Departmental media releases

The South Australian Government has contributed more than $230,000 in funding towards three regional aerodromes under the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program.

Major upgrades have been completed at the Leigh Creek Aerodrome, making the facility safer and more accessible.

The speed limit on a section of New West Road in Port Lincoln has been reduced from 60km/h to 50km/h following requests from the local community.

Regional public airports and aerodromes are encouraged to apply for funding for improvements in 2023-24, with Round Eight of the South Australian Support Regional Aviation Program now open.

Traffic has switched onto the new configuration of the upgraded Cross Road and Fullarton Road intersection for the first time this morning.

As River Murray water levels continue to rise, Purnong and Walker Flat ferries will close this week, while Kingston Road at Moorook will be restricted to light vehicle access only from 6pm tonight (Tuesday, 13 December).

Modified timetables for Adelaide Metro tram and bus services will be in place over the festive season between 28 and 30 December.

Artwork celebrating our Aboriginal Veterans is now on display at the upgraded four-way Goodwood, Springbank and Daws roads intersection, at Panorama.

With River Murray water levels continuing to rise, additional road and ferry closures are expected within the coming days, including Kingston Road and the Mannum downstream ferry.

Audio tactile line marking is being installed on the Northern Connector, between Wingfield and Waterloo Corner, to improve safety and lane visibility for motorists.
