Tourism Development of the Fleurieu Way as a primary cross regional tourism route, suitably signposted and promoted, from Wellington, via Strathalbyn, Goolwa, Victor Harbor, Delamere / Cape Jervis, Normanville / Yankalilla, Aldinga, Willunga and McLaren Vale, to Adelaide. Development of the Kangaroo Island South Coast Loop and North Coast Loop as primary regional tourism routes, suitably signposted and promoted, and connected via the Sealink Ferry and the Fleurieu Way to Adelaide and Melbourne. Development of tourism link roads from the Fleurieu Way, KI South Coast Loop and KI North Coast Loop to secondary tourism destinations, primarily associated with the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island food and wine trails, plus coastal destinations. Public Transport Significant enhancement of regional public transport to/from Adelaide by providing a more frequent and coordinated bus schedule from Victor Harbor, Goolwa and Yankalilla to the Seaford Bus/Rail Interchange, with the ultimate aim of extending Metrocard ticketing to these towns.
