West Beach Road Upgrade

62 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (25 June 2014). Is the state government planning to help fund the upgrade of West Beach Road?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development): I have been advised of the following:

West Beach Road comes under the care, control and management of both the Cities of Charles Sturt and West Torrens.

The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure has met with representatives from the Cities of Charles Sturt and West Torrens to discuss traffic and parking management on West Beach Road. The City of West Torrens, as the lead authority, along with the City of Charles Sturt, Adelaide Shores and Adelaide Airport have developed four road layout options for West Beach Road which consider improvements to parking, traffic management, pedestrian and cycling facilities, and landscaping.

Although the South Australian government has provided assistance in facilitating discussions regarding West Beach Road, it has no plans to provide funding for an upgrade of this council road.
