Kensington Road is a main road in the South Australian capital city of Adelaide.[1] It serves the eastern suburbs, primarily the northern side of the City of Burnside and the southern side of the City of Norwood, Payneham & St Peters. Its western end, on the edge of the city centre, is at the Britannia Roundabout on the City Ring Route. Kensington Road continues into the city centre as Wakefield Road.
It has also been subject to controversial development by the Shahin family for their OTR headquarters, with over five attempts of approval despite community opposition.[2]
