Public Works Committee: North-South Corridor (Torrens Road to River Torrens)

Ms DIGANCE (Elder) (11:56): I move:

That the 512th report of the committee, entitled North-South Corridor (Torrens Road to River Torrens), be noted.

This proposal is one of a number of projects in the upgrade of this major Adelaide transport corridor. It will see the upgrade of South Road between Torrens Road and the River Torrens—a distance of 3.7 kilometres. Specifically, it includes:

a 1.4 kilometre section of lowered road between Hythe Street at Ridleyton and Hindmarsh Avenue at West Hindmarsh;

a 2.5 kilometre non-stop section of road (which includes the lowered road);

a grade separation overpass of the Outer Harbour rail line; and

upgrades to a number of key intersections.

Preliminary works have already commenced, with the committee reporting to the house on those works in October 2013.

The works for the upgrade which we are now considering will commence later this year with an aim of completing the major construction work in 2018 and other post-construction and maintenance works to be finalised in 2019.

This is a jointly funded project between the state and federal governments with each contributing in equal proportions to the $896 million (GST exclusive) for the project. Given this, and pursuant to section 12C of the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991, the Public Works Committee reports to parliament that it recommends the proposed public works.

Debate adjourned on motion of Mr Gardner.
