Magill Road Redevelopment Project

On Saturday 3 December we were delighted to celebrate the official opening of the completed Magill Village Project, which has seen a wide range of improvements installed within the precinct. This project involved collaboration across all three tiers of government, as well as cooperation between the City of Burnside and Campbelltown City Council, with $2 million in Federal Government funding and $5.75 million in State Government funding.

This redevelopment has delivered a safer and more accessible streetscape with additional pedestrian crossings, improved cycling lanes and disability access compliant footpaths, as well as new paving, landscaping, public art and bespoke street furniture. Environmental sustainability has also been front of mind, with 68 new trees and water sensitive urban design features installed.

All of these features combine to create a unique and inviting identity for the precinct which we hope you will enjoy exploring. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this project to life, we are so proud of the final outcome and invite you to visit this summer!

Multiple public verge plants on Magill Road have been stolen over the past weeks. These plants were recently installed as part of the Magill Village Project, with a variety of species planted to re-invigorate the streetscape, provide shade cover as well as habitat for local fauna.

If you have any information which can assist Council in this matter, please call the City of Burnside on 8366 4200.

Works are nearing completion on the Magill Village Project.

Landscaping is well underway and it is expected that the majority of road works will be completed by the end of September 2022. Some construction work will still continue into October and potentially November such as:

• remaining soft landscaping.
• edging garden beds.
• installing bus shelters, bike racks, bins, an EV charger, fencing in some locations and a screen for the transformer located adjacent Pepper Street.

Other locations of work that will be underway after September include those detailed in the images below (NB that all work is completed on Magill Road between Rosedale Place and Carey Street).

On Magill Road between Carey Street and Penfold Road/St Bernard Road, work will continue in seven locations:

1. New shopping centre signage to be installed.
2. Soil retaining work.
3. Complete driveway crossover.
4. Work on the verge and footpath.
5. Complete the western access area at Pepper Street Art Centre.
6. Landscaping and paving to complete the Pepper Street Art Centre frontage.
7. Construction of additional customer car parks behind Hines Hardware.

On Magill Road between Penfold Road/St Bernard Road and Park Street, work will continue in three further locations:

1. Footpath paving on the Tower Hotel corner.
2. Paving and constructing retaining walls on the Magill Primary School corner.
3. Completing two driveway crossovers opposite Park Street.

** UPDATE 3 August 2022 **

SA Water have completed their emergency remedial works on Magill Road. The road is now re-opened to traffic. SA Water will return to Magill Road to complete some “tidy up” work but the disruptions are not expected to be as significant as the initial repair works.

2 August 2022

SA Water have closed westbound lanes on Magill Road between Penfold Road and Rowland Road to undertake sewer main repairs. Eastbound lanes remain open with speed restrictions in place.

The duration for the completion of these SA Water works is unknown at this stage, therefore there is the potential that these works could impact the construction schedule of the Magill Village Project as Council's construction team have been requested to cease work until the sewer main has been repaired.

It is important to note that the cause of these problems is nothing to do with the Magill Village Project and is entirely related to SA Water’s infrastructure.

For further enquiries on these works, please contact SA Water on 1300 729 283 or email customercare@sawater.com.au

It was our great pleasure to host Year 6 students from St Joseph's School alongside Campbelltown City Council to install dozens of new street plants as part of the Magill Village Project. The students made a great contribution which will look stunning as the plants grow over the coming years.

In March 2022 the Design Report, that features the refined detailed design, was updated. The report brings together:

• Urban design
• Landscape architecture
• Urban furniture design
• Civil engineering
• Service engineering
• Building surveying
• Traffic planning.

Within the document you will see that the Magill Road has been divided into three typologies - Village Heart, Residential and Light Industrial - and features the treatments for each of these areas.

Read the report in the Document Library.

On Monday 10 January 2022, Camco SA initiated streetscape works on Magill Road. The initial works undertaken was the installation of a new stormwater drain, which was completed in mid-February 2022.

On Friday 12 November 2021, the City of Burnside, Campbelltown City Council, James Stevens MP, Vincent Tarzia MP and John Gardner MP officially turned the sod on the Magill Road Redevelopment Project outside Pepper Street Arts Centre. This marked the official commencement of the project, with Camco SA formally announced as the construction contractor for the works.

Ahead of construction of the Magill Village Project, the City of Burnside and Campbelltown City Council installed 55 parking sensors on Magill Road in August 2021. These sensors allow both Councils to gather data on the number of vehicles parking within the Magill Village precinct and how long for, with the data to be used when considering the potential impacts of works throughout 2022.

The data will also be used to understand the current demand for on-street parking, so that future parking arrangements can meet demand.
