SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT
South Australia secured the nation ’ s biggest ever defence project
Peninsula and the Port of Adelaide , via the $ 270 million Port River Expressway .
This is in addition to other works in the Port Adelaide area such as the $ 300 million Techport shipbuilding facility at Osborne , $ 126 million opening road and rail bridges over the Port River and $ 45 million deepening of the Outer Harbor channel .
As a state transitioning from old economy industries such as car manufacturing to new industries such as advanced manufacturing , and with the associated pressure on jobs , a key focus for the Government has been to maximise the benefits of infrastructure investment for local industries and workers .
