Will Henley Square Change Forever? Ditts Shares a Huge Development
On Triple M Breakfast with Roo, Ditts and Loz, Ditts revealed a rumour that has got locals talking. There is a strong push to block off Seaview Road in Henley Square, a move that could significantly change the area’s atmosphere.
Listen Below:
Why Are Locals Pushing for the Change?
Henley Square is a favourite spot for many in Adelaide, including Ditts himself. He shared his love for the area, saying:
“I love Henley Square. All of the restaurants are nice. I like all of them down there. We rotate through them over the journey, but just, like going there. Beautiful beach. Outside at the Ramsgate right now on a hot night, it’s a beautiful place to sit and look at the water.”
However, there is one major issue that many regulars agree on – the noise pollution from loud vehicles.
Hoon Driving at Henley Square: The Noisy Problem Locals Want Fixed
One of the biggest complaints from locals and visitors is hoon driving, particularly excessively loud motorbikes and cars revving their engines along Seaview Road.
Ditts described the experience:
“There was a bit of a dampener, hoon driving. And I’m talking motorbikes that are so loud and they just drown you out. They just deliberately rev their engines so loud that you can’t even hear yourself.”
This isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it’s an issue that’s affecting the liveability and enjoyment of Henley Square.
A Petition to Block Off Seaview Road is Gaining Momentum
Ditts shared that a local resident approached him during his visit, expressing frustration over the noise. She revealed she has started a petition to block off Seaview Road and has already spoken to many residents, business owners, and neighbours who support the idea.
This move could help create a more pedestrian-friendly space, reduce noise pollution, and enhance the Henley Square experience.
What Could This Mean for Henley Square?
If the City of Charles Sturt were to move forward with this proposal, there are a few possibilities:
- Full-time closure of Seaview Road – transforming Henley Square into a more relaxed, car-free zone.
- Weekend-only closure – allowing businesses to benefit from increased foot traffic while keeping the road open during the week.
- Traffic restrictions – limiting access to residents and essential vehicles only.
Have Your Say: Should Seaview Road Be Closed?
This rumour is already sparking debate among locals. Some believe it could significantly improve the area’s appeal, while others may have concerns about access and parking.
What do you think? Should Seaview Road be closed permanently, just on weekends, or not at all? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
