(2) The land to which the Port River Expressway Project applies is the area of land bounded by the bold black line connecting the coordinate points shown in Figures 2 to 5 in Schedule 2.
The responsibility for carrying out the Port River Expressway Project is assigned to the Commissioner.
Schedule 1—Principal features of Port River Expressway Project
(1) Francis Street will be reconstructed and widened to 4 lanes between Evans Street and Ocean Steamers Road.
(2) A 4-way controlled intersection will be constructed at the junction of Francis Street with the Eastern Bypass to the south and Grand Trunkway Extension to the north, connecting Francis Street to St Vincent Street East, Bedford Street and Eastern Parade.
(1) The Eastern Bypass will be constructed along a disused rail reserve between Francis Street and Bedford Street to enable traffic travelling in a westerly direction along the Expressway to exit the Expressway via the Eastern Bypass and St Vincent Street East.
(2) St Vincent Street East will be reconstructed and the intersection of St Vincent Street, Ocean Steamers Road and St Vincent Street East will be modified to allow continuous movement between St Vincent Street and St Vincent Street East.
(3) Ocean Steamers Road will be severed by approaches to both the new road and rail bridges. Access to Francis Street from Ocean Steamers Road from the north or south will be closed. Local access will be provided to the sheds on Francis Street and businesses on Santo Parade via Ocean Steamers Road (south). A stub on Ocean Steamers Road (south) will provide access to the southern parcel of land adjacent to Dock 1.
(1) Grand Trunkway Extension will be constructed to replace the Ocean Steamers Road link that is to be closed.
(2) A new 4-way controlled intersection will be constructed at the junction of Grand Trunkway, Eastern Parade and Grand Trunkway Extension. Eastern Parade will be realigned south to a position that will enable the existing rail track crossing Eastern Parade to pass through the centre of this new intersection.
(1) A road bridge across the Port River (downriver from the Birkenhead Bridge) will be constructed with minimum clearance above the shipping channel to AHD 10.0 (10 metres above Mean Sea Level) with a nominal 30 metre opening span and fendering for river traffic.
(2) The road bridge works will commence from the former junction of Francis Street and Ocean Steamers Road.
(3) The road bridge western approach will form a T-junction with the extension of Nelson Street (Birkenhead Bridge). West of Nelson Street, the Expressway Road Bridge will connect to the existing Victoria Road.
(4) The junction of Nelson Street and Semaphore Road will be realigned to the east to allow for the connection of Nelson Street to the Expressway. The existing freight rail crossing at Nelson Street will become redundant and be removed.
(1) A bridge/traffic control centre and car park will be built between the road and rail bridges on the east side of the river crossing to provide service for the operation of the 2 bridges.
(3) The following improvements will be required:
(a) improvements to the following junctions:
(i) Ocean Steamers Road and St Vincent Street;
(ii) Bedford Street and Wilkins Road;
(iii) Elder Road and Wills Street;
(iv) Santo Parade and Ocean Steamers Road;
(b) alignment improvements for Wilkins Road adjacent to Heini Becker Park.
Maintenance and operation of the road bridge and its associated works will be carried out after completion of the bridge and associated works.
(1) A new switch will transfer the main rail line to Outer Harbor along the northern boundary of Symons and Clark Transport Pty Ltd.
(2) The track will cross the proposed Grand Trunkway Extension (where a rail crossing will be installed), travel through Incitec Pivot site and cross Ocean Steamers Road.
(3) The structure of the rail bridge across the Port River will begin approximately 100 metres east of Ocean Steamers Road and be constructed with minimum clearance above the shipping channel of AHD 10.0 (10 metres above Mean Sea Level) with a nominal 30 metre opening span and fendering for river traffic.
(4) On the western side of the river, the rail bridge structure will extend to a point approximately where the rail runs parallel to Elder Road.
(5) As a result of the rail track being above the existing surface level of Stirling Street, minor modifications will be required to raise and upgrade the intersection of Stirling Street and Elder Street to provide priority access for road trains to Stirling Street.
(6) An emergency de-railer will be installed in the vicinity of Stirling Street consisting of a length of at grade track parallel to the main rail line. In an emergency situation, a train will run along the length of the de-railer line until stopping in the ground beyond the track. The de-railer will provide the means to avoid an incident occurring on the rail bridge structure, particularly where the bridge crosses the river.
(1) Track modifications to the Port Flat Yard adjacent to the Grand Trunkway will be undertaken consisting of the relocation of turnouts at the entrance of the yard to the north. This will allow trains to shunt in the yard without initiating the level crossing signals on Eastern Parade and interfering with road traffic.
(2) An extension of Kerry Logistics' yard will be required to the north to allow for the modifications at the entrance to Port Flat Yard.
(3) Additional track will be built in Port Flat Yard parallel to the existing track as a replacement for wagon storage currently on the site of the proposed Grand Trunkway Extension.
(4) The eastern leg of the rail triangle will provide access to Port Flat Yard from the main rail line, with the current track to be realigned to obtain maximum operational benefit.
(5) The western leg of the rail triangle linking Outer Harbor to Port Flat Yard will be constructed.
A bridge/traffic control centre will be built between the Road and Rail Bridges on the east side of the river crossing to provide service for the operation of the 2 bridges.
Maintenance and operation of the rail bridge and its associated works will be carried out after completion of the bridge and associated works.
Part 3—Authorisations and declarations for closure of roads and government railway lines and obstruction of navigation
Pursuant to section 39G(1)(b) of the Act, the Commissioner is authorised to permanently close any road that it is necessary to permanently close for the purposes of implementing Stages 2 and 3 of the Project.
Division 2—Permanent closure of government railway lines
11—Permanent closure of particular government railway lines
(1) Pursuant to section 39G(2)(b) of the Act, for the purposes of implementing Stages 2 and 3 of the Project, the Commissioner is authorised—
(a) to permanently limit the use of the government railway lines listed in subregulation (2); or
(b) to permanently close any or all of those government railway lines,
as the case requires.
(2) The government railway lines are—
(a) the rail corridor between Francis Street and Eastern Parade, Port Adelaide; and
(b) (following their transfer from the Australian Rail Track Corporation to the Crown)—
(i) the rail corridor between Signal 1456 (Glanville Station) and Signal 3 (Birkenhead); and
(ii) the rail corridor between Signal 14 (Gillman Junction) and Signal 1155 (Port Adelaide Junction).
12—Permanent obstruction of navigation in Port River
(1) Pursuant to section 39H(2) of the Act—
(a) it is declared that the permanent obstruction of navigation over that area of the Port River bounded by bold black lines in Figures 2 and 3 in Schedule 2 (the
delineated area ) is necessary for the construction and maintenance of the road bridge and rail bridge as part of the implementation of Stages 2 and 3 of the Project; and(b) accordingly, the Commissioner is authorised to permanently obstruct navigation over the delineated area of the Port River.
Figure 1 shows the concept design for Stages 2 and 3 of the Project.
Schedule 2—Land to which Port River Expressway Project applies
Explanation of Coordinates shown in Figures 2 to 5— 1The Coordinate Origin is Permanent Survey Mark S317 (E=50000 N=100000, local in metres) that is located on the southern corner of Victoria Road and Heath Street, Cadastral No 6628/18085.
2The Point Nos and Coordinates shown in Figures 2 to 5 are defined in the table below.
