St Peters

A development application has been lodged with the Council for a 12m x 4m LED advertising sign on the intersection of Stephen Terrace & Payneham Road above the Ultra Tune establishment. The application is currently out for public consultation and SPRA intends to make a submission to the Council Assessment Panel (CAP) that approval should not be given.

The proposal will look like this.

Traffic management in our suburbs is of significant concern to the St Peters Residents Association (SPRA). The issues of poor driver behaviour, excessive speed, rat running and parking are frequently raised to the committee.

Topics that have been raised recently include:

• The Avenues in St Peters, Joslin & Royston Park, particularly those streets closer to Payneham Road.
• Richmond St, Hackney where the narrow footpath and excessive speed create a risk to pedestrians and cyclists.
• Students parking around St Peters College
• Cyclists crossing Stephens Terrace at Ninth Avenue
