No. There is no overall loss to the existing number of car parks or loading zones on these streets.
We have undertaken an audit of the current on-street parking configuration in Wright Court and Field Street with the view to consolidate and update the parking controls and their location. Some on-street parking in the area has not been updated in 30+ years and we believe that on-street loading andshort-term parking is critical to businesses trading in the precinct.
The proposed on-street parking plan is designed to provide sufficient loading facilities, short-term
parking, and introduces motorcycle parking to the area.
How does this project relate to the Our Market District Plan?
Direct actions identified in the Our Market District Plan include:
“Improve footpaths, seating, landscaping, and roadways along the north-south streets to build on existing character and opportunities and create interesting and safe spaces for people”
“Make Field and Market Streets a pedestrian friendly environment, with potential for shared use roadways…”
These actions have been considered alongside the feedback received from stakeholders as
part of Stage 1 consultation (for a summary, please visit the Your Say Adelaide page online at yoursay.cityofadelaide.com.au/)
When will construction start and how long will it take?
This project is planned to be constructed during the 2018/19 financial year and will be planned taking into consideration other council projects in the area.
Pedestrian access will be maintained to all businesses at all operating times during construction.
We will be in contact with more details regarding construction closer to the date.
