12.01.2022 We want to give prominence to The Lord Mayors response to our most recent post and to the discussion that followed. Stephen Yarwood commented as follows: "It is certainly sad but how local government must work. As Lord Mayor I am a massive fan and huge supporter of the work the Depot team have done. Please look at it from our perspective... It would be bordering on corruption to hand over the site to one group without a fair and transparent tender process that gives everyon...e a chance. Government cannot work that way, and when it does the media tears us apart! Please think about our legal responsibilities to be fair... I am truly grateful for the efforts that boys have made towards new Adelaide and certainly hope they put in a corker of a proposal!" The Lord Mayor has indeed been a very enthusiastic supporter and facilitator of The Depot. We have in fact dealt with many competent and committed people at the ACC. We realise that a project like The Depot takes a lot of work from Councils perspective and we have greatly appreciated the work by, and the support of, many committed ACC elected and staff members. However, our primary issue remains that the EOI process was not even mentioned until some 16 months after we first lodged our interest in using The Depot site, a site that had been an urban wasteland for many years. Nobody else showed any interest in making something of it then. If the ACC had decided to engage in an EOI process from the outset, we would have had no arguments with them about this. But not now, and not the way it was done. We acknowledge that the Council has a different view, and we thought it appropriate to ensure you heard it. On a brighter note, we believe that there are in fact positive changes afoot in Adelaide and we applaud the ACC for being a big driver of this. We now wont bother you anymore! The Depot Team

12.01.2022 The Depot is excited to announce our new Sunday Markets! Every Sunday from Midday, The Depot will become an eclectic marketplace, hosting stallholders a plenty selling their unique wares.

Spend the day browsing the stalls, listening to tunes, enjoying a bite to eat from one of our delicious food vendors and a few drinks from the bar. There...s no better way to spend a Sunday! Are you a marketeer or stallholder wanting to showcase and sell your wares over the next 4 Sundays at The Depot? Then we want to hear from you as spots are filling up fast! Drop in this Sunday and speak to Cassandra at Thrift Shop, or send us an email at [email protected]

11.01.2022 Hey Boys & Girls! Just a quick reminder that we open our doors to the public after Pete Murray & the ASO wrap up at 10pm!

10.01.2022 Good Afternoon Depot Fans! Due to a number of factors, The Depot team has decided to not continue to operate during April. We are sorry for any disappointment this may cause (we are disappointed too!) On a brighter note, the Fringe period was a great success for The Depot and we are looking forward to building on this success in the future. We hope to return for the 2014 Fringe and discussions with Council and Adelaide Fringe are already underway. Stay tuned to our Facebook p...age for developments. We cant thank you all enough for your ongoing support and patronage over the past few months! We would also like to once again thank the City of Adelaide Council, the Splash Adelaide team, the SA Government, the Adelaide Fringe and all of our wonderful suppliers, staff and helpers for all of their fantastic support.

01.01.2022 Hi all. Just a quick update on the position with The Depot. We are in the process of gaining all of the necessary approvals to start up again. The currently plan is to start in October/November with some special re-opening events and then to continue with Sunday Markets, private functions (happy if you want to register your interest) and one-off events over summer. We are also putting together an outline for the 2014 Fringe which looks pretty exciting. But first things first ... the approvals! We cant take them for granted, so fingers crossed.
