Publications and NoticesLefevre Peninsula upgrades to support growing defence industry
Thursday, 22 December 2022
Workers in South Australia’s growing defence industry - as well as local residents and visitors to the state - will benefit from a $53.5 million road upgrade on the Lefevre Peninsula, as part of a broader $100 million package of road and rail infrastructure improvement works co-funded by the state and federal governments.
The upgrade will increase the capacity of the road network to ensure it can support the defence expansion at Osborne, as well as other industries already established on the peninsula, and improve future heavy vehicle access to the port.
The upgrades are expected to commence in late 2023 and include:
- A realignment and upgrade of the junction of Victoria Road and Pelican Point Road;
Upgrades to the Victoria Road and Veitch Road junction; - Upgraded pedestrian crossings linking with paths to the Kardi Yarta playground, Biodiversity Park and defence industry car parks;
- Improved bike lanes and footpaths, and new landscaping adjacent to the upgrades; and
New LED road lighting, line marking and drainage. - Pavement rehabilitation works will be undertaken on sections of Victoria Road between Oliver Rogers Road, North Haven and Indarra Street, Taperoo.
- These upgrades form part of a $100 million commitment to road and rail infrastructure improvements on the Lefevre Peninsula jointly funded by the South Australian and Australian governments (50:50). It will support the creation of 205 jobs per year for the life of the project.
- Community engagement on the project will commence in coming weeks, while works are expected to be complete in late 2024.
