Notice of Application for Public Space Occupation: Third Street, Second Street & Gibson Street BOWDEN SA 5007

We have received applications from Tandem Building Group and Jaytex Constructions seeking authorisation to temporarily occupy sections of Third Street, Second Street and Gibson Street, Bowden to facilitate construction of two major developments within the Bowden precinct. The proposal includes temporary road, footpath and parking lane closures with associated traffic management to safely undertake the works.

These are large-scale mixed-use developments (13 storeys and 11 storeys) with construction requiring site access, deliveries, logistics and traffic management.

The proposed occupations are:

Tandem Building Group

• Full occupation of Third Street between Gibson Street and Field Lane, including the roadway and both footpaths. Pedestrian access will be maintained alongside Bowden Village Reserve.
• Occupation of the northern traffic lane and northern footpath on Second Street, with pedestrian access maintained via the southern footpath.
• Proposed occupation: September 2026 to October 2028.
• Initial partial occupation of Third Street and Second Street from September 2026 to November 2026.
• Full occupation of Third Street between Gibson Street and Plenty Place, including the roadway and northern footpath, from November 2026 to September 2028.
• Closure of the northern footpath on Gibson Street and the southern footpath on Fourth Street with pedestrian access maintained via signed detours.
  
  

Jaytex Constructions

We have assessed a range of options to balance the safe delivery of these developments with the needs of the community including residents, businesses and visitors.

The proposed arrangement minimises impacts to vehicle and pedestrian access and preserves the majority of established street trees in coordination with other developments in the Bowden precinct. We worked with the applicants to retain as many existing trees as possible, with any trees removed to be replaced following construction.

Temporary occupation of sections of the surrounding road reserve is proposed for related construction activities to ensure safety. The proposed occupation is the minimum reasonably required to safely complete the projects.

During the occupation period:

• Second Street will remain open to one-way traffic.
• Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times through signed and accessible detours.
• Access to Plant 4 Bowden will remain available via:
  • Port Road → Gibson Street; or
  • Park Terrace → Second Street / Fifth Street / Sixth Street → Gibson Street.
• Fourth Street is anticipated to reopen in October 2026
• Fourth Street and Second Street will continue to provide connection between Drayton Street and Gibson Street.
• While on-street parking on sections of Third Street will be temporarily unavailable, alternative on-street parking remains available throughout the surrounding area.

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 closure of the site frontage side of Sweeney Terrace from September 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.
