Collinswood is a suburb in Adelaide, Australia, spanning the boundary of the Prospect and the Port Adelaide Enfield local government areas.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) studios on the corner of North East Road and Galway Avenue opened in 1974. The ABC plans to move operations from Collinswood to a new arts precinct on the site of the old Adelaide Central bus station in Franklin Street, Adelaide by 2031. Country Arts SA, the State Theatre Company South Australia and State Opera South Australia who are also tenants of the ABC building will also move.
