and of course the core of the Market Square,

68
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: which will be the Market Market Extension.

69
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: It hasn't lost any of its vibrancy while all this

70
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: has been going on. The thoroughfare walking through that's been

71
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: closed off hasn't stopped people turning up. When I was

72

00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: monitoring impact on construction and our customers are well aware

79
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: of it. But the customer experience satisfaction is still really
