Just looking through it, there's a lot of relevant info relating to block areas and distances from frontages on page 304.

My brother lives in Seaford Meadows and did live in Seaford Rise. Tried to encourage him to buy a big block on the beach side but they wanted a new house. I don't think much of the place personally but everyone who lives there seems to love it. He also said that in the new developments there is at least one housing trust house in each street. Unfortunately they just bought next door to one as they didn't know and the tenants are rather feral.
I would be apprehensive about buying in Christies for the quality of tenant you might attract. Can't imagine why anyone would want to rent that far out of town in an area that's not new (eg, one of the new parts of Seaford) or hasn't undergone large amounts of development (eg Port Noarlunga). For future CG it might be alright if the general populus catches on but in my mind it's not that different to investing in Hackham.
Everyone I know who moves down south is a first or second homebuyer and they generally build a place. I'd personally rather spend the same amount of money on an existing place close to town and think I'd do the same for IPs too.
My dad owns a business on Beach Road - I'm sure the area has potential, however it is still pretty dodgy if you ask me.
I did see some council plans to develop Beach Road over the next few years - trying to turn it into something similar to Jetty Road in Glenelg.
I find a degree of irony in the Jetty Road reference, mainly because the amount of time I've spent traipsing it for various reasons, I've never actually liked it! Can't put my finger on it, but there seems to be something missing on Jetty Road.....maybe it's got too much vehicle traffic, or footpaths aren't wide enough, seems to be more el-cheapo style shops there......not sure? Perhaps if Council allowed more shop fronts to be cafes & eateries it would change the appeal. At the moment the spread of retail seems to be top heavy in Jetty Road.

I think people need to look at other known dodgy outposts around the country to see that it is possible to improve amenity and local culture and deal with social inconsistencies in developing suburbia.
One of the definites of this change is that certain land parcels will be allowed to become smaller as Councils try to reign in urban sprawl which they have to provide infrastructure for.
State Govts. are driving towards building up - not out. So I would personally feel very comfortable sitting on a few largish blocks down CB way for future subdivision.
