Notice of works - Mile End Sports Precinct
Car park works
The existing car park at the SA Athletics Stadium is being upgraded as part of the South Australian Sports Institute project. To ensure it is operational for the 2023/24 athletics season, and Masters Games (athletics) in October, Hansen Yuncken will take possession of the site from 5 June 2023. Construction of the car park (excluding landscaping) is expected to be complete by Monday 4 October 2023, weather permitting. The site boundaries for the total construction area are shown in the image (shaded in blue).
During this time, patrons, tenants and hirers are to park in the adjacent car parking available at the Netball SA Stadium. Contractors and Stadium Operations will utilise the eastern underpass as a means to access the Stadium for deliveries, etc. Pedestrian access is also available through the eastern underpass, shown in the image. A temporary ticket booth will be located on entry.
The new SASI will include:
- Strength and conditioning gym capable of accommodating multiple sports and teams
- Specially designed indoor court with smart technology
- Sport specific ergometer training zones
- Indoor bounding areas
- Environment chamber for simulated heat, humidity and altitude stress training

Project update - landscaping works
Beautification/landscaping works within the Mile End Sports Precinct have been undertaken by the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Several components of the site have been improved, including:
- Enhancement of the walking / cycling path through a clean-up of overgrown and dead vegetation along the pathway and pruning trees to shape to maintain clear sight lines across the site.
- Beautification of the entry statement to the site from Railway Terrace on both sides of the road.
- New native trees being planted along with a range of hardy and drought tolerant shrubs and ground covers that will provide a variety of colour in the landscape throughout the year.
- Over 800 plants being planted at the entry to the site with newly irrigated garden bed area and lawn area.
- Views to the SA Athletics Stadium and Netball SA Stadiums have been opened up so they can be seen from Railway Terrace.
