The projects nominated by the South Australian Labor Government will underpin the State’s economic growth and jobs into the future.
– With the successful implementation of Stage 1 of the GigCity Program, there now exists the opportunity to significantly expand Adelaide’s ultra-fast internet network to give access to even more data intensive companies.
The State Government submission also includes updates for the North-South Corridor and AdeLINK Tram Network initiatives.
The 2018 Infrastructure Priority List will build on the current list and update existing initiatives, with the State Government proposing new projects to reflect emerging infrastructure priorities across South Australia.
The State Government is investing at record levels to build modern, safe and accessible infrastructure which supports thousands of jobs and makes South Australia an ever better place to live.
Over the next four years the State Government will invest $9.5 billion in infrastructure which will unlock economic opportunities, sustain the construction industry and create a lasting and beneficial legacy for the people of South Australia.
The State Government stands ready to partner and work with the Federal Government to deliver these critical infrastructure projects, just as we did with the Northern Connector, Darlington, Flinderslink and Oaklands Crossing.
Our Government has allocated its share of funding for Stage 2 of the Gawler electrification and to deliver another section of the North-South Corridor between Pym Street and Regency Road.
Both projects are “shovel ready”, with tendering process already underway for the electrification of the Gawler line, while the current Torrens to Torrens project could be extended to include the Pym Street to Regency Road project.
We continue to call on the Turnbull Government to come to the table with funding so these projects can be delivered to address the Adelaide’s capacity constraints identified in the Australian Infrastructure Audit.
