Please follow directions and diversions as marked on signs – noting the access will change as work progresses to subsequent stages.

 

Car park 4 works

Starting on Tuesday 9 December and continuing to Thursday 18 December, fallen branches and dry matter is being removed from around car park 4 on Humanities Road. Access to parking bays will be maintained. This will help reduce the bushfire risk this summer. Please observe reduced speeds as marked on signage and stay out of work zones.

Reminder – bus stop refurbishment

If you commute to/from university and use bus stop 26A on University Drive (opposite Sturt Drive), note the bus stop is having a facelift from this week – including painting, cleaning, re-roofing and installation of new safety glass. The stop is now fenced off and unavailable, but Adelaide Metro has set up temporary stops right next door. Look out for signage onsite.
