Background

Flinders Port Holdings (FPH) completed a series of upgrades at our Port Lincoln site in 2022 to improve the safety of all port users. A Traffic Management Study identified the need for these works following the closure of rail transport to the area, which resulted in an increase in heavy vehicle traffic.

The port area is used by a wide range of users, including heavy long commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, large buses and pedestrians. To address the potential risks associated with increased heavy vehicle traffic, the study identified key areas for improvement. These were subsequently delivered through the works.

Outcomes

Site upgrades included:

  • additional signage
  • defined parking areas
  • improved lighting
  • raised islands to stop parking
  • automated gate installation.

The installation of the automated gate:

  • slowed incoming traffic to the port precinct
  • increased safety for pedestrians within the port precinct
  • gave FPH ability to manage the site should a serious incident occur
  • increased lighting at the entry to the site and gate interface area
  • provided signage for all users of the site.
