Consultation has now concluded

This consultation is now closed

Council received 3 responses to this consultation and a report will go to Council once a newly elected Council has been established. This will likely be early 2023.

In accordance with section 10 of the Roads (Opening & Closing) Act, 1991, Adelaide Hills Council proposes to make a Road Process Order to close a portion of the public road adjacent to 474B Springhead Road, Mount Torrens.

The adjoining landowner has approached Council to purchase the portion of public road.

The land owner plans to utilise the land for grazing of livestock from their adjoining land parcel, together with storage shed and ancillary storage associated with farming operations, and preserving the biodiversity of the area. This property was surrounded by the Cudlee Creek Fire in 2019 and the land owners have since been proactive with their approach to native regeneration and management of the natural integrity of the site.

The land owners currently hold a permit to occupy and maintain the road land for their property access, together with fire hazard reduction and vegetation management.

The Consultation Report, including a map of the site and additional information is available to view in the document library to the right of this page.

A hardcopy of the report is also available to view in Adelaide Hills Council Service Centres in Stirling, Woodside and Gumeracha during opening hours.

Any person is entitled to object to the proposed road closure via a written submission. An objection must state whether the objector wishes to make a deputation to the Council in relation to the road closure process. The Council will give notification of a meeting at which the matter will be considered so the person making the deputation or a representative may attend, if so desired.
