Jetty Road, Glenelg will be transformed into a modern, vibrant and world-class destination – that will be loved by locals and tourists alike.

Holdfast Bay Mayor Amanda Wilson says the $40 million project will start this year and will continue over three years in a staged approach.

“The Transforming Jetty Road, Glenelg project is the biggest undertaking our Council has committed to,” Mayor Wilson said.

“If we want Holdfast Bay to continue to be a desirable destination, where people want to live, do business and visit, then we need to invest in the future of our city.

“The Transforming Jetty Road project will not only benefit Glenelg, it will have a positive impact on the full breadth of the city, including residents, local traders, visitors and the wider southern and western region of Adelaide.

“This will be a development of state significance.”

Mayor Wilson said the project will transform our flagship precinct  that supports more than 330 local businesses and up to a million visitors annually.

“We want our residents to be proud of our commercial and tourism hub and our mission is to deliver a place where Holdfast Bay locals want to go and shop, eat and enjoy – and then show it off to their visiting family and friends,” she said.

The project will be undertaken in three zones – City, Transition and Coast - over three years.

This will ensure minimal disruption to traders, residents and visitors throughout the precinct, which is one kilometre in length and supports 19 side streets and laneways.

Plans for each of the zones are based on feedback received from the community consultation on the Jetty Road Masterplan in 2017-18.

“We’ve heard what the community has told us about the need to upgrade Jetty Road and we’re further improving and building on the ideas first proposed in the masterplan,” Mayor Wilson said.

Renewal works will start in spring 2024 in the City zone with the entire project to be completed by the end of 2027.

Council will allocate $30 million to the project along with a $10 million commitment already secured by the Australian Government for the Coast zone.
