Answers to Questions

Infrastructure Project Funding

363 The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().28 August 2024). Can the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport advise—

1. What is the reasoning for the 12-month delay and $13 million increase in spending for the Port Bonython Jetty project?

2. Why did the department underspend by $9.2 million on the Port Bonython Jetty refurbishment project in 2023-24?

3. Of the $7.2 million cost for the AGFMA transformation project in 2022-23, how much of these costs were spent on South Australian companies?

4. Can the minister confirm what works will be completed in 2024-25 as part of the $35 million allocated for the Strzelecki Track?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): The Department for Infrastructure and Transport advises:

1. Since commencing works on the Port Bonython Jetty project in late 2022 and throughout 2023, it was identified that additional concrete remediation and other maintenance work was required.

2. The underspend on the Port Bonython Jetty refurbishment project in the 2023-24 financial year included the need to undertake temporary works design (a process managed by the engaged head contractor) which took longer than initially programmed. Further to this, shipping movements impacted the program more than originally forecast (works cannot take place while a ship has docked for loading).

3. $1.506 million was spent on South Australian companies while the remainder were costs incurred by the South Australian government.

4. Works scheduled for completion on the Strzelecki Track in 2024-25 include:

Environmental and heritage surveys/clearances for the section between Cobblers Sandhills and Yeralina Creek.

Construction work on the section between Dillons Highway and Della Road Junction.

Construction work on the section between Strzelecki Creek Crossing and Cobblers Sandhills.
