Although the O-Bahn City Access Project is managed and funded by State Government, Adelaide City Council has care, control and management of some of the Park Lands and surrounding roads that will be impacted by the project.  Adelaide City Council has provided conditional support for the project and, to ensure that the project delivers outcomes that are beneficial to the city, the Council and its administration are working collaboratively with the Minister and the project team.
