Main North Road and Regency Road intersection planning study

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.

Curtis Road and Dalkeith Road planning study

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.
