Hammond Electorate

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:18): I rise to discuss the infrastructure funding for Hammond that was initiated during the Liberal government between March 2018 and March 2022. It is quite a significant list, including the Milang butter factory facade restoration, $20,000; Bremerton Wines, $400,000; Lake Breeze wines, $300,000; Eastern Fleurieu school, Langhorne Creek upgrade, $3 million; Callington Recreation Community Centre, $197,500; Monarto Safari Park, $4.55 million; Old Murray Bridge upgrade, $36 million; and Thomas Foods community infrastructure, $14 million.

It includes Gifford Hill Racecourse, Murray Bridge, $7.5 million; Murray Bridge Soldiers' Memorial Hospital emergency department, $7 million, alongside the operating theatre upgrade of $3 million; Murray Bridge High School upgrade, $20 million; Murray Bridge North Primary School upgrade, $5 million; Murray Bridge Regional Rowing Centre, $360,000; Murray Bridge swimming pool upgrade, $1 million; Greater Adelaide Freight Bypass planning study, $5 million; Murray Bridge to South-East links business case, including duplication of the Swanport Bridge, $5 million; Beston Foods Jervois plant upgrade, $2.5 million; Tailem Bend netball courts, $99,350; Tailem Bend new CFS station, $1.061 million; and Karoonda swimming pool—a big project that took years to get there, but we got there, member for Chaffey—$1.6 million.

Also included is Karoonda Districts Football Club upgrade, $258,000; Lameroo swimming pool regeneration $850,000; Zerella Fresh Parilla Potatoes new packing facility, $2 million; Browns Well Highway and Ngarkat Highway upgrade to bring back the roads to a 110 km/h speed limit, $42 million; Kalimna Hostel Strathalbyn redevelopment, $3 million; Strathalbyn and District Aged Care Facility upgrade, $16 million; Mannum Community College new STEM building, CAD lab and senior school upgrade, $3.9 million; and Eastern Fleurieu School Strathalbyn campus upgrade, $1.8 million.

There was $1.5 million towards the Mid Murray Murraylands Road upgrade; $900,000 towards the Coorong District Council high risk intersection upgrade; $1.5 million towards the Murray Bridge basketball stadium; $540,000 towards the Swanport Road recycled water pipeline project; $300,000 towards the Knights Well Road upgrade project; $25,200 towards the Borrika Tennis Club Incorporated to construct the tennis court; $17,900 to the Barefoot South Australia Water Ski Club Incorporated to construct a multiuse clubroom at Purnong Road, Caurnamont; and $2 million to the Dragway at The Bend.

There was $347,000 to the Bowhill Township; $125,000 to the Karoonda Business Park; $500,000 to the BIG4 Caravan Park at The Bend; $105,000 to the Harbour Mannum tourist grant; $200,000 to Murraylands Multisports; $171,000 to the sporting shooters at Tungkillo; $49,750 to the Imperial Football Club in Murray Bridge; $2 million for a new Strathalbyn SES station; $3.9 million for a new Strathalbyn Ambulance Station; $2 million to the Kanmantoo Copper Mine; $1.3 million to the Pinnaroo electric vehicle charging station; $648,000 to the Mallee Community Playground Trail project; and $449,917 to the on-farm emergency water infrastructure rebate scheme.

That is over $200 million worth of funding, which I was so proud to deliver as a local member during the former Liberal government during the time we were in government. It shows what you can do in regional areas when you have the power and the will to invest in local communities. A Liberal government will do that in regional South Australia, and I am so proud of what we delivered in the seat of Hammond.
