Road Maintenance

In reply to the Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (24 November 2020). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised:

The Hon C L Wingard: I have been advised that:

The new road maintenance reform delivery model has structured the coordination and delivery of road maintenance services by private sector providers across the following four zones:

Zone 1—Metropolitan Adelaide

Zone 2—Regional South

Zone 3—Regional North

Zone 4—Outback

The distribution of zones are different to the previous arrangements in which services were partly outsourced to industry and partly performed by departmental personnel in different areas of the state.

As a result of the implementation of the new contact arrangements:

13 employees chose to accept offers of employment from the new service providers and are no longer working within the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT).

15 ongoing employees have decided to separate from DIT and a further 14 have sought to voluntarily separate in January 2021.

All remaining ongoing employees continue to work in DIT or have taken up other opportunities across the public sector.
