Proposed speed limits at Port Lincoln Marina

Following a request from Council, the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) recently undertook a review of speed zoning in the Marina Area. This review was conducted following the identification of discrepancies between existing signage and the approved speed zones.

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport has proposed the following changes:

• Reduce the speed limit from 40km/hr to 30km/hr along Jubilee Drive.
• Retain the existing speed limit of 20km/hr on North Quay and South Quay Boulevards.

The reduction in speed along Jubilee Drive reflects its role as a key access route to the Port Lincoln Marina Wharf, fishing fleet operations, the Port Lincoln Leisure Centre, Marina Hotel and residential apartments. The area experiences high traffic volumes, particularly during times of boat loading and unloading, making a lower speed limit an important safety measure for all road users, including pedestrians.

A technical plan of the proposed speed zones and signage is available to view in the Key Documents section on the right or at the Council Office.

Feedback was invited from residents, business owners, wharf and quay users, and other stakeholders on the proposed changes to ensure that the speed limits in the Marina area meet community expectations while promoting road safety and efficient traffic flow.

Feedback was invited from Thursday 23 January to 10am on Thursday 20 February 2025.

Following the consultation process Council will compile the community's feedback and provide it to the Department for Infrastructure and Transport for final consideration and a decision on the proposed speed zones. Any changes to speed limits will be communicated, and signage will be installed as required by legislation.
