The stormwater pipe under Newlands Lane will remain and continue to manage the Council's Stormwater system in this precinct. For more information click here.

    CONSULTATION UPDATES

    2024 Adelaide Fringe - Temporary closure of Rundle Road

    Following consideration of the outcomes of the community consultation, Adelaide Fringe, The Garden of Unearthly Delights and Gluttony events have withdrawn their application to close Rundle Road for the 2024 Adelaide Fringe.

    The Adelaide Fringe, The Garden of Unearthly Delights and Gluttony events have acknowledged the public feedback received, and have advised that they plan to work through this feedback with stakeholders before they consider revisiting a potential application in the future.


    Hamilton Place, Adelaide: One Way Traffic Flow

    At its meeting on 27 June Council noted the results of traffic assessments and public consultation for the proposed closure to westbound traffic in Hamilton Place, Adelaide. A decision was made to retain the existing two-way traffic conditions in Hamilton Place.

    As part of the Greener City Streets Program five new trees will be planted and one water sensitive urban design greening area will be installed at the eastern end of Hamilton Place in late 2023.


    National Heritage Management Plan for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout

    Following the conclusion of the consultation period on the Draft National Heritage Management Plan for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout, Council is in the process of considering the submissions received and appropriate amendments to the Policy. The draft National Heritage Management Plan with recommended changes to the Plan arising from public consultation will be considered by Council in November 2023.


    Sturt Street West Greening

    The Sturt West Greening Project has been put on hold and will not be delivered as part of this year's Business Plan and Budget (BP&B). The Project will be considered in future BP&B’s.

    The reasons for the works not proceeding are as follows:

    • A rise in construction material and labour has exceeded City of Adelaide’s (CoA) expectations on costs.
    • The market is currently saturated with this type of work, which has led to little interest from contractors to undertake the works.

    Further to the above, in May 2023, Council made a decision to reallocate funding from the Sturt Street West Greening project to other projects to align with the BP&B focus for the 2023-24 financial year. This project was partly funded by Green Adelaide and the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCI).

    The project team will engage with community groups directly to inform them of this decision.

    The Grant Partners have been notified and CoA are looking to reallocate the Green Adelaide and LRCI funding.

    Street Planting

    We asked the community if they supported the proposal to increase greening across the city in streets that have little to no vegetation. The majority of responses were in favour of the increased greening in the proposed streets. Based on the feedback received, the project team are focussing on updating plans. We anticipate the greening works to commence in October 2023. You can find out more here.
