The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly Gibson Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Recreation Gawler Line Electrification The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised: The contract for the provision of outer north passenger transport services was awarded to Transit Systems Australia (Torrens Transit) in March 2020 after an open public tender procurement process. This contract area covers the outer north of Adelaide and encompasses the Gawler railway line. The contract requires Torrens Transit to provide substitute bus services when requested by the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport due to parts of the infrastructure being closed for revitalisation, improvement or maintenance works such as the Gawler rail electrification project. The contract also includes a provision to engage subcontractors when resource requirements exceed the contractor's capacity. The contractor is able to choose who they subcontract work to provided they hold all the necessary accreditations and meet requirements under the Passenger Transport Act 1994 and associated regulations.
