This project was summarised (in broad terms) in our project brief provided by the Department as follows: The department is currently in the planning phase for the upgrade of the Torrens Rail Junction; between the River Torrens rail bridge and Chief Street, Brompton. The interstate mainline freight railway crosses the Outer Harbor metropolitan passenger railway at-grade at the existing Torrens Rail Junction, imposing restrictions on rail freight. The project will involve removing the junction by lowering the metropolitan passenger railway below ground level and underneath the interstate mainline railway. Once completed, freight trains up to 1,800 metres (currently restricted to 1,500 metres when coming from the north) will be able to pass through this location without reducing speed, which will provide significant improvements to freight rail productivity. Traffic delays caused by Outer Harbor passenger trains at the existing Park Terrace Bowden level crossing will be eliminated through the continuation of the rail underpass underneath Park Terrace and through to Bowden. The project also includes provision of some temporary rail track works outside of the project corridor.... This assessment is based upon the following documentation: • “Outer Harbor, Torrens Rail Junction Grade Separation, Outer Harbor (Down Track)” Option 2 (by DPTI): - IW089300-ESR-SK-0009 (Rev B, dated 23.06.15): Plan and Profile; - IW089300-ESR-SK-0048 (Rev B, dated 28.07.15): Bowden Station Plan and Profile; - IW089300-ESR-SK-0101 (Rev A, dated 31.07.15): Construction Staging (Option 5)- Stage 1 General Construction; - IW089300-ESR-SK-0102 (Rev A, dated 31.07.15): Construction Staging (Option 5)- Stage 2 General Construction; 3 National Heritage Impact Assmt : DA153199 : 0 Junction Torrens Rail : Rev - IW089300-ESR-SK-0103 (Rev A, dated 31.07.15): Construction Staging (Option 5)- Stage 3 General Construction; - IW089300-ESR-SK-0104 (Rev A, dated 31.07.15): Construction Staging (Option 5)- Stage 4 General Construction; - IW089300-ESR-SK-0105 (Rev A, dated 31.07.15): Construction Staging (Option 5)- Stage 5 General Construction; - IW089300-ESR-SK-0106 (Rev A, dated 31.07.15): Construction Staging (Option 5)- Stage 6 General Construction; A - IW089300-ESR-SK-0107 (Rev A, dated 31.07.15): Construction Staging (Option 5)- Stage 7 General Construction. 9 .12.15 • Concept visualisation (file provided 12 August titled TorrensJunction_v011.mp4); • Torrens Rail Junction Concept Study (by Cox and Outer Space, 17 Sept 2015 Rev C, drawings: - Site Plan; - Station Precinct Plan; - Longitudinal Section Through Station Section A; - Longitudinal Section Through Station Section B and C; - Longitudinal Section Through Station Section D and E; and - 3D massing. • Torrens Rail Junction Construction Noise and Vibration Management Framework (dated 1 Sept 2015, Rev A), by Resonate Acoustics. The Torrens Rail Junction Construction Noise and Vibration Management Framework (CNVMF) prepared by Resonate Acoustics provides the following project description: The Torrens Rail Junction project is the second project planned as part of the separation of freight and passenger rail lines in metropolitan Adelaide, the first being the recently completed Goodwood Rail Junction project. The project will grade separate the Melbourne to Adelaide freight line and the Outer Harbor passenger rail line at the existing crossing point near Bonython Park and will also underground the passenger line beneath Park Terrace and Gibson Street in Bowden. The concept design includes: • creation of a cutting along the alignment of the existing Outer Harbor passenger rail line from just north of the Torrens River Rail Bridge in the Adelaide Parklands to just north of the current Gibson Street level crossing in Bowden; • a rail bridge to allow the Melbourne to Adelaide freight line and Gawler passenger rail line to cross the Outer Harbor line at the existing junction point; • removal of the existing level crossings at Park Terrace and Gibson Street; 4 • creation of a new underground railway station in the Bowden National Heritage Impact Assmt : DA153199 : 0 Junction Torrens Rail : Rev urban development site; and • improved cycling and pedestrian facilities. The rail junction currently creates problems for operation of the freight line in particular, in the form of delays and length restrictions for trains. The project will have a number of significant benefits for the transport network including: • removal of the requirement for freight trains to wait for passenger A trains to pass through the junction, thereby increasing efficiency of movements on the freight line; 9 • increased safety by the removal of the Park Terrace and Gibson .12.15 Street level crossings; • removal of the Park Terrace level crossing improving traffic flows and reducing waiting times on Park Terrace, an important part of Adelaide’s inner ring route; • reduced traffic waiting times at the Hawker Street and Torrens Road level crossings; and • creation of a new passenger railway station at Bowden, which is an important urban development site for Adelaide. It is expected that construction will commence in 2016 and be completed by 2017. During the construction phase, a temporary rail alignment will be established for all three lines, largely on the western side of the existing junction.

    The Federal Redistribution 2011 South Australia • t; Public Suggestion Number 1 Martin Gordon 8 pages 86 Companion Crescent Flynn ACT 2615 [email protected] 02-62589372 The Redistribution Committee for South Australia Dear Members, Redistribution of Federal Electoral Boundaries in South Australia I have a whole of state redistribution proposal for South Australia. The population differences between the 11 existing divisions are not significantly out of kilter with the current average enrolment and tolerances. Comparatively minor changes I suggest are necessary to bring all the divisions within tolerance in 2015. The nature ofthe changes I have proposed are consistent with economics, social and regional community of interests; communications and travel within the divisions; physical features and existing boundaries. I have provided comments in relation to each division and have compiled the changes into a table which demonstrates they are all well within tolerances in 2015. Grey The existing division is slightly below average enrolment at 100,095 electors. It is growing at nearly the state average electors growth over the next four years (4.02% versus 4.09%). I have proposed no change to the boundaries and the projected enrolments for 2015 will remain at 104,118 or 99.39% of projected average enrolment at that time. Both adjoining divisions of Wakefield and Barker are above quota and any changes to their boundaries can be applied to remedy elector shortfalls in other divisions. Barker The existing division is well above quota and its growth rate is also above the state­ wide average (4.41 % versus 4.09%), and shedding several thousand electors to Wakefield between Gawler and the Barossa, the principal localities are Lyndoch and Sandy Creek.

Overview Adelaide's transport action group People for Public Transport held its annual conference 'Missed Opportunities - New Possibilities' on Saturday 25 October 2003 at Balyana Conference Centre, Clapham, attracting some notable speakers and considerable interest. The next three pages present a brief overview of the event and highlights of the speakers' comments. The keynote speaker was Dr Paul Mees, a well known public transport advocate from Melbourne, where he teaches transport and land use planning in the urban planning program at the University of Melbourne. He was President of the Public Transport Users Association (Vic) from 1992 to 2001. (See separate panel page 42.) Dr Alan Perkins talked about the benefits of making railway stations centres for the community, with commercial and medium density housing clustered around the stations and noted places where this had not happened. He stressed the importance of urban design and security at stations. Dr Perkins' work has focused on the nexus of urban planning, transport, greenhouse impacts and sustainability, through research and policy development. He is Senior Transport Policy Analyst with the SA Department of Transport and Urban Planning. See below. Mr Roy Arnold, General Manager of TransAdelaide' talked about his vision for the future of Adelaide's suburban rail, including the new trams, to be introduced in 2005. This is summarised on page 42. Mr Nell Smith, General Manager of Swan Transit (Perth) and a director of Torrens Transit in Adelaide, has been deeply involved in the service reviews that have led to the reversal of long term patronage decline in both cities.

  • Re-Imagining Adelaide's Public Transport by Andrew Leunig 28 August 2013
    Re-imagining Adelaide's Public Transport By Andrew Leunig 28 August 2013 With some further notes as at 20 March 2015 (at rear) Re-imagining Adelaide's Public Transport Exec Summary I believe that Adelaide could be the most livable and most learning City on the Planet. The “most liveable” city in the world will get the balance between Public and Private transport right. It will be “liveable” for the old and the young, the rich and the poor. Why couldn't Adelaide have the cleverest, most vibrant public transport system for a town of it's size on the planet ? No Reason at all. But we have to want it first. At the moment our Public Transport mode share (9.9%) is about the lowest in Australia and that is our accepted norm. Even our state plan is soft and timid. “Increase the use of public transport to 10% of metropolitan weekday passenger vehicle kilometres travelled by 2018”. I like the old saying "If you shoot for the stars you might not get there ­ but you are less likely to come up with fists full of mud". At the moment our state plan shoots for the mud. The solution ? We need to re­imagine our network design. As recommended by leading experts we should toss out our current hub (city) and spoke design and design our Network around the very layout that Adelaide is globally famous for ­ our grid. I propose that we create The Adelaide Metro Grid ­ with buses running frequently in a straight line along our major roads, where transfers are presumed and every major intersection becomes a transfer point.
