Consultation has concluded

Project Information

City of Adelaide received an application from Tennis Australia to hold the Adelaide International (major tennis event) in a section of War Memorial Drive from Friday 5 January to Monday 15 January 2024.


Update

After the results of the consultation, which were largely in support of the closure, The City of Adelaide then engaged with other major stakeholders such as Emergency Services organisations and the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT). Once all of the feedback was received, a decision was made to approve the closure as it was deemed that the impact at this time of year would be minimal, and nearly all feedback was in support of the closure for the event.

    Now in it’s fourth year, the Adelaide International, a combined WTA 500 and ATP 250 tournament will be held from 8 to 13 January 2024.

    World class tennis action at The Drive will feature more than 170 top tennis players set to compete for a total prize pool of $2.5 million and world ranking points.

    The women’s tournament will feature 30 singles players and 16 doubles pairs while the men’s tournament will feature 28 singles players and 24 doubles pairs.

    And it’s much more than tennis – with live music, entertainment, bars, food trucks and premium experiences at The Drive’s new facilities, the Adelaide International is the perfect way to kick start 2024 in the beautiful heart of the riverbank precinct.

    The Adelaide International event is presented with the support of the South Australian Tourism Commission and the City of Adelaide and will be livestreamed on 9Now, broadcasted with our partner the 9 Network and globally. The 2023 event saw 79,300 people attend the event over the course of two weeks.

    City of Adelaide received an application from Tennis Australia to hold the Adelaide International (major tennis event) in a section of War Memorial Drive from Friday 5 January to Monday 15 January 2024.

    To facilitate this activity, it was proposed that the below roads will be closed to vehicles as per the below schedule:

    Location

    From

    To

    War Memorial Drive: Between King William Street and the entrance to Next Generation Gym

    5:00am on Friday 5 January 2024

    5:00pm on Monday 15 January 2024


    To facilitate the road closure, it was proposed that all the on-street parking spaces on the closed section of the roads will be changed to ‘No stopping – Tow-Away’ for the duration of the road closure. Pedestrian access would be maintained along the closed roads and the event site will not be fenced.

    Under the Local Government Act 1999, the City of Adelaide is required to consult the public before it can grant a permit for an event that requests to use a public road for business purposes, and the said purpose will require whole or partial road closure(s) that may impede the passage of traffic to a material degree.

    We asked feedback on the application to grant a temporary closure for a portion of War Memorial Drive for the purpose of the Adelaide International Tennis taking place on Friday 5 January to Monday 15 January 2024.
