The Port Adelaide Passenger Terminal has recently undergone a $500,000 facelift following a joint venture between Flinders Ports and the South Australian Government.

Key improvements include:

• A new road/traffic system into the terminal precinct - similar to airport drop off zones - for people dropping off or picking up passengers.
• A direct walkway from the terminal to the nearby Outer Harbor railway station.
• Improved facilities inside the terminal.
• A new visitor information area and improved signage/information about South Australia.
• New floor coverings throughout the building.
• Internal and external painting of building, and;
• Relocating the gangway entry point from the southern end to the northern end of the building to improve the flow of people through the site.

In total, more than $1.1 million has been spent on the passenger terminal precinct redevelopment, after Flinders Ports’ committed an extra $600,000 by fast-tracking three years of its maintenance program at the complex.

This has allowed new large windows – not part of the original redevelopment plans - to be installed on the western side of the complex.

Flinders Ports also demolished a large storage shed alongside the passenger terminal to improve car-parking facilities in the area.

The project took about five months to complete.
