Adelaide Hills Productivity and Road Safety Package
About the project
We are delivering the Adelaide Hills Productivity and Road Safety (PRS) Package, which aims to upgrade some of the region’s key strategic arterial roads. The $150 million initiative, jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments (80:20) over five years, includes a range of road improvements to support economic growth, improve road safety and increase fire resilience in the Adelaide Hills area.
Once the planning and prioritisation for works to be delivered through the Adelaide Hills PRS Package are completed, the Department will provide updates to the community once available. Works may include pavement works, road widening, easing of tight curves, shoulder sealing, Audio Tactile Line Marking, safety barrier installation, minor junction upgrades and vegetation management.
The Adelaide Hills PRS Package comprises the following corridors and junctions:
- Main Road, Cherry Gardens – Black Road to Chandlers Hill Road (Election Commitment)
- Main Road – Edgecumbe Parade, Blackwood to Black Road, Coromandel Valley
- Kangarilla Road/Dashwood Gully Road – Clarendon to Meadows
- North East Road/Torrens Valley Road – Houghton to Mount Pleasant
- Norton Summit Road/Lobethal Road/Mount Torrens Road – Teringie to Mount Torrens
- Mount Barker Road/Strathalbyn Road – Stirling to Strathalbyn
- Onkaparinga Valley Road – Birdwood to Verdun
- Long Valley Road – Wistow to Strathalbyn
- Intersection of Onkaparinga Valley Road, Nairne Road and Junction Road, Balhannah
- Junction of Junction Road and Jones Road and the rail crossing, Balhannah

Previous engagement
In October 2022 we sought feedback from the community about Main Road, Cherry Gardens. Then during November and December 2022, feedback was sought on the remainder of the Adelaide Hills PRS package, alongside the broader engagement for the Mount Barker and Adelaide Hills Transport Area Study.
The engagement focused on listening, learning and gathering local insights on current experiences travelling along the key corridors and throughout the region. We received valuable feedback across face-to-face sessions, surveys, emails and online submissions.
The local insights received in late 2022 are now being used to inform designs for safety upgrades across the Adelaide Hills PRS Package corridors. As these proposed designs progress we will share them with the community for feedback.
