Economic Stimulus Package

45 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (29 April 2020). What are the criteria for projects to be funded by the government's economic stimulus package, as set out in the Premier's press release of 11 March 2020?

1. What is considered to be 'as short period of time', as stated in the Premier's press release of 11 March 2020?

2. What determines whether a project is 'labour-intensive' as stated in the Premier's press release of 11 March 2020? Is there a threshold of labour cost or hours that a project must meet, or some other requirement?

3. What determines whether a project requires 'significant local purchasing of materials, services or supplies' as stated in the Premier's press release of 11 March 2020? Is there a threshold of local purchasing that a project must meet, or some other requirement?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

Project commencement dates for measures included in the government's stimulus package will vary depending on the nature of the project. It is the case that some projects have already commenced and others will commence in the coming months as they move from the planning to implementation phase.

It is intended that projects will support employment in the state. However the extent to which this is the case will vary depending on the nature of the project. There is no specified threshold.

In terms of local purchasing requirements, all government projects are subject to the requirements of the South Australian Industry Participation Policy.
