Crafers Park 'n' Ride

As part of the Government’s $19 million commitment to improve transport to support growth in Mount Barker and the Adelaide Hills, the South Australian Government has committed $6 million towards delivery of additional parking at the Crafers Park ‘n’ Ride facility.

Park ‘n’ Ride facilities offer customers a place to park their car or bike, and transfer to public transport to complete their journey. These facilities reduce the reliance on private vehicle trips and subsequently reduce congestion, and environmental impacts.

Key objectives

The Crafers Park ‘n’ Ride is the closest Park ‘n’ Ride to the city in the Adelaide Hills region and this upgrade will encourage use of public transport and reduce private car use. The key objectives of the project are to:

increase Park ‘n’ Ride capacity and amenity;
improve safety and security; and
maintain access to the existing bus stops and parking.

What is proposed?

A new Park ‘n’ Ride will be built to the southeast of the existing Crafers Park ‘n’ Ride, next to the Crafers off ramp (westbound) and the South Eastern Freeway.

There will be 85 new car parking spaces, including two accessible bays and motorcycle parking.

To allow us to deliver the new facility, some vegetation removals are required. Every effort has been made to minimise the impact to vegetation wherever possible. New landscaping and trees will be planted as part of the project.
