Adelaide City Deal

In reply to the Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (26 October 2021).

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): Under the terms of the project agreement for the Adelaide City Deal, the following milestones comprise the expected $15.5 million which relate to the 2020-21 financial year:

Milestone Amount
Innovation Hub
A business case that meets the requirements of Clause 17 of the Agreement has been submitted to and accepted by the Australian Government. $2 million
Smart Technology

Carrick Hill
Submission of a project planConcept design completed. $1.5 million
Mitcham Hills Trail and Glenthorne Loop
Various projects $1.8 million
TOTAL $15.3 million *


*Note the total in the published table appears as $15.5 million which includes $0.2m paid in the 2019-20 year for Mitcham Hills Trail and Glenthorne Loop projects

In 2020-21, the commonwealth paid a total of $6.5 million to the Department of the Premier and Cabinet for the following projects:

Smart Technology: $1.0m

Aboriginal Arts and Cultures Centre: $4.0m

Carrick Hill: $1.5m

Total: $6.5m

The South Australian government submitted the requisite business case in respect of the Innovation Hub ($2 million) prior to the end of the 2020-21 financial year, which has since been paid by the commonwealth in the 2021-22 financial year.

The viability of the $60 million International Centre for Food, Hospitality and Tourism was being reassessed in 2021. The State Government is currently consulting with the Federal Government about what other projects could be established at Lot Fourteen, including plans for a hi-tech training facility to focus on delivering specialised training in cyber and digital technologies. As such, the relevant milestone ($2 million for submitting a business case) was not achieved in the 2020-21 financial year.

In respect of the Heysen Gallery at Hahndorf, the project plan has been submitted and approved by the commonwealth, and the contract with the architect (Snøhetta) has been signed. Whilst there are no known issues with plans submitted to the relevant council (Mount Barker), full planning approval is yet to be granted and as such the milestone ($3 million) has not been met. It is anticipated that approval will be granted, and early works will commence in the near future.

The funding for Mitcham Hills Trail and Glenthorne Loop projects ($1.8 million) will not form part of grant funding for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet as they relate to projects administered by the Department for Environment and Water.
