A new $350 million housing estate alongside the Morphettville Racecourse is set to connect Adelaideans with two of Australia’s favourite traditions: drinking ludicrous volumes of Hahn SuperDry in your good shirt and paying at least 12 times too much for a poorly-built townhouse.
The new estate has been dubbed ‘The Quarter’, presumably as a nod to the percentage of Australians who can actually afford housing in this country.
While residents of the new housing estate will technically own their properties, there are some concessions that come with living on the former grounds of the Sport of Kings (or at the very least, the Sport of Sales Reps Hosting Clients in a Marquee While Having Awful Chat).
“Now the government did mostly rezone the area to Residential from Horsey,” said Hughbert Godlibong, Spokesperson for the Association of Residential Standards for Equines (ARSE).
“However, there are some historical rules pertaining to the previous zoning that simply cannot be changed. Or maybe they could, I haven’t looked into it.
“For example, while residents are welcome to have a bowl of sugar in their kitchen for their cups of tea, they must also always provide a 1 metre square sugar cube in their front yard. In case a horsey wants a little lick.
“Also, it is the duty of all residents to hose down any passed out Real Estate Agents or Media Sales Representatives they find in their garden before the ants start”.
