This project is not open for feedback. We’re simply informing the community about the upcoming works.

We are reconstructing Malpas Road, Tatachilla to address significant pavement and seal defects, including shape deformation, potholes, and edge breaks. These works are required to prevent further deterioration of the pavement layers and ensure the road remains fit for purpose.

Works are supported by a $930,000 grant from the Special Local Roads Program (SLRP).

Detailed design was completed and works commenced on site in early March.

To minimise inconvenience, roadworks were scheduled to follow the completion of projects in the area by the Fleurieu Connections Alliance and SA Water. This coordination was to limit disruption and reduce impacts on traffic.

These works may require short-term lane closures, follow this page to be kept updated with specific timings and details about traffic management measures during the works.

What you need to know:
  • Extent of works: You can view the scope in the Extent of Works Plan.
  • Timing: The works currently underway and are anticipated to be completed by June 2025, depending on weather and unforeseen delays.
  • Detours: Most work will be undertaken with lane closures only, however, closures and detours will at times be required. See below for updates on road closures. Access will be available for emergency service vehicles under the care of traffic management operators as required. During the road closures, directly affected residents with specific needs will be accommodated for as best as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve the safety and quality of your roads.
