The City of Playford is developing a high-tech, smart health hub that will see the expansion of the area surrounding the Lyell McEwin Hospital into an interconnected health precinct featuring tertiary training, research capability, allied health facilities and residential accommodation.

The precinct will include 'Healthia', a centre for restorative health and wellness to be constructed by the ACH Group. The complex will contain a mix of commercial, retail and health-oriented services, such as fitness studio and allied health practitioners, to support the 90 care places, tertiary teaching facilities, therapy services, community facilities, as well as mixed accommodation for students, affordable and private housing.
