Kicking off the World Cup 2023!
In March 2021, we received $1.75 million in funding from the Local Government Infrastructure Partnership Program (LGIPP) to go towards the Hindmarsh Precinct Upgrade Project.
This project included the upgrade of street infrastructure in the Hindmarsh Precinct in preparation for the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023 and the scheduled Hindmarsh Stadium upgrade.
The scope of the project included;
- Holden Street road reconstruction and streetscape upgrade (from Manton Street to Adam Street)
- Milner Street and Mary Street streetscape improvements
- Construction of a raised intersection at the intersection of Orsmond Street and Crawford Lane
- Construction of an upgraded footpath and landscaping improvements in the Port Road median from Chief Street to East Street
- Streetscape upgrades of West Street and East Street
- Public artwork at key nodes and destinations
The project has improved amenity, tree canopy coverage, landscaping, infrastructure, road safety and improved strategic connections to the precinct for all transport users, particularly for those using sustainable transport modes such as public transport (train, tram and bus users), walking and cycling.
The project has supported existing bricks and mortar businesses by providing opportunities to expand their offerings and thrive through more flexible use of public road assets and improve the arrival experience to the precinct for visitors.
For information on the background of the project, including feedback from consultation and designs, please visit our dedicated community engagement website - Your Say Charles Sturt.
