Northern Adelaide intersection fix to support new housing

Friday, 22 November 2024

A notorious intersection in Adelaide’s northern suburbs will be fixed, thanks to a partnership between the Australian and South Australian governments.

A new roundabout will be created at the intersection of Curtis Road and Heaslip Road at Angle Vale, with associated road upgrades to also improve safety and ease congestion.

The Angle Vale upgrade will support the rapidly expanding nearby residential developments, improving access and road safety.

The $30 million project will be jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments.

The Australian Government’s $15 million contribution is funded through its $1 billion Priority Works Stream of the Housing Support Program (HSP).

The Government has committed $1.5 billion to the HSP which is one of a range of measures introduced by the Australian Government to help achieve the ambitious national target of building 1.2 million new, well-located homes over the next five years.

The HSP supports speeding up housing supply by funding projects that deliver enabling infrastructure and provide amenities to support new housing development.

It is part of the $32 billion in new housing initiatives the Australian Government is delivering through the Homes for Australia plan.

Approximately 700 new homes are expected to be built in the nearby developments over the coming years, aided by South Australian Government’s record $1.5 billion investment to expand the water and sewer network to areas such as Angle Vale.

The detailed design process is already underway with work expected to start in 2025.
