Traffic Management

In reply to the Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14 May 2019).

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised of the following—

On 29 April 2019 the government invited industry to tender for the maintenance of the Department of Transport, Planning and Infrastructure's road network, with new providers expected to be announced mid-2020.

The scope of the proposed maintenance contracts includes road network electrical assets such as traffic lights, variable speed limit signs, travel time signs and CCTV.

The department will continue to directly operate these electrical assets through the Traffic Management Centre and specify the standard to which they shall be maintained.

The new service provider/s will be required to deliver maintenance in accordance with the department's specification. The department will manage the contracts to specification and required performance levels, provide oversight and audit services to ensure providers are delivering to the required standard.

South Australia's approach is not new. Industry has been successfully delivering maintenance of road network electrical assets across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland for approximately a decade.

To note that electrical assets not owned and operated by the department, such as speed cameras that are owned and maintained by SA Police, are not included in the scope.
