General Notes on the Stuart Highway
CHALLENGING TERRAIN NO MATCH FOR ENGINEERING INGENUITY Page 1 of 8 The concept and design of the Stuart Highway began in 1870 by the South Australian Government. Between 1911 and 1978 the Commonwealth and various state government departments utilised in house resources and consultants to continue development. The Northern Territory Government took responsibility for construction from 1978. The highway began in 1870 as a supply track along the Overland Telegraph and over 130 years later, it is now the Stuart Highway as we know it today. The Stuart Highway North connects Alice Springs with Darwin via numerous small towns and the two major centres of Tennant Creek and Katherine. The explorer John Mc Douall Stuart, on his third attempt, crossed the continent of Australia from Port Augusta to the north coast arriving 20 miles east of the mouth of the Adelaide River on 24 July 1862. Stuart’s Reports spoke highly of the potential of the country that he had traversed and based on Stuart’s advice South Australia had the land to its north excised and on 6 July 1863 the Northern Territory became the responsibility of South Australia14. In 1871 the Overland Telegraph line was constructed linking Port Augusta and the southern states with the recently established settlement of Palmerston. The undersea cable connecting Australia to the world through Java came ashore at Palmerston on Port Darwin. The Overland Telegraph followed the route taken by Stuart for a substantial proportion of its 1765-mile length. The alignment of the telegraph was kept cleared of trees, maintenance and resupply of stores for the telegraphers at the Repeater Stations, meant that traffic along the route was ongoing and “The Overland” became established. -

Submission to House of Representatives Standing Committee on PRIMARY INDUSTRIES & REGIONAL SERVICES The Coorong District Council (SA) AUGUST 1999 Bill Paterson Chief Executive Officer Coorong District Council PO Box 28 Ph: (08) 8575 1008 Meningie SA 5264 Fax: (08) 8575 1516 Email: [email protected] L:\Infrastructure inq\Submissions\Electronic subs\sub291-e.doc Infrastructure on Primary Industries & Regional Services 1. 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. Refer Appendix –1 & 5 When considering the Terms of Reference a significant numbers of areas could be addressed and we will touch on a few of those in the latter half of the submission. -

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. -
