Springbank Road

During the 2022 State Election, I promised that if elected, a Malinauskas Labor Government would produce a report on Springbank Road.

In February 2023, the Springbank Road Traffic Safety and Access Report was completed and published for community consultation. A copy of the report can be viewed here

To ensure local residents could have their say on the report, Catherine Hutchesson MP (who represents the neighbouring electorate of Waite which includes the eastern end of Springbank Road) and I hosted multiple community meetings with the Department for Infrastructure and Transport.

Following the community consultation, the Department published their outcomes report which can be viewed here

In response to the community’s feedback, the Department recommended the installation of an additional signalised pedestrian actuated (push button) crossing (PAC) on Springbank Road between Eliza Place and Daniels Road.

The Department also installed Keep Clear Pavement Marking on Springbank Road at its intersection with Eliza Place in January 2024 to give more Panorama residents access to a right-hand turn onto Springbank Road during busier periods.

With the support of local residents throughout 2024, we successfully secured funding in 2025 for the installation of this PAC as part of the Road Safety Program - a $168 million program jointly funded by the Federal (50%) and State (50%) Governments over three years.

Construction of the crossing is anticipated to start in September 2025.
