Fletcher's Slip was for many the preferred site, but other sites such as Cruickshanks Corner and the Queens Wharf near Hart's Mill were considered. A celebration for the ship's 150th anniversary was held on 17 May 2014. On 28 September 2015 David Brown of the Clyde Cruising Club presented the bible from the SV "Carrick" to the current owners in Port Adelaide for display in the ship. In April 2017 the South Australian Government announced that Dock 2 would become the precinct to house all of Port Adelaide's historic ships., but this site is considered "virtually inaccessible" by the City of Adelaide Preservation Trust, which would instead prefer a regional city such as Port Augusta, or interstate. On 18 July 2017 Mrs Pamela Whittle (née Bruce, great granddaughter of Captain David Bruce) made a significant donation to the ongoing project to preserve the ship. The Clipper Ship Board has determined that it will be used to recreate the Captain's quarters within the restored saloon. A replica Coat of Arms commissioned by the Adelaide City Council was unveiled on the stern of the ship by the Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Martin Haese on 15 October 2017. On 10 January 2018 the ship was moved a short distance within Dock One in order to remove it from an adjacent housing development project, and on 15 March 2018 a children's activity book about the ship was launched. In November 2018 the wheel fitted to the ship by the Royal Navy in 1923, when it was named HMS Carrick, was unveiled within the City of Adelaide. On 29 November 2019 "City of Adelaide" was towed to her permanent home in Dock 2, Port Adelaide. "City of Adelaide" is now in Dock 2, but still on the barge "Bradley". It is planned to move the ship from the barge onto the adjoining land in 2021. CSCOAL has secured a long term peppercorn lease for the land from the South Australian Government, and plans to develop a seaport village, with "City of Adelaide" as its centre-piece.
