It is over a decade since there was a comprehensive review of this zoning. This study is a precursor to such a review. It considers Charles Sturt’s industrial land stock through the prism of:- • its broader economic and development policy settings; • the Rezoning Assessment Framework established by the Metropolitan Adelaide Industrial Land Strategy; and • the development planning and other issues arising from this analysis and assessment. Industry’s economic contribution to the city is clearly important and must be protected. It provides both jobs for the local community and export income for the region, and it has the capacity to remain a vital part of the City’s economic make-up for the next generation and beyond. At the same time however, there are other strategic development planning drivers at work, including population policy and the looming shortage of residential land in metropolitan Adelaide over the next decade, which will result in ongoing pressure for new, higher density models of infill development. Some of this pressure will be on existing industrial land. Addressing both sides of this strategic equation will require that decisions about the ongoing role of industry in Charles Sturt’s economic and social fabric be made “on balance”.

  • South Road Upgrade (Torrens Road to River Torrens) Project Report
    South Road Upgrade (Torrens Road to River Torrens) Project Report Introduction What is this report? This document has been prepared to provide an overview of the findings of the South Road Planning Study to upgrade the section from Torrens Road to the River Torrens. The planning study has investigated a broad range of possible options. It has developed and assessed a concept design for the preferred option for this project as the next step in delivering Adelaide’s non‐stop north‐south corridor. This document is intended to inform residents, property owners and businesses, along with the general public, of the State Government’s plans for this significant piece of transport infrastructure. If you have further questions after reading this document, please contact the South Road Planning Study Team via the contact details provided on the last page of this booklet. Why does Adelaide need a North‐South Corridor? Through its Seven Strategic Priorities the South Australian Government has detailed its economic, social and environmental goals. They include creating a vibrant city, safe communities and healthy neighbourhoods, affordable places to live and growing advanced manufacturing. The transport system plays a critical role in achieving these goals. Adelaide’s transport system is, however, facing major challenges over the next 30 years, the most critical of these being the provision of safe and efficient transport options for Adelaide’s residents and businesses. Due to the projected growth of South Australia’s North‐South Corridor economy and population, additional demands will be placed on infrastructure, especially transport infrastructure. South Road is part of the National Land Transport Network through urban Adelaide and is the major north‐south traffic and freight route through Adelaide’s west.

  • Analysis of Infringement Data from Fixed Red Light and Speed Cameras at Signalised Intersections in South Australia
    Analysis of infringement data from fixed red light and speed cameras at signalised intersections in South Australia Mackenzie JRR, Kloeden CN, Hutchinson TP CASR REPORT SERIES CASR071 June 2012 Report documentation REPORT NO. DATE PAGES ISBN ISSN CASR071 June 2012 20 978 1 921645 08 2 1449-2237 TITLE Analysis of infringement data from fixed red light and speed cameras at signalised intersections in South Australia AUTHORS Mackenzie JRR, Kloeden CN, Hutchinson TP PERFORMING ORGANISATION Centre for Automotive Safety Research The University of Adelaide South Australia 5005 AUSTRALIA SPONSORED BY Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure GPO Box 1533 Adelaide SA 5001 AUSTRALIA AVAILABLE FROM Centre for Automotive Safety Research http://casr.adelaide.edu.au/reports ABSTRACT Safety cameras are installed at some signalised intersections in South Australia. They photograph vehicles that enter the intersection after the signal has changed to red, or that exceed the speed limit by more than a selected amount. Infringement data at 21 safety camera sites in metropolitan Adelaide was used to track how disobey red light and speeding infringements changed during the first year of operation. It was found that both speeding and red light running decreased over time after the installation of a safety camera. Red light running decreased slowly over time, while speeding fell more rapidly. For the more serious levels of speeding, there was a more rapid fall in infringements during the first few weeks and a slower decline thereafter. Based on this, safety cameras appear to generate a worthwhile improvement in driver behaviour. The fact that continued reductions are seen during the first year of operation suggests that some learning on the part of drivers is occurring.

    North-South Corridor Regency Road to Pym Street Graphical representation: North-South Corridor (Regency Road to Pym Street) looking south along the non-stop motorway above Regency Road. Project Report Road to Pym Street). What is a project report? The Project Report explains the need for the project and summarises the environmental, social, economic and engineering assessments undertaken during design for the Regency Road to Pym Street Project, part of Adelaide’s North-South Corridor. The report outlines the measures proposed to avoid or minimise the effects of the project identified during design. The Project Report is the next stage of the North–South Corridor (Regency Road to Pym Street) project’s 2 Project Report North-South Corridor The North–South Corridor is one of Adelaide’s most important transport corridors (Figure 1). It is the major route for north and south bound traffic including freight vehicles running between Gawler and Old Noarlunga, a distance of 78 kilometres, and currently comprises seven road links: • Northern Expressway, from Gawler to Port Wakefield Road (opened in 2010); • Northern Connector, from Northern Expressway to Port River Expressway (opening late 2019); • South Road Superway (completed 2014); • Torrens Road to River Torrens (completed 2019); • Torrens River to Darlington; • Darlington Upgrade Project (due for completion 2020); • Southern Expressway, from Darlington to Old Noarlunga (completed 2014). By late 2019, approximately 63 kilometres of the 78 kilometre North–South Corridor will be constructed. With completion of the Darlington Upgrade Project in 2020 this extent will increase by about 3 kilometres to approximately 66 kilometres. The Australian Government continued its decision to support the upgrade the North–South Corridor over the next decade and together with the South Australian Government has committed $354 million to construct the 1.8 kilometre section between Regency Road to Pym Street.

    South Australia’s Freight Transport Infrastructure Moving Freight – Setting a Strategic Framework for the Future March 2006 Executive Summary South Australia’s ability to achieve its maximum growth potential is linked to the timely development of efficient and cost-effective transport infrastructure. In this update to the inaugural South Australia’s Freight Transport Infrastructure: Principles and Project Priorities released last year, the South Australian Freight Council (SAFC) has identified seven projects which, in its view, are urgently required to ensure the State continues to grow – free of costly transport bottlenecks that reduce the State’s competitiveness. The transport initiatives identified by SAFC, with an overall cost in the order of $2.8 to $4.2 billion, comprise the centrepiece of the Council’s submission to the State Government which has been developing a Transport Plan. In the absence of financial support for the projects identified, and given that efficient transport infrastructure is integral to intrastate, interstate and overseas trade, SAFC believes the State Government’s Strategic Plan goal of trebling SA’s exports to $25 billion by 2013 will not be realised. Ensuring the free flow of commercial and private sector transport will also deliver significant environmental and social gains for the community with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions high amongst them. The Council also believes the Commonwealth Government has “short-changed” South Australia over other States, with the lowest per capita payments for new road and rail developments under the Auslink funding program. Our State has many critically-needed projects that should be more appropriately funded under the scheme.
