Development Plan - City of Playford - SA.Gov.au

Peachey Belt
There are significant sewer mains along Stebonheath Road, Petherton Road, Peachey Road,
Edgecombe Road and Womma Road. There are sewer mains around the entire area including rear
of allotment sewer in many areas.
Based on experience in other urban renewal projects in Adelaide the increase in allotments from
this area is unlikely to cause capacity problems. Once a structure plan is developed for the area
SA Water can be consulted on expected demand increases and confirm capacity issues.
5.3.5 Telecommunication and Gas
Telstra and Origin Energy gas services lie throughout the broad hectare areas north of Curtis Road
and are likely to be sufficient to service future development. There is an Optus optic fibre which
runs along the western side of the railway line.
On the northern boundary of the Area Affected is the 450mm diameter SeaGas pipeline. This is
currently north of Fradd Road and is not likely to impact on future development except to the extent
of preventing significant widening of the Fradd Road drainage channel from the Blakeview area.
There are significant underground gas mains and Telstra infrastructure along many of the major
roads and will require careful consideration during design to minimize relocation costs.
Where new roads are to be constructed, Telstra and Origin infrastructure will be underground within
a common service trench.
5.4 Transport Network
5.4.1 Road Network
The Area Affected is serviced by a range of road hierarchies from local residential streets to major
arterial roads.
Figure 5.2 below highlights the main road hierarchies within and surrounding the Area Affected.
The main road hierarchies are further described as follows.
Major Arterial Road:
The primary arterial road servicing the Area Affected is Main North Road. It provides access to the
north to Gawler, Barossa Valley and beyond and south to Elizabeth, Salisbury and the rest of
Metropolitan Adelaide. Volumes on Main North Road accommodates (on a 24hr basis) have been
identified as follows:
• 34,300 vehicles per day (vpd) at Munno Para;
• 38,600 vpd at the intersection of Womma Road;
• 38,100 vpd. Just south of the Curtis/Craigmore/Main North Roads intersection;
• 25,700 vpd at the intersection of Smith/Dalkeith and Main North Road.
The status of this road is expected to remain even with the construction of the Northern
Expressway (NEXY).
Minor Arterial
The Area Affected is currently serviced by one minor arterial road being Womma Road. Womma
Road accommodates between 6000 vpd at the intersection of Stebonheath Road and 9000 vpd at
the intersection of the Gawler – Adelaide train line.
Major Collector
Three major Collector Roads service the Area Affected being Curtis Road, Peachey Road and
Craigmore Road.
