Main South Road Duplication

528 The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson) (6 December 2018). The original proposal for the Main South Road Duplication—Seaford to Sellicks had a bike path run along Main South Road, can you confirm there will be a bike path or veloway which will run parallel with the duplicate road?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised—

The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure is progressing with the detailed planning required for this project. The planning will provide a better understanding of the timeline and extent of each stage, as well as provide clarity on the treatments with intersecting roads and provisions for pedestrians and cyclists.

Planning will consider the needs of commuter, tourist and recreational cyclists both along and across the corridor. It will also consider the best way to integrate with the existing and aspirational networks developed by the City of Onkaparinga.

Direct liaison with the community will be a strong focus throughout the planning and delivery for this project including the local bicycle users and groups.

At this point in time, the contact for the Main South Road Action Group will be the Manager Infrastructure Planning and Investment, Mr Scott Cooper.
