Under Section 223 of the Local Government Act (SA) 1999, City of Port Adelaide has a legislative requirement to consult the public if it proposes to grant an authorisation or permit for works 'that would result in any part of a road being fenced, enclosed or partitioned so as to impede the passage of traffic to a material degree'.

The reasons for temporary closure varies but it is often to enable construction equipment (e.g. a crane) or vehicles (e.g. a cement truck) to use part of the road or footpath to aid construction works occurring on adjoining private land.

Applications are open for a period of 21 business days to enable submissions to be made to Council which will be considered under delegation by the Transport Team as part of the assessment of the application.

Please note works completed by or on behalf of utilities are completed under the relevant utilities legislation and are not required to obtain an authorisation from Council and therefore exempt from Section 223 of the Local Government Act (SA) 1999.

Partek Construction and Interiors have been appointed as the builder for the new Mt Carmel Secondary College Learning Centre at 5 – 9 Mabel Street, Rosewater which is situated on the southern side of Miles Street opposite the existing campus (existing car park).

The approved learning centre is to be constructed above the existing ground level car parking area. This development will maintain an undercroft space which will continue to be used as a car parking area.

To facilitate the construction while maintaining a safe environment for the public, students and workers, a full closure of Miles Street between John Street and the bend adjacent #16 Miles Street will be implemented. Miles Street between Newcastle Street and the closure will be accessible to local traffic.

The temporary road closure of Miles Street between Johns Street and the perimeter of Mt Carmel College, will be implemented from November 2024 to December 2025.
