  2. Special Local Roads Program • The Special Local Roads Program (SLRP) was established under the joint approvals of the South Australian, Commonwealth and Local Governments. • Project commenced in 1985-86 • Facilitates funding of significant and strategic works throughout the State.

  3. Special Local Roads Program • Funding for SLRP is provided from: • 15% of identified local road grants; • 15% of funding from the SA allocation of R2R2; and • 15% of SA supplementary road funding in recognition of inequities on the funding formulae. • 1/3 of total funding is allocated to metropolitan projects and 2/3 to rural projects • 50% contribution is required by metropolitan Councils and 33% contribution is required by rural Councils (the LGTAP aims to distribute funding evenly among regions – project permitting)

  4. Special Local Roads Program • Regional transport strategy’s have been implemented to set out each regions road priorities to ensure roads are designed and built ‘fit for purpose’ - freight/social/tourism • The LGTAP encourages project timeframes of 3-5 years.

  7. Issues identified in 2011-12 • Lack of clarity on the level of consultation and design (and resultant costing) • Councils seeking new project funding where previously funded projects have not been completed. • Applications being submitted for small road length components of major works such as a heavy vehicle bypass • Initial project costings are inadequate and applications being made for additional funding or the term of the project to be extended.
