Northern Adelaide Transport Study
About the project
The study will consider key issues and opportunities to improve transport in the northern area. This could be road safety and efficiency, and its ability to support liveability, and population and economic growth.
The study area includes the inner and outer northern suburbs of Adelaide, from Prospect to Roseworthy and Buckland Park to Humbug Scrub. This area was selected because of strong projected population growth and the need to ensure safe and efficient connectivity within these areas.
For more information on the study and what we know about the area see the Northern Adelaide Transport Study factsheet (PDF 545KB).

Community engagement
Stakeholder and community input is important to ensure the transport study is informed by local insights from those who know the region best – those that live, work, and travel in the region.
From previous engagement in the northern area, we understand the key opportunities for improvement at a local level within the area. This includes:
- addressing congestion, travel time delay and reliability
- user safety
- east to west movements.
Thank you to all members of the community who took the time to give feedback during the six-week engagement period. We are reviewing all feedback received. This will help the project team to understand the priorities and opportunities that are important for the local community.
