Departmental media releases

One of South Australia’s most notorious traffic bottlenecks has seen vastly improved flow, with weekend monitoring of vehicles using the $124.5 million overpass and newly duplicated Port Wakefield Highway showing what a difference the finished project will make.

Three highly experienced women have been appointed to the Outback Communities Authority, including as Presiding Member, to provide leadership and shape the lives of South Australians living in the outback.

Why did the echidna cross the train tracks? We’re not sure either.

Effective immediately, South Australians affected by the recent Optus data breach will be able to apply for a replacement licence online via their mySAGOV account - without having to attend a Service SA Centre.

Construction of new overtaking lanes and upgraded rest areas as part of the Sturt Highway Upgrade will start this week.

A ‘pocket park’ will be created on the corner of Da Costa Avenue and Main North Road, returning open green space to the community adjacent the ‘Scotty’s Corner’ intersection of Nottage Terrace and Main North Road.

Port Lincoln community members are being invited to have their say on the concept designs for four intersection upgrades planned along the town’s main street.

More than 21,000 motorists each day are benefitting from the upgrade of Flagstaff Road, with two lanes of traffic now operating in both directions between Hyland Avenue and Bonneyview Road.

The Sturt Highway will be temporarily closed near Paringa with detours in place to facilitate repair works on the Paringa Causeway Bridge (the bridge closest to Renmark), from 5am on Monday, 17 October 2022, for approximately two weeks.

The updated alignment for the Sturt Highway bypass around Truro, developed following consultation with the local community, has now been released.
