Coast to Coast Light Rail - City West to Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

In this year’s State Budget the Government announced the biggest single investment ever in Adelaide’s public transport system. This investment will deliver initiatives to transform Adelaide’s network into a vibrant, state of the art system, providing faster, cleaner, more frequent and efficient services for train, tram and bus commuters. As part of this plan to revitalise the public transport network, the highly successful tramline extension will be further developed to provide a coast to coast service, running from Glenelg through the city, to West Lakes and through the heart of Port Adelaide through to Semaphore.

The first step in improving tram services in Adelaide was the Victoria Square to City West tramline extension. The next step is to take the tramline another 2.5 km along North Terrace onto Port Road to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre before linking it with the Outer Harbor rail line.  A ‘park and ride’ facility will also be provided using the existing Adelaide Entertainment Centre car park, with the centre itself to receive a $50 million makeover.

The exact alignment of the tram corridor is yet to be determined and will be based on engineering, geotechnical, vegetation, environmental, access, traffic and other relevant investigations which will continue in coming months. Consultation with a wide range of stakeholders including local businesses, residents and community facilities, key industry groups, local government, State Government agencies, public transport commuters and the general public will be undertaken as part of this project.  Feedback received will be used to identify issues of concern and interest, in addition to informing the design process. Opportunities to make formal comment will be widely publicised as the project moves forward. However, you can make a comment or enquiry at any time by contacting the Project Information line on 1800 726 500 or by filling in an Enquiry form.
