Automotive Industry

In reply to Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (23 July 2014). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for the Public Sector): I have been advised:

In July 2013, the South Australian government undertook a detailed analysis of the automotive supply chain in South Australia. The review determined that there are 33 tier 1 suppliers located in South Australia, employing around 3,700 people.

A further 719 companies in South Australia support the tier 1 companies, supplying a wide range of products and services, and employing 28,000 to 32,000 people.

This is in addition to the 1,700 jobs with GM Holden Ltd in South Australia.

The information derived from the automotive supply chain mapping analysis was obtained on a commercial in confidence basis, therefore I am unable to supply you with the requested list of companies.
