Up for auction is 37 Australia Avenue, Modbury — this three bedroom one bathroom property is a rare and highly sought-after development site in one of the north-east's strongest growth pockets. Occupying approximately 652 square metres, this property comes with full Planning Consent already secured, allowing you to bypass lengthy approval timelines, reduce uncertainty, and proceed directly to construction or marketing. This level of readiness is uncommon in the Modbury area and provides an immediate advantage to capitalise on current market conditions.
You may want to keep the house and move in, which is currently rented at $600pw, or you can knock down and build your dream home, OR take advantage of the new zoning changes and build multiple properties.
There is planning consent for 4 dwellings, however you can build 5 on this block if you are willing to go through the planning approval process.
The location is exceptionally strategic, positioned within moments of Westfield Tea Tree Plaza, the O-Bahn Interchange for rapid city access, Modbury Hospital, quality schooling, and a full range of lifestyle amenities. The surrounding streets are well established yet continue to attract modern development, ensuring strong buyer interest and ongoing capital growth. With major retail, employment hubs, and transport links just minutes away, this is a site that delivers both convenience for future residents and long-term value for developers and investors.
Why This Site Stands Out
Growth Momentum in Modbury
Modbury's real estate market is experiencing sustained growth. Median house prices are around $760,000, with units averaging near $561,000. Market data consistently ranks Modbury as a balanced investment hotspot delivering both capital growth and strong rental returns. It is widely recognised among Adelaide's most in-demand growth suburbs, signalling heightened buyer interest and a clear upward price trajectory.
Infrastructure and Civic Investment
The City of Tea Tree Gully continues to drive revitalisation across the Modbury precinct through council-led investment and strategic planning. Future upgrades include improved streetscapes, enhanced urban design, and amenity expansion, all designed to support population growth and encourage high-quality development.
Unmatched Connectivity and Amenity Access
Only a short walk from the property, the Tea Tree Plaza Interchange provides direct CBD access in under 20 minutes via Adelaide's high-speed O-Bahn Busway. At the heart of the area, Westfield Tea Tree Plaza stands as one of Adelaide's largest shopping destinations, home to almost 250 stores, dining options, entertainment, and major retail anchors. Modbury Hospital, a 24-hour healthcare facility servicing more than 400,000 residents, adds to the suburb's reputation for convenience and livability.
Education and Demographic Strength
Families are well catered for with strong educational infrastructure underpinning the area's appeal. Modbury High School, with more than 700 students from years 7 to 12, offers a diverse curriculum and strong academic and sporting programs. For younger children, well-regarded primary schools such as Modbury South Primary, Ardtornish Primary, and East Para Primary are all close by, each offering supportive learning environments and active community engagement. A mix of public and private schooling options ensures flexibility for families as their needs change.
The suburb's demographic profile is balanced and stable, with a mix of young families, professionals, and long-term residents who value both the convenience and the lifestyle Modbury provides. This stability, paired with the growth in modern housing and new amenities, reinforces the area's ongoing popularity as a place where people choose to settle, invest, and stay long-term.
