The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters is working towards improving the safety and amenity of our streets, encouraging sustainable transport and improving community well-being.
In May 2022, the Council conducted consultation in the suburbs of Glynde, Payneham, Payneham South, Firle, Trinity Gardens and St Morris to seek community views on traffic safety and movement issues in these suburbs.
The consultation feedback has been summarised and overlaid with an evidence-based framework to develop a Draft Action Plan that includes proposed traffic management and safety solutions.

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.

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.
