  • Hon Corey Wingard MP Minister for Infrastructure and Transport
    Hon Corey Wingard MP Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Saturday 20 February 2021 Stimulus spending boosting jobs and road safety Hundreds of local jobs will be created and road safety improved across the state with around $233 million in contracts awarded and tenders for release by the Marshall Liberal Government in the first two months of 2021. A total of 19 contracts worth nearly $85 million were awarded during January 2021, as the South Australian and Australian governments invest in metropolitan and regional road upgrades from the South Eastern Freeway to Ceduna. Nine tenders released to market in January 2021, total around $78 million which include pavement rehabilitation and sealing on the Stuart Highway. Expected tenders for release to market in February 2021, total at least $70 million which include pavement rehabilitation along Port Road between Junction Road and East Avenue. Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Corey Wingard, said the Marshall Government was committed to boosting jobs, business and infrastructure. “The Marshall Liberal Government’s congestion busting response to the COVID-19 pandemic is in full swing,” Minister Wingard said. “South Australia is facing its most challenging economic period in living memory and investing in projects that will get people into jobs sooner will keep our economy firing during this extremely difficult time. “This is another part of our plan to keep South Australia safe and strong, by creating jobs, backing business and building what matters. “The Marshall Government is focused on getting people from A to B faster so they can spend less time sitting in traffic and more time with their families doing what they love.

  • 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.

  • Analysis of Infringement Data from Fixed Red Light and Speed Cameras at Signalised Intersections in South Australia
    Analysis of infringement data from fixed red light and speed cameras at signalised intersections in South Australia Mackenzie JRR, Kloeden CN, Hutchinson TP CASR REPORT SERIES CASR071 June 2012 Report documentation REPORT NO. DATE PAGES ISBN ISSN CASR071 June 2012 20 978 1 921645 08 2 1449-2237 TITLE Analysis of infringement data from fixed red light and speed cameras at signalised intersections in South Australia AUTHORS Mackenzie JRR, Kloeden CN, Hutchinson TP PERFORMING ORGANISATION Centre for Automotive Safety Research The University of Adelaide South Australia 5005 AUSTRALIA SPONSORED BY Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure GPO Box 1533 Adelaide SA 5001 AUSTRALIA AVAILABLE FROM Centre for Automotive Safety Research http://casr.adelaide.edu.au/reports ABSTRACT Safety cameras are installed at some signalised intersections in South Australia. They photograph vehicles that enter the intersection after the signal has changed to red, or that exceed the speed limit by more than a selected amount. Infringement data at 21 safety camera sites in metropolitan Adelaide was used to track how disobey red light and speeding infringements changed during the first year of operation. It was found that both speeding and red light running decreased over time after the installation of a safety camera. Red light running decreased slowly over time, while speeding fell more rapidly. For the more serious levels of speeding, there was a more rapid fall in infringements during the first few weeks and a slower decline thereafter. Based on this, safety cameras appear to generate a worthwhile improvement in driver behaviour. The fact that continued reductions are seen during the first year of operation suggests that some learning on the part of drivers is occurring.

  • South Australia's Road Safety Action Plan 2018
    SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S ROAD SAFETY ACTION PLAN 2018 - 2019 2 Towards Zero Together – Road Safety Action Plan 2018-2019 FROM THE MINISTER In South Australia, over the past few decades, road deaths have reduced by 43 percent and serious injuries have reduced by 57 percent. This is despite a 43 percent increase in licensed drivers and riders and a 34 percent increase in the number of registered vehicles. Tragically, road deaths increased from a record low of 86 in 2016 to 101 people killed on South Australian roads in 2017. An unacceptably high increase in motorcycle rider fatalities saw 24 riders unnecessarily killed on our roads in 2017, the highest number seen for this group since 1993. A further 569 people were seriously injured in 2017. While this is the lowest number of serious injuries recorded in South Australia in any year, it remains too high. I believe we can further reduce road deaths and injuries, towards our ultimate goal of zero. To achieve this, all South Australians need to share this goal and responsibility and support the efforts needed to prevent road trauma continuing in our community. Infrastructure safety improvements that reduce crash severity, greater take up of safer vehicles, reducing vehicle speeds and speeding and reforming certain licensing laws offer promising potential to achieve greater reductions in fatalities and serious injuries. A continuing focus on behaviour change is also required as we continue to see many people dying on our roads as a consequence of drink or drug driving, driving tired, unfit, distracted, or not wearing a seatbelt.

    South Australia’s Freight Transport Infrastructure Moving Freight – Setting a Strategic Framework for the Future March 2006 Executive Summary South Australia’s ability to achieve its maximum growth potential is linked to the timely development of efficient and cost-effective transport infrastructure. In this update to the inaugural South Australia’s Freight Transport Infrastructure: Principles and Project Priorities released last year, the South Australian Freight Council (SAFC) has identified seven projects which, in its view, are urgently required to ensure the State continues to grow – free of costly transport bottlenecks that reduce the State’s competitiveness. The transport initiatives identified by SAFC, with an overall cost in the order of $2.8 to $4.2 billion, comprise the centrepiece of the Council’s submission to the State Government which has been developing a Transport Plan. In the absence of financial support for the projects identified, and given that efficient transport infrastructure is integral to intrastate, interstate and overseas trade, SAFC believes the State Government’s Strategic Plan goal of trebling SA’s exports to $25 billion by 2013 will not be realised. Ensuring the free flow of commercial and private sector transport will also deliver significant environmental and social gains for the community with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions high amongst them. The Council also believes the Commonwealth Government has “short-changed” South Australia over other States, with the lowest per capita payments for new road and rail developments under the Auslink funding program. Our State has many critically-needed projects that should be more appropriately funded under the scheme.
