Construction

Construction will start in December 2026. Ahead of this, some site establishment and preliminary activities are being undertaken to prepare for construction.

We will continue to engage with the community and key stakeholders throughout construction to keep people informed and help minimise impacts.

Construction work areas

Changes to access within the Eastern Park Lands will be required as construction progresses.

Works have been carefully planned to minimise the construction footprint and keep areas of the Park Lands open and accessible wherever it is safe to do so.

Fencing will be installed around construction work areas to safely separate works from public areas.

Construction activity will progressively move between work areas. At times, works may also be required outside these areas, with temporary exclusion zones established as needed to keep everyone safe.

Works will also take place on the surrounding road network. This includes sections of Dequetteville Terrace, Rundle Road, East Terrace, Bartels Road and Wakefield Road. Some temporary road, path and access closures will be required. Where possible, these works will be coordinated to avoid busier periods on the road network.

Advanced notice of key access changes will be provided. There will be detour and wayfinding signage to help road users, pedestrians and cyclists plan their journeys.

Construction will temporarily affect the use of the Adelaide Park Lands, including for sporting and user groups. We are working closely with the City of Adelaide to identify suitable, alternative arrangements where available.
