BACKGROUND
The development of the new Connector Road is a key component of the Marion South Plan as it will provide enhanced access to retail, civic and educational facilities and improve public transport as well as pedestrian and cycle access. Also, the road is integral to the proposed redevelopment of the Hallett Cove Shopping Centre and adjacent housing development by the private sector.
The $12.9 million project includes $4.45m from the Commonwealth Government’s Road to Recovery 2 program, $3.5m (plus land) from the State Government, $1.45m from the private sector (Makris Group and Oakford Homes) and $3.5m of council funds.
The tender process for the construction of the Connector Road is the culmination of the collective efforts of the City of Marion, Federal and State Governments and the private sector to secure the project. Built Environs was the preferred tenderer for Council after a competetive tender process.
