Northern Adelaide Suburbs Road Upgrades

As part of the State Government’s election commitments, we are undertaking the Northern Suburbs Local Roads upgrades.

This initiative involves planning, designing and constructing upgrades to improve access to and from the local roads and improved access for vehicles to travel north from Salisbury Heights, these are:

• Junction of Main North Road and Target Hill Road
• Junction of The Grove Way and Green Valley Drive
• Junction of The Grove Way and Canterbury Drive

In addition to these projects, The Grove Way, Atlantis Drive and Aeolian Drive intersection also forms part of these works in Golden Grove.

The Grove Way, Atlantis Drive and Aeolian Drive intersection

At The Grove Way, Atlantis Drive and Aeolian Drive intersection right turn arrows for motorists on Atlantis Drive and Aeolian Drive will be installed.  In addition, as part of the Infrastructure Investment Black Spot Program, the Australian Government, has committed $242,000 to upgrade this intersection and enhance safety.

A Road Management Plan for the Mawson Lakes area reviews local accessibility in consultation with the community and City of Salisbury. The Road Management Plan includes problem definition and analysis of options that address them in the short, medium and long-term.

The scope for this initiative covers planning and engagement activities.

The Department has partnered with the City of Playford to deliver a traffic management plan at Blake’s Crossing. The study will investigate local traffic issues such as speeding, parking, pedestrian safety around schools and shopping areas and traffic and road safety.

City of Playford sought feedback from the community to understand local residents traffic experiences. This survey is now closed. Visit playford.engagementhub.com.au for more information.

A Road Management Plan (RMP) for Nelson Road (Wright Road to McIntyre Road) has undertaken an evidence-based analysis in consultation with the community and City of Salisbury to identify priority initiatives to reduce congestion and improve safety.

A traffic management plan is being developed for this intersection to investigate potential options to improve traffic flow, reduce waiting times for motorists and improve pedestrian safety and access for local businesses.

The scope for this initiative includes planning and engagement activities only. Funding to deliver any potential enhancements would need to be prioritised and sought as part of the budget process.

Community engagement

Seeking feedback from the community and stakeholders is a key part of building a comprehensive picture of how our road network is operating. This feedback is important to help us understand community viewpoints and experiences that might not be captured by a technical analysis. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the consultation activities and provided feedback during the six-week consultation period in late 2022.

We are now analysing the feedback received, along with technical data, to investigate potentially feasible short term solutions to assist in addressing the concerns raised. A Consultation Outcomes Summary is available for community members to review.

A planning study is underway to identify opportunities to improve Curtis and Dalkeith Roads to support development growth in the surrounding area.

The Department is working collaboratively with Playford and Gawler Councils to undertake this planning.

The planning study will inform future infrastructure requirements for Curtis and Dalkeith Roads in the Playford City and Gawler council areas. The scope for this initiative will cover planning and engagement activities.
