The Rural City of Murray Bridge is undertaking the Sunnyside Road Consultation to seek community feedback on the preferred management option for the access road.
General Manager Infrastructure and Environment Thuyen Vi-Alternetti said “There are quite a few residents and property owners in the Sunnyside area and the Council is hoping to engage as many as possible to ensure we have strong community representation on this matter,” she said.
“Sunnyside Road is significantly impacted when it rains and the residents asked us to address this as a priority through a petition.
“We’ve taken a detailed look at it with a targeted feasibility study and believe we have found an ideal solution.”
The Council’s preferred option includes:
- Sunnyside Road remains unsealed
- 5% crossfall (maximum allowed for a road of this type)
- 3m single lane with 0.5m unsealed shoulder
- 0.3m swale on western side (copes with a 5 year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) event)
- Two passing bays near mid-length of road (increase road with to 6m wide for 10m with a 10m transition at start and end)
Public consultation opens today and will close 5pm Friday 2 February 2024.
The Sunnyside Road consultation documents and feedback form are available on Council’s consultation portal letstalk.sa.gov.au, and paper copies can be found at the Local Government Centre and the Murray Bridge Library.
