A city councillor has failed in a bid to knock back an Adelaide Fringe request to close Rundle Rd for six weeks for next year's event - but other councillors say they might still vote against the plan following public consultation.
Adelaide Fringe organisers have applied to Adelaide City Council to close Rundle Road in the East End from February 7 to March 21 next year.
The six-week closure will allow the expansion of the Garden of Unearthly Delights and Gluttony to include two new venues of 800 and 1000 seats that will spill onto Rundle Road.

Mullighan said EVs were far more expensive than their petrol counterparts, with a Hyundai Kona Elite electric model priced at $54,500 compared with a regular Kona at $26,900.
“Many battery electric vehicles are cost prohibitive, so they are above a price threshold that the fleet would normally pay for other fleet vehicles, but of course as technology improves and volume efficiencies are achieved it is expected price parity will occur sometime in the future,” he said.
Premier hasn’t seen full uni merger business case
Premier Peter Malinauskas says he hasn’t read the full business case for the agreed merger of the universities of Adelaide and South Australia he pushed for, despite committing nearly $450m in taxpayer funds.
The Malinauskas Government – which strongly backed amalgamation and would have re-established a merger commission of inquiry had the universities not “voluntarily” approved it – has committed $445.5m to support the merger via perpetual investment funds, land purchases and $30m for measures attract international students.
Treasurer Stephen Mullighan says that if the universities of Adelaide and South Australia don't “voluntarily” agree to amalgamate - with a decision expected this weekend - they risk losing merger support funding while still facing a government-established inquiry to "find ways in which the universit...
