Consultation has concluded.

Project Information

Do you live, work, shop or play in Hindley Street? What do you love and what would you change?

Council is looking forward to having a conversation with the community about the long-term vision and objectives within the Hindley Street Master Plan draft, to seek feedback on the community’s priorities and inform the direction for future actions and investments to revitalise Hindley Street.

Background

City of Adelaide has identified Hindley Street as one of four priority main streets and is developing detailed design plans for the purpose of place revitalisation. In the lead up to the design phase, a process of data gathering and stakeholder engagement has been underway since February 2021. The outcomes of the data gathering and engagement has informed the development of the design for each priority main street Master Plan.

The Hindley Street Master Plan draft provides a blueprint to visualise the street’s future potential and enable the City of Adelaide to plan and implement staged improvements.

    Hindley Street Footpath Extension Trial Update

    Identified through community and stakeholder engagement, the Hindley Street Footpath Extension Trial is a part of Council’s ongoing Main Street Revitalisation work. This trial began in November 2021 with the following aims:

    • To address pedestrian safety issues by increasing the walkable space in selected areas where congestion occurs by widening the footpath.
    • To move outdoor dining furniture off the footpaths into the extended on-street areas.
    • To enhance street aesthetics by way of greening with low level planter boxes.
    • To provide new spaces that present opportunity for curated community street activations.
    • To test the practical impacts of kerb alignment that will inform long term improvement, planning and design.

    A 12-month review of community and stakeholder feedback gathered through direct trader and late-night patron liaison, surveys and a CoA Yoursay webpage has recently been completed. The results of the data reveal:

    • The area at the Woolshed at 100 Hindley Street has been highly successful in achieving all of the trial aims, and a further 12-month extension of this trial area will now occur.
    • The Hello Harry area at the corner of King William Street was largely unused and caused significant traffic congestion, highlighting a preference to reinstate the left-hand turning lane over the continuation of the trial. This footpath extension was removed in December 2022.
    • Due to a change in the business mix, the timber ‘parklet’ structure at 101 Hindley Street (Red Robin Café – now closed) was removed in December 2022 while the mural artwork area of the extension will remain in place at 99 Hindley Street (99 Gang Social).
    • A temporary footpath extension at the newly opened Hindley Street Music Hall located at 149 Hindley Street was identified. This new extension aims to address safety issues relating to congestion around access and egress of audiences attending performances.

    Additional feedback will be collected over the next 12 months and the trial will undergo further review in November 2023.
