Traffic Study: Glynde, Payneham, Payneham South, Firle, Trinity Gardens and St Morris - Stage 2
29/08/2022
Consultation survey closed 5pm, Monday 29 August 2022.
Consultation outcomes and Final Traffic Study Report
In 2022, the Council engaged consultants to undertake a traffic study of the area bound by Payneham Road, Portrush Road, Magill Road and Glynburn Road (the precinct), which includes the suburbs of Glynde, Payneham, Payneham South, Firle, Trinity Gardens and St Morris.
The traffic study included a Have Your Say! campaign for people who live, work, study in the precinct. We heard from more than 250 citizens and other community members about their concerns regarding car travel (safety, speed and volume), as well as concerns relating to walking, cycling and bus travel in and around the precinct.
The community feedback was analysed and correlated with evidence-based traffic data to develop a Draft Action Plan. The Plan prioritised a list of traffic management measures in order of importance to enable the Council to strategically plan and allocate funding.
A second Have Your Say! campaign was held to provide an opportunity for citizens to review and comment on the Draft Action Plan and recommendations, which helped inform the final traffic study report.
Download: Traffic Study: Glynde, Payneham, Firle, Trinity Gardens & St Morris
The majority of the community supported a speed limit of 40km/h throughout the precinct as well as the installation of traffic calming measures at key locations.
Next steps:
- A 40km/h speed limit will be implemented in every residential street in Glynde, Payneham, Payneham South, Firle, Trinity Gardens and St Morris early in 2024. Citizens will be informed of the timing via a letterbox drop and social media.
- Concept designs for the prioritised traffic management measures will be prepared late 2023 or early 2024. The measures will range from minor installations (signs, pavement marking, pavement bar layouts), to major devices (roundabouts, slow points, raised intersections, driveway links, landscaped islands and pedestrian refuges). The community will be invited to provide comment on the concept designs in the first half of 2024.

Lighting at Otto Park, St Peters
02/06/2022
Consultation closed: 5pm, Friday 24 June.
As Otto Park is designated as an off-leash area for dogs, lighting can extend the time that residents and dogs can safely use the park in the evening, particularly in winter.
The proposed lighting of Otto Park is designed to Australian Standards and complies with requirements to minimise light spillage into adjacent properties.
The lighting design proposes five LED luminaries along the north and south perimeters of the park.
The technology includes a photoelectric cell to turn off the lights in daylight as well as a timer to turn off the lights at a designated time (e.g. 9pm in winter and 10pm in summer).
To assist in the consultation process, the Council wants to know if you would prefer the lighting in Otto Park or for it to remain as is, without the additional lighting.

Play equipment at Manning Reserve, Norwood
04/05/2022
Consultation closed 5pm, Monday 23 May.
The Council is seeking your input in relation to the installation of children’s play equipment at Manning Reserve, in Fisher Street, Norwood.
There are currently three pieces of play equipment – a slide, spring rocker and a spinning pole - in the Reserve
The Council recently received a petition also calling for the inclusion of a swing set.
Due to the small size of the Reserve, the installation of a swing set would require the removal of either the slide or the spring rocker and the spinning pole.

Marden & Royston Park Traffic Management
29/04/2022
Consultation closed 5pm, Friday, 29 April 2022.
Consultation outcomes
In 2022, the Council engaged consultants to undertake a traffic management plan to address traffic and road safety concerns raised by citizens, regarding high traffic speed and cut-through traffic in some streets in Marden and Royston Park.
A range of traffic management alternatives were developed and the community were invited to review these options and provide the Council with their comments.
The options ranged from road closures that would eliminate cut-through traffic to measures that moderated speed and discouraged cut-through traffic. In addition, the community were asked if they would support a 40km/h speed limit in the area.
More than 400 citizens participated in the Have Your Say! campaign and the majority of participants supported a 40km/h speed limit, as well as traffic management devices such as landscaped medians, slow points and pedestrian islands. Road closures were not supported by the majority of respondents.
Download: Traffic Management in Marden and Royston Park – Community Consultation and Recommendations Report
The recommendations for management are based on sound technical principles to reduce traffic speeds and discourage non-local through traffic, while also improving the streetscape, residential amenity and safety for all road users.
Next steps:
- Community consultation for a 40km/h speed limit will be undertaken in 2023, for the entire precinct bound by OG Road, Payneham Road, Hackney Road and the River Torrens. This includes Marden, Royston Park, Joslin, St Peters, College Park and Hackney (excluding the State Government roads which are Lower Portrush Road and Stephen Terrace).
If the majority of citizens in this precinct support this initiative, a 40km/h speed limit will be implemented in 2024, subject to funding allocated by the Council. The community will be notified prior to the installation of the 40km/h signs.
- Traffic management devices have been prioritised and the Stage 1 recommendations include landscaped medians, islands that create slow points and pedestrian crossing improvements in Marden, between Lower Portrush Road and Battams Road.
Concept designs of these measures are currently being prepared, and the community will be invited to provide comment prior to finalisation of the designs. It is anticipated that consultation will occur late in 2023 or early in 2024.

Norwood Parade Precinct Consultation
07/04/2021
Consultation closes 5pm Wednesday 28 April 2021
The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters is seeking comments from The Parade, Norwood business community on the:
- proposal to continue the Separate Rate applied to Parade commercial properties for the next three financial years
- Draft 2021-2022 Parade Precinct Annual Business Plan.
Continuation of Separate Rate
The Separate Rate enables the Council to raise sufficient revenue to ensure high impact marketing and promotional programs for The Parade, whilst minimising the impact on individual ratepayers who will experience the benefits of these program through increased patronage.
The Council is proposing that the Separate Rate be set at $215,000 for the 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 financial years to assist with marketing, promotion and development of The Parade as one of Adelaide’s premier destination precincts.
This Separate Rate model for The Parade has been designed to ensure that The Parade remains viable in an increasingly competitive market, whilst bearing in mind the additional cost to the property owners and businesses.
The Parade Separate Rate was not collected for the 2020-2021 financial year due to the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The budget normally generated by the collection of the Separate Rate was instead funded by the Council to enable to the marketing and promotion of The Parade to continue.
