Notice of Application for Public Space Occupation of Tawu Lane and Karra Avenue SEATON SA 5023.

We have received an application from Bradford Projects seeking authorisation to temporarily occupy Tawu Lane and a portion of Karra Avenue footpath to facilitate construction of seven new dwellings on Karra Avenue SEATON SA 5023 until August 2027.

  • Full occupation of Tawu Lane for up to 12 months to accommodate site amenities, material storage, deliveries and construction laydown.
  • Partial occupation of the Karra Avenue footpath for up to 9 months to accommodate scaffolding during roof and upper-level cladding works, while maintaining pedestrian access.

The development occupies approximately 85% of the site, leaving limited space within the property boundary for construction activities. The applicant has demonstrated that without the proposed occupation, the works may require frequent short-term road occupations, resulting in increased safety risks, construction delays and greater disruption to local traffic, nearby schools and residents.

Details can be found on Council’s consultation website www.yoursaycharlessturt.com.au, where written public comments are invited.

Please provide comments on the proposed application by 5:00pm Thursday, 27 August 2026 via www.yoursaycharlessturt.com.au, or email to community.safety@charlessturt.sa.gov.au

Following the consultation period a decision relating to these permit applications will be published the YourSay website.

Notice of Application for Public Space Occupation – Sweeney Terrace, Bristol Lane and Todville Street, WOODVILLE WEST.

The City of Charles Sturt has received an application from Built MG Pty Ltd seeking authorisation to occupy portions of Sweeney Terrace, Bristol Lane and Todville Street, Woodville West to facilitate construction of the new Junction and Women's Housing Ltd / Civecon Developments Affordable Apartments at 15 Todville Street, Woodville West.

To maintain public safety and minimise risks to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, Built MG Pty Ltd has been granted a short-term authorisation to occupy the affected public spaces while the City of Charles Sturt undertakes consultation on the longer-term occupation request. This interim arrangement ensures appropriate traffic management and safety measures remain in place throughout the consultation period and until a final decision is made.

The proposed occupation is expected to remain in place until February 2027 and includes the following:

  • Full-time partial closure of the site frontage side of Sweeney Terrace from July 2026 until February 2027.
  • Intermittent short-term closures of Bristol Lane during major precast concrete panel and structural steel lifts. Access for waste truck vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.
  • Continuation of the existing occupation of the eastern footpath on Todville Street and the southern footpath on Sweeney Terrace, currently authorised under an existing Public Space Occupation Permit until February 2027.

Due to the constrained nature of the development site, the proposed occupation is required to safely facilitate crane operations, material deliveries and construction activities that cannot be accommodated entirely within the site while maintaining compliance with workplace safety, traffic management and public safety requirements.

These temporary closures and traffic management measures are required to ensure the safety of construction workers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists while works are undertaken.

Pedestrians and vehicles will be safely detoured around the site using approved traffic management arrangements. Proposed Traffic Management Plans are provided on the following pages.

Please note that the traffic management arrangements shown are indicative only and may be amended throughout the project to meet operational requirements, safety considerations and relevant standards.

Access for emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Details can be found on Council’s consultation website www.yoursaycharlessturt.com.au, where written public comments are invited.

Please provide any comments on the proposed application by 5:00pm Tuesday, 11 August 2026 via www.yoursaycharlessturt.com.au, or email to community.safety@charlessturt.sa.gov.au

Following the consultation period a decision relating to these permit applications will be published the YourSay website.
