Diagonal and Sturt Road, Marion

The City of Marion’s road network affects all residents, businesses, visitors, and those who drive through the Council area to reach other destinations. Therefore, the design of our streets can have a reaching impact through providing amenity, economic development, and improved community health & safety. Consequently, Council has developed a Streetscape Policy and program to revitalize its street network.

Diagonal Road and Sturt Road have been identified as streets Council will be improving and accordingly plans have been developed for your consideration.

Diagonal Road and Sturt Road have been identified as streets Council will be improving, spending a total of $4.1 million over the next 18 Months. We are now consulting on our plans.
