Answers to Questions

Copper Coast Council

In reply to the Hon. J.A. DARLEY (9 June 2021).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Minister for Infrastructure and Transport has advised:

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) is investigating treatment options for this section of road for inclusion in the pavement reseal and rehabilitation program.

Landscaping upgrades is a matter for the Copper Coast Council. If council has developed landscaping plans DIT will work with council to ensure coordination of upgrades.

The matter of an exchange of the road responsibilities of council's heavy vehicle Wallaroo bypass road for the state-maintained Wallaroo Road has been the subject of discussions with council.

DIT and council have used the approach outlined in the Road Classification Guidelines in South Australia to assess the proposed exchange.

Given the investigations into treatment options for the Wallaroo main road, DIT will ensure the current investigations are completed before any future negotiations with council occur.
