Council Briefings and Public Governance

The City of Adelaide has scheduled a CEO Briefing for Tuesday, 3 March 2026, commencing at 5:30 pm. Held in the Colonel Light Room at the Adelaide Town Hall, the session will focus on the 2026 Election Legislative Reforms. This briefing is part of the city's preparation for the upcoming local government periodic elections, following the recent release of the official timetable by the Electoral Commission of South Australia (ECSA). Residents are advised that these sessions provide essential oversight as the council transitions into the next election cycle.

In addition to governance updates, the City of Adelaide is currently reviewing the 'Park Safe' mobile parking enforcement system. This follows an increase in community feedback regarding the automated camera-mounted vehicles used in North Adelaide and the CBD. While the system remains active, council members are exploring measures to ensure the notification process is more timely and transparent for local drivers.

Adelaide Metro Transit Disruptions

Commuters should be aware of several scheduled service disruptions taking effect or continuing on Tuesday, 3 March 2026. Adelaide Metro has confirmed the following specific stop closures:

  • Stop 8 Hawker Street: Closed for the duration of Tuesday, 3 March.
  • Stop 28A Shepherds Hill Road: Closed for the duration of Tuesday, 3 March.
  • Stop 7 South Road (East Side): Remains closed as part of ongoing works through Wednesday, 4 March.

Passengers using these routes are encouraged to locate the nearest alternative stops. Despite these localized disruptions, all tram lines—including the Adelaide to Glenelg service—are now fully operational following the completion of recent maintenance. For real-time updates, commuters may contact the Adelaide Metro InfoLine.

Major Roadworks and Infrastructure

Significant road closures remain in place due to the UniSA February/March graduation ceremonies. Hindley Street, specifically the section between Liverpool Street and Clarendon Street, is closed to all vehicle traffic until 4 March 2026. Motorists should anticipate delays in the West End and utilize North Terrace or Currie Street as alternatives.

Regional commuters should also note that Torrens Valley Road, between Cuddlee Creek and Gumeracha, is subject to night works as part of the Adelaide Hills Productivity and Road Safety Package. Temporary closures will be in place between 7:30 pm and 6:00 am. During daylight hours, speed and lane restrictions apply throughout the work area. These safety upgrades, including major asphalting, are expected to continue through mid-March.

Public Health Advisory: Measles Vigilance

SA Health continues to urge public vigilance following an increase in measles notifications across the state in early 2026. Health authorities have noted a decline in early childhood vaccination rates, which has now fallen below the herd immunity threshold. Residents are advised to monitor for symptoms, including high fever, cough, runny nose, and a blotchy rash that typically begins on the head. Free MMR boosters remain available for South Australians born during or after 1966 who have not received two documented doses.
