Fort Restoration Unveiled

A historic moment for everyone involved, Peet is proud to hallmark the completion of the $10 million Fort heritage restoration project. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we hosted a ceremonial unveiling featuring inspiring speeches, a tour of the Fort and the symbolic first opening of the historic gates.

This December, for the first time in over a century, the community will be able to experience the magnificence of this state heritage-listed Fort. This beautifully restored community hub has been given new life and is ready to serve as a centre piece for the Lefevre Peninsula – a destination for the best South Australian produce.

“Peet has invested heavily to preserve the fort’s heritage and bring it back to life as part of the new Fort Largs community. As the project nears completion, we’re excited to unveil this new community hub which will become a landmark for the Lefevre Peninsula. By integrating the fort with new public open spaces and a diverse range of housing options, we’ve created a place where history and modern life can live together,” said Peet Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore.

“We are delighted to welcome the Fort Largs community through our doors to enjoy this space for the first time in its history. In addition to creating fantastic opportunities for small businesses in the area, it will provide a vibrant new space for the community to come together. Market goers can also look forward to access to fresh produce sourced directly from local farms, offering some of the state’s finest ingredients alongside a variety of local creative stalls, featuring clothing designers, musicians, and craft makers,” said Fort owner & operator Jarn Jamison
