3.3. Key stakeholders
The proposed grade separation of Morphett Road, Diagonal Road and the Seaford rail line at
Oaklands Park has three key stake holders who will be affected by the action of this project,
thus the result of the project will directly benefit them individually or better the community as a
whole.
Road and Public transport users
The Noarlunga – Adelaide railway line is one of the main corridors connecting Adelaide CBD and
Noarlunga further south to Seaford. The increasing rail services will result in the Oaklands Park
rail crossing being closed for 30% of the time during peak periods, which will worsen the traffic
congestion at this bottle neck of the intersection of Morphett Road and Diagonal Road. In order
to cater for the 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide and to improve the connectivity of north and
south of Adelaide, the result of the project is crucial. Although maintaining passenger services
on the Noarlunga Line is recommended during the construction staging, shutdown of tracks is
hard to avoid and will be minimised to reduce the inconvenience it brings to the traffic flow.
Necessary speed restrictions and temporary road closures might carry out on Morphett Road
and Diagonal Road, which carry significant amount of traffic flow to and from Marion Shopping
Centre and the State Aquatic Centre. The project will also have a great effect on road users
including vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, who wish to access these facilities.
Local residents and business (State Aquatic Centre & Marion Shopping Centre)
Along with the small businesses within the area, the completion of State Aquatic Centre and the
Marion Shopping Centre increase traffic generation and traffic volumes through the intersection.
Ideally businesses and local residents will wish to see an improvement in accessibility within the
road network and minimal disruptions during the construction processes of the redevelopment.
Consultation sessions will be held with these affected parties as a means of communication with
these stakeholders to gather their views and input.
In the event of any property acquisition, the stakeholders in this scenario will be consulted with,
along with the relevant governing authorities.

The Oaklands Park grade separation is part of South Australia’s 30 year plan. The Seaford Rail line
continues to be a major rail line for commuters each day, along with the major roads, Diagonal and
Morphett Roads being major arterials for traffic throughout the day, mostly during peak times.
This network is pivotal for all commuters and DPTI are aiming to reduce congestion at the
intersection, and improve the flow of traffic for road users. In addition to this, the increased safety
of road users is critical for the redevelopment of the area.

5. Scope of Works This feasibility study will explore a variety of options for the grade separation of the Seaford
rail line, Morphett Road and Diagonal Road at Oaklands Park. The development will address
the issues of severe traffic congestion, and provide a solution for predicted 2031 traffic
volumes.
Just Engineering will seek to find the most efficient and economical solution which will
improve the traffic flow and safety of the Oaklands Park area, provide improvements for
rail-bus integration and improve accessibility across the rail corridor.
5.1. Structural Team
The structural team will perform a site visit to observe the problem first hand. This
experience will be used to help assist during the design option stage, where the team will
consider each option and investigate the feasibility of each.
During this stage the team will also investigate the presence of utilities in the area, and refer
to services such as Dial-B4-U-Dig. Using the information regarding these utilities, the team
will then determine whether these services will need to be relocated or retained.
The structural team will use a variety of analysis programs such as 12D, MicroStation, CAD
and SPACE GASS to analyse all possible options for the upgrade of the Oaklands Crossing
and will present the most feasible option for the crossing upgrade.
The team will work with the Planning team to ensure the constructability of the proposed
project, and ensure that the project will run smoothly and without cost overruns.
5.2. Transport Team
This project is part of Adelaide’s 30-year Greater plan. The Noarlunga rail line is expecting a
30% increase in rail services which will result in the Oaklands Park crossing being closed for
30% of the time during peak periods. Just Engineering have tasked a team of experienced
personnel to look at this congested region, and determine which design option will provide
the best results for commuters for years to come.
Just Engineering
23 | P a g e
To increase our understanding of the nature of the intersection, our transport team will tour
the site to view, first hand, the nature of traffic patterns throughout. The team will use this
along with turn survey data from DPTI and AADT design volumes to analyse all design
options and determine which option will prove to be the best option to increase traffic flow
and reduce congestion time for now, and into the future.
Just Engineering understands the impact of traffic on local streets during high congestion,
and during construction works. We understand that this is an issue of public safety, and we
will ensure that at all stages of construction, we will use the safest options for road re-
routing which will maintain a constant flow of traffic, especially during peak-times. We will
also use community consultation sessions to inform local residents of changes to the road
system during the construction phases.
We will work with the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure, along with
Transport SA to relocate and incorporate temporary bus stops and services to minimise
impacts to commuting. Temporary services will be used to allow for any temporary closures
to existing bus or train services. Just Engineering will use community consultation sessions,
along with Transport SA to create awareness of any changes that will be made.
5.3. Geotechnical Team
Our Geotechnical team has a great deal of experience in geotechnical works, and will have
the knowledge to deliver a variety of solutions for any proposed works. We have a wide
range of knowledge in soil testing, footing design, foundation design, pavement design, GIS
analysis and use of software analysis programs such as CORD, SLOG and GALENA.
Using available geology reports, topographic surveys and borehole logs, along with our
experience in geotechnical analysis we will present the most feasible option for our client.
5.4. Planning Team
Just Engineering is committed to delivering results for its customers, and in delivering this
result we strive to minimise public disruption and work in a safe environment for our team,
and the public. To achieve this, a Planning Officer will be appointed to ensure that the
Just Engineering
24 | P a g e
development is managed in a safe manner, with minimal disruptions to the public and
surrounding businesses.
We understand that there is a great deal of public interest for projects such as this. Just
Engineering believe that the public should have the opportunity to voice their concerns
about any project that affect them, therefore, the Planning Officer will spend a great
amount of time dealing with the general public by performing surveys and consultation
sessions. Our processes and operations will be available to the public.
In combination with the Transport team, along with major road and transport authorities
and bodies, the Planning Officer will consult to ensure that proposed works will run
smoothly, minimising interruptions. The Officer will detail road and lane closures and plan
alternative routes to manage traffic in affected areas, along with re-route bus services and
implementation of substitute buses for train line closures.
The area for the proposed development may also contain numerous significant trees and
heritage buildings. The planning officer will consult with our Environmental team to use
available resources from the local Council to identify these and manage a plan for work
around these areas.
If Land Acquisition is required, the Officer will work with the land owner, local council to
present a solution which will be manageable for the works. The officer will consult the South
Australian Land Acquisition Act.
5.5. Water & Environmental Team
Consistent with the Environmental Policy of Just Engineering, we are committed to
delivering results in a manner which will present minimal impacts to the environment. This
is not limited to local flora and fauna, but extends to pollution levels, including air and noise
pollution. The environmental team will work to manage the project to minimise noise for
local residents and businesses, manage air pollution and work to deliver a project that is
environmentally sound.
We have extensive experience in the design of water systems, such as sewerage,
stormwater, drinking water, and emergency systems, using software programs MicroStation,
Just Engineering
25 | P a g e
Water Gems, HEC-RAS and drains. Just Engineering has a knowledge base in environmental
policy and is conscious of the environmental impacts of construction works.
As aforementioned, the environmental team will also consult with the Planning Officer to
manage the occurrence of any significant trees, if present, and the identifying and managing
of heritage buildings within the area.
The team will also investigate issues surrounding water management and plan for
stormwater and water utilities. The team will use existing data from SA Water to determine
the current location of water system, and endeavour to implement the new system as
efficiently and cost effective as possible.
