  1. Adelaide’s Missing North-South Link

  2. Adelaide’s Transport Challenge Our transport system must deliver strategic outcomes • Improve Adelaide’s competitiveness • Stimulate economic activity • Reduce social inequality by improving access to major activity centres, employment and education • Integrate with land-use planning

  3. How do we measure up? Adelaide’s competitiveness is declining

  4. How do we measure up? • Outer freeways in place in south and SE • PRX will give link to port • Inner ring route: improved amenity limited economic impact But moving people and freight NS remains a problem Recent investment in Road infrastructure

  5. Adelaide’s pattern of development is exacerbating the problem • Arc of opportunity • Decline of manufacturing in the south • 3 regions

  6. Moving people & freight NS • 80% of freight is local -road based • Noarlunga to Gawler -64 sets of traffic lights

  7. Solving the problem would.. • Deliver travel time improvements of 26 minutes • Make SA competitive - nationally • Savings to motorist of $3.00 to $4.50 in fuel alone • Overall benefits to SA economy of $1.6 billion (NPV)

  8. Solving the problem would.. • Improve environmental conditions • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions • Reduce noise • Improve safety • Social & financial impacts • Generate up to 3,000 construction jobs and 5,000 permanent jobs

  9. CAR’s North South Link • 62 km long 2-3 lane motorway • Linking Gawler to Noarlunga • $1.3 billion cost • $900m private sector funding • Minimal net govt contribution • Comparable with similar projects elsewhere in Australia

  10. Tolls • Only on newly constructed roads • Other alternative routes available. • Fully electronically tolled • Interoperable nationally. • Improves traffic flow – no interruptions. • Increases flexibility and revenue capture. • A way of life in other states • Acceptance - other alternatives available. • Typical toll of $2.50 one way (max$5.00). • More than off set by the direct cost savings to the motorist.

  11. Preferred Route • 6 options evaluated • Preferred route • Least residences effected • Reduced capital cost • Good connection with existing roads and CBD • Links with current TSA initiatives • (Port River Expressway, Southern Expressway, Inner Ring route) • Local impacts offset by wider benefits

  12. Preferred route

  13. Extension to Victor Harbour • A major accident hotspot • Alternative sources of funding proposed • A stimulus to development and tourism

  14. Funding • PPP provides model for private sector involvement • $450m required from government • Project meets criteria for Federal funding • SA Government investment • $200 million - Over 4 years

  15. Can we afford to defer this project? • Land acquisition more difficult & costly • Freight task predicted to double by 2024 • Risk of losing more business to interstate • A lost opportunity: clear signal to potential investors

  16. Next steps • Government support needed • To be included in State Infrastructure Plan • Complete Joint TSA studies • Confirm cost assumptions • Confirm route options • CAR Role • Build public awareness • Engage DOTARs
