02/06/2021 - 180 - Tonsley Innovation District

Tonsley Innovation District has been designed to unite progressive individuals, businesses and researchers looking to collaborate, test, build and grow in a flexible and supportive environment.

Built on the site of the former Mitsubishi car manufacturing plant, which was itself a cornerstone of South Australia’s manufacturing industry, Tonsley has since become a sustainable economic base for future industries.

Now home to leading-edge research and education institutions, established businesses and start-ups, business incubators and accelerators, retail spaces and a residential development, Tonsley Innovation District is providing the opportunity for the manufacturing industry in South Australia to adapt and better utilise its strengths, transitioning from traditional to high-value manufacturing.
