  • South Australian State Budget 2021-22
    South Australian State Budget 2021-22 Overview of Budget finances The State Budget 2021-22 has been brought down amidst a rapidly improving economy. Whereas the 2020-21 State Budget was delivered during the COVID-19 induced recession, this year’s State Budget has coincided with a seasonally adjusted South Australian unemployment rate of 5.8 per cent, state-wide economic growth of 2.25 per cent (despite an estimate of a 0.75 per cent contraction in last year’s budget), and business capital spending increasing over the last 12 months by 21 per cent. The State Budget Papers emphasise the job-creating effects of the State Government’s $4 billion stimulus package, announced last year during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its $107 million contribution to the Local Government Infrastructure Partnerships Program. But while acknowledging the effective role stimulus expenditures have performed in assisting economic recovery through the trough of the COVID-19 economic crisis, the State Government has designed its 2021-22 Budget around measures which seek to boost South Australia’s cost competitiveness in order to attract business investment. These measures include: • The extension of payroll tax exemptions for wages paid to eligible new trainees and apprentices; and • a 50 per cent land tax discount for eligible new build to rent housing projects. In addition, the State Government has announced various measures designed to assist economic development through sectoral grants delivered through a $200 million Jobs and Economic Growth Fund, and a series of targeted infrastructure investments totalling $17.9 billion over the 4-year forward estimates period.

  • SOLUTIONS and ACTIONS Murray and Mallee Region
    SOLUTIONS AND ACTIONS Murray and Mallee Region Murray and Mallee Region Major regional centres: Murray Bridge and Berri With a population approaching 68,900 people, the Murray and Mallee region is expected to grow at a rate of 0.4 per cent per annum to around 75,230 people by 2036. It is important to note however that Murray Bridge, which forms part of The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide, is expected to grow at a more significant rate. Significant land to the south of the South Eastern Freeway, for example, has been rezoned for residential development to support growth in Murray Bridge. While the River Murray remains the focus of the region’s economy, the area has undergone significant economic restructuring in recent years as a result of prolonged drought conditions between 2006 and 2010. Key economic activities are based on primary production and include horticulture, viticulture, dairying, intensive livestock production and associated processing activities. The river also provides a strong focus for tourism. With three major interstate highways passing through this region, there are significant opportunities to improve the efficiency of freight movement to key port and airport facilities in Adelaide and markets in Victoria and New South Wales. Upgrades to the Sturt, Mallee, and Princes Highways as well as key access roads across the region will be progressively undertaken to make the most of these economic opportunities, providing the impetus for increased development at key centres along these routes. These safety and capacity improvements will also support increased tourist and passenger movements to destinations across the region.

Through our diverse range of motor, home and travel products and services, we engage with our members in a variety of ways. This has given us unique insights into transport infrastructure improvements that South Australians want and need. RAA has had a trusted advocacy role in transport and mobility for more than 115 years, and through this we’ve developed an expert understanding of South Australia’s transport infrastructure requirements. We ensure our advocacy is evidence-based by consulting with industry, government and our members and by utilising open source data and our own research to develop and test our recommendations. RAA aligns its mobility advocacy with the following three themes: • Safe – A safe mobility system can be defined as a system that not only achieves, but outperforms, national and international safety benchmarks. It encompasses safe people, using safe vehicles, on safe roads, at safe speeds. • Accessible – To have a cost efficient, convenient and reliable transport network as an essential part of personal mobility. • Sustainable - Sustainable mobility encompasses the needs of current and future generations, and considers financial, societal and environmental factors.

  • Appendix 4: Trail Types/Classifications
    Appendix 4: Trail Types/Classifications Australian Walking Track Grading System Pre-2010, the grading systems applied to walking trails and the information conveyed to walkers varied considerably between states and territories and even between different land managers within states. The lack of consistent standards for walking trail grading makes it difficult for the public to choose walking trails that are suitable to their skills and level of fitness. Where grades vary, are confusing or are poorly understood, it can act as a deterrent to people undertaking walks, particularly to less confident and able walkers. Australian Standard 2156.1-2001 Walking Tracks - Classification and Signage In 2010 a proposed Australian Walking Track Grading System was developed and this system was endorsed by Parks Forum (the former peak body for park management organisations) as a voluntary industry standard. The aim of the Australian Walking Track Grading System is to encourage people who are not regular or confident bushwalkers to get out there and give it a go. It is specifically designed to reassure entry level walkers, particularly persons with a disability or people walking with children, that a particular trail is suitable for their skill level. Victoria’s Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) has committed to re-grading its State Forest walking trail network to be consistent with the new grading system 35 . Under the new system, walking trails are graded on a difficulty scale from grades one to five, as follows: • Grade One is suitable for persons with a disability with assistance • Grade Two is suitable for families with young children • Grade Three is recommended for people with some bushwalking experience • Grade Four is recommended for experienced bushwalkers • Grade Five is recommended for very experienced bushwalkers Figure 16: Walking track grading system icons The Australian Walking Track Grading System was developed by the Walking Tracks Grading and Improvement Project and funded by ‘Go for your life’ – a Victorian Government Initiative.
