CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY

Over the past 27 years,Australians have devoted more than

32 million hours towards the environment through Clean

Up Australia Day and collected over 344 thousand tonnes of

rubbish.

This year Cleanaway Adelaide, a waste management and

recycling company, is organising a clean-up for its staff members

along with Council staff at Biodiversity Park, located on the

western corner of Victoria Road and Pelican Point Road

Osborne.

Biodiversity Park site is primarily used for the conservation and

enhancement of biodiversity, including fauna and flora species

and sustained habitats, with walking and bicycling paths.

The clean up is on in early March 2018 and anyone can

participate in a number of activities either by joining or donating

towards a clean up event at various locations throughout South

Australia.

No one is too small to make a difference that will have a long

term positive impact.

CAUSEWAY ROAD SHARED PATH

Work is scheduled to start this month on a shared use path

for pedestrians and cyclists along Causeway Road between

Semaphore Road and Bower Road.

It’s a busy part of our City, being close to Lefevre Peninsula

Primary School, Portside Christian College and the Ethelton

and Glanville Railway stations. Causeway Road provides a major

transport link and carries around 13,000 vehicles daily.

The shared use path will make it safer and easier for people to

enjoy a short stroll or ride to the attractions on Semaphore

Road or to the Port Hike and Bike Loop Path.The work includes

upgrading of the older shared use path near Bower Road and

will connect to the existing section of path near Ethelton Station.

The shared path will improve public safety and amenity and

reduce the likelihood of crashes by providing an alternative and

safe route for both pedestrians and cyclists.The off road path is

being installed with the support of the State Government and

the backing of the Port Adelaide Bicycle Users Group.

In 2015 we released our Local Area Bicycle Plan and we are

always considering ways to make it easier to get around by bike

and to promote our City as a destination for cycling through the

installation and maintenance of bike paths.The Causeway Road

shared use path is just one of the new projects being delivered

as part of Council’s Bike Plan.
