With only one more weekend before Christmas, I thought it would be a great time to share some of the achievements that have occurred at the Oaklands Crossing Project over the last few, very busy, months. 

Since October we have seen the second traffic switch occur, the installation of the nine “Super-T” beams and deck pour for the eastern side of the Morphett Road Bridge.  This means that in the New Year, the project team will be full steam ahead excavating under the bridge ready for the new railway track.  

On 12 December 2018 I had the privilege of hosting a 90th Birthday Afternoon Tea with my colleague, the Hon David Speirs MP, to celebrating the life of our amazing locals who turned 90 in 2018!

On 14 December 2018 I was honoured to represent the Premier at the official opening of the new Vietnam Veterans Federation headquarters at Marion.

At the last election I made several key commitments to the electorate of Gibson.

I am proud to say that the following election promises have been delivered for our local community:

• Bowker Street
• Hamilton Reserve
• Crown Street

I can’t believe it’s that time of the year again!  I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to share what is happening in our local community and I look forward to keeping you up to date with what is going on in our local area in 2019.

Wishing you all a happy and safe Christmas and New Year and thank you for your continued support.

Works have continued at the Oaklands Crossing Project over the past couple of months.  Whilst this has caused some traffic delays, we appreciate everyone’s patience in navigating the work zone safely. 

December 2018 Night Works

Night works will continue throughout December as a number of key activities are undertaken.  These include the installation of underground traffic signals, road lighting conduit installations, underground power connections, stobie pole removals and SA Water asset investigation works.  Stockpile zones will also be set up at different locations on site for construction crews to access.
