SMITHFIELD RAILWAY STATION

In reply to the Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (10 September 2008).

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs): The Smithfield Railway Station car park and the local roads surrounding it, including Anderson Walk, come under the care, control and management of the City of Playford. Any local traffic management scheme designed to reduce congestion is a matter for council to consider in the first instance.

The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) understands that council is reviewing the road configuration as part of a proposed project to expand the parking facilities. DTEI is happy to offer its advice to assist council in developing its traffic management strategies and I have asked DTEI to contact the council in this regard.
