Footpath Requests
The City of Playford is responsible for the installation of new footpaths and the maintenance of existing footpaths on local streets or reserve areas. However, in new land division areas, the responsibility for construction of footpaths lies with the developer.
If you have recently moved into a new home in a new development, there may be a chance the footpath has not yet been established. The developer of your housing estate is responsible for installing your footpath. If you would like to know which side of the street the footpath will be on, please contact Council on 8256 0333 or by email playford@playford.sa.gov.au
If you are living in an established area of Playford and there is a missing section of footpath, please request this online, by visiting Playford Online Services, phoning Customer Care on (08) 8256 0333 or by sending an email to playford@playford.sa.gov.au.
Your request will be assessed and added to the schedule of capital works, for completion at a future date.
If there are no existing pram ramps connecting to an existing footpath, please request this online, by visiting Playford Online Services, phoning Customer Care on (08) 8256 0333 or by sending an email to playford@playford.sa.gov.au.

Footpath Maintenance
The City of Playford is responsible for the maintenance of footpaths throughout the community.
Report footpath damage online, by visiting Playford Online Services, phoning Customer Care on (08) 8256 0333 or by sending an email to playford@playford.sa.gov.au.
The footpath will be inspected and assessed, then placed on a program of works based on the condition rating, including how severe the damage is to the footpath. If the damage is rated as minor, the request will be placed onto a register with works to be programmed as funding is made available.
Individuals, contractors or organisations carrying out works must notify Council in writing and wait for approval before commencing works.
If any damage to the path is sustained during the course of works, the path is to be reinstated to a standard that is compliant to Council's specifications at the expense of the offending party.
