  • Tidal Wave of Construction and 1300 Jobs Heading for South Australia
    Tidal wave of construction and 1300 jobs heading for South Australia 11/10/2020 | Corey Wingard MP | More Jobs | Better Services A tidal wave of major construction is heading for South Australia with works starting on more than $1 billion worth of infrastructure projects within the next six months. The building boom kicks off this month and will support more than 1,300 jobs as the Marshall Government continues to build what matters to South Australians. Major construction begins on two of the biggest regional infrastructure projects ever undertaken in this state - the Port Wakeeld Overpass and Highway Duplication and the Joy Baluch AM Bridge Duplication Project. Showcasing a commitment to improving regional roads, next month shoulder sealing works will also begin on the Tod and Birdseye Highways. In metropolitan Adelaide, major construction works will start by the end of the year on the much anticipated upgrade of the intersection of Goodwood, Springbank and Daws Roads, as well as the Main North, Kings and McIntyre Roads Intersection Upgrade. Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Corey Wingard said these important projects will support our economy and deliver jobs at a time when our state needs it most will support our economy and deliver jobs at a time when our state needs it most. “The economic challenges our state is facing at the moment are unprecedented,” Minister Wingard said. “Getting major works started on infrastructure projects across South Australia will help keep the economy ring as we navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic. “Creating jobs is critical to our economic recovery and we’re delivering around 1,315 over the next six months in road infrastructure projects alone.

  • Shas of SA: Burra Smelts Historic Site
    Burra Smelts Historic Site Smelts Road, Burra SAHR 10989 – confirmed as a State Heritage Pl ace 8 November 1984 The Burra Smelts Historic Site is a distinct region within the Burra State Heritage Area, and is a State Heritage Place entered in the South Australian Heritage Register. It is located adjacent to, but across the creek from, the Burra Mines Historic Site, and encompasses structures, buildings and ruins of the Burra Smelting Works. It is historically significant, representing an industry that was integral to Burra's copper mining past, and one of the earliest major smelting works established in South Australia. The smelting works was established in 1849 when the South siSmelts te from mine lookout Australian Mining Association leased an area, on the eastern side of Burra Creek, to the Patent Copper Company (later the English and Australian Copper Company). Initially the copper ore had been transported to Swansea, Wales, for smelting, and later to Yatala in South Australia, but neither of these situations solved the problem of carting the unprocessed ore over long distances on unmarked roads and dirt tracks. During 1848, before the smelter was established at Burra, it is estimated that at least 1 200 bullock carts were on the road, each carrying two-and-a-half tons of ore. By mid-June of 1849 the smelting works was completed, and six large furnaces were ready to fire. Welsh and German smelters were brought in to work the smelting works and added a multi• cultural mix to Burra's predominantly Cornish mining population. By 1851 more than 1 000 men were employed at the smelting works, which had 16 furnaces in operation, using about 150 tons of wood daily, cut from the Murray scrub to the east of town.
