  • A new railway station and plaza at Baker Street
  • A bus interchange at the existing Lipson Street car park which includes 94 parking spaces, including four accessible parking spaces

  • Upgrades to Barlow Street and Baker Street streetscapes for improved pedestrian and cyclist access.
  • Connectivity upgrades to pedestrian and cyclist access alongside Grand Junction Road.
  • Overall improvements to pedestrian and cyclist connectivity.

Now complete, the project will ensure the area becomes an important destination for local tourist attractions, contributing significantly to the ongoing renewal of the Port Adelaide precinct.
