Information
We are asking for feedback on the proposal to temporarily close a portion of Hutt Street, between Angas Street and Halifax Street.
The Old Crocks' Run on Hutt Street event celebrates the rich history of motoring by showcasing vintage vehicles, including pre-1935 cars, commercial vehicles, and motorbikes.
The event includes around 150 cars assembling on a section of Hutt Street prior to the start of the annual Old Crock’s Run to Glenelg. In addition to the vehicle showcase, there will be music and family-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy throughout the morning. This event is expected to bring significant economic returns to local businesses in the area, benefiting from the increased foot traffic and community engagement.
Under the Local Government Act 1999, public consultation is required for events that propose to alter the purpose of a road, by using a public road for business purposes, and when the road closure would impact traffic to a material degree.
If approved, Hutt Street will be closed southbound (2 lanes) between Angas to Halifax Street:
From 7:00am on Sunday 4 May 2025 until 11:30am on Sunday 4 May 2025
The purpose of this public consultation is therefore to invite feedback on the proposal to temporarily close a portion of Hutt Street, between Angas Street and Halifax Street.
Background

Initially featuring 18 cars and 10 motorbikes, the event quickly gained popularity, drawing large crowds to watch the parade from Adelaide to Glenelg. Over the years, it has grown to include a variety of classic and modern vehicles, becoming a beloved tradition that highlights the rich history of motoring in South Australia
The event organiser has chosen Hutt Street as the preferred start location to honour the tradition of the original rally that also started in this location in 1934.
