INTRODUCTION The Coorong District Council comprises 8,836 square kilometers of mainly rural land serviced by the towns of Tailem Bend, Meningie, Tintinara and Coonalpyn and other smaller settlements. The resident population of the District is 6,000, with about half that number being concentrated in the towns. At any time the travelers on the main highways swell the actual number of persons in the area. Three highways being Dukes Highway, Princes Highway and Mallee Highway pass through the District carrying heavy and general traffic between South Australia and the eastern states. The Council maintains a total of 1,800 kilometers of unsealed and sealed roads throughout the District. The Adelaide - Melbourne railway line divides the District and is met by two regional feeder lines mainly carrying grain to Tailem Bend for storage and eventual movement by rail to Port Adelaide. The area has a growing tourism focus as people seek out the natural environment that is available through the extensive National Parks, which are a feature of the district. The Coorong National Park from which the District takes its name is of world significance as a wetland of international importance.

Great Western Highway – Route Selection
Anthony Albanese Patrick Conlon Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Minister for Transport Regional Development and Local Government Joint News Release SA ECONOMY TO GET BOOST FROM $48 MILLION IN EXTRA ROAD FUNDING Work is set to start up to six months early on vital road projects across South Australia, as part of the Rudd and Rann Labor governments’ strategy to support jobs during the global recession. Federal Transport and Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese said the Australian Government will immediately provide the South Australian Government with $48.4 million for the maintenance and upgrade of the State’s road network. “As well as putting in place the road infrastructure vital to Australia’s long term economic prosperity, this new funding will support hundreds of local jobs, provide an immediate stimulus to local economies and save lives,” said Mr Albanese. The key elements of the package include: • Fast tracking safety upgrades along the Dukes and Sturt highways and South Eastern Freeway; • Extra funding for road maintenance; • New money to fix dangerous blacks spots; • Building new and upgrading existing rest stops for truck drivers; and • Installing boom gates and other safety measures at high risk rail crossings. “Central to the Government’s nation building agenda, and essential to Australia’s international competitiveness, is a greater investment in transport infrastructure,” said Mr Albanese. “That’s why we have put in place a $26 billion Nation Build road and rail program for the period between 2008/09 and 2013/14 – a record amount of Federal funding and double what the previous government spent over a similar period of time.
