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. -

NORTHERN USA & CANADA Including Calgary Stampede
ABN 55 793 549 610 Swagman Tours Level 1, 182 Latrobe Tce (PO Box 7473) Geelong West VIC 3218 P: 1800 808 491 W: www.swagmantours.com.au E: [email protected] 2018 FARMING TOUR & AUSTRALIAN DESTINATIONS Aug 17 Dear Passengers, We hope everyone is having a very successful 2017, it’s hard to believe the year is over halfway gone already! We have been busy finalising our program for next year and have some great tours on offer for 2018. The decision has been made to reduce the duration of our farming tours - we are finding from passenger feedback the length of the tours is quite tiring for most and along with this we will cost the trips on lower passenger numbers with the aim of sending more departures away. The destinations we have scheduled for farming tours in 2018 are Northern USA & Canada including the Calgary Stampede, India, China including a Yangtze River cruise, New Zealand and the spectacular Top End & Kimberley region. We are pleased to promote some great Australian itineraries for 2018 – in particular a diverse 4WD touring program where both seats in Swagman vehicles are available along with a Tag Along option for those who prefer to drive their own 4WD. After the popularity of this year’s Canning Stock Route & Gunbarrel Highway tour we will be scheduling this once again, along with a Great Victoria Desert tour – Beadell’s Tracks – along the Anne Beadell & Connie Sue Highways, the Nullabor Plain & Googs Track. Also on the agenda is the Simpson Desert crossing. Our Australian accommodated tours will include the iconic Kimberley, but with a changed itinerary to incorporate Mitchell Falls & Plateau and Bell Gorge for a more authentic Kimberley experience.
