The State Government has started a detailed planning study to determine the best solution for the nine kilometre section of South Road between the South Road Superway currently under construction and completed Gallipoli Underpass.

This planning study work began in February 2011 and is expected to take two years to complete. When completed, the study will release a Project Assessment Report identifying a preferred option for a free flowing corridor from the north of Anzac Highway to Regency Park. The study will enable the State Government to make a submission for grants funding to the Australian Government, as South Road is part of the National Land Transport Network, and for consideration by Infrastructure Australia.

Community feedback is vital to the planning study. A range of issues need to be considered and information will be collected from the businesses, residents and communities that use this section of South Road.  Community feedback  will inform development of concepts for the efficient movement of people and goods during construction of the corridor and when this upgraded section of South Road is completed.

Consultation activities for community and stakeholder involvement will include:

• individual interviews and meetings with key stakeholder groups
• council briefings
• website information, including feedback options
• production and wide distribution of information about the study and seeking registrations of interest
• localised media

Information gathered from the community, local council and stakeholders through consultation activities will help the project team understand the key issues and inform the Project Assessment Report.
