A message from Jay Weatherill

SOUTH AUSTRALIA IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT.

AS OUR ECONOMY RESPONDS TO GLOBAL ECONOMIC CHANGE, WE MUST PROMOTE OUR STRENGTHS AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE GROWTH.

The major projects detailed within this publication

demonstrate the range and capabilities of our diverse

and competitive economy and investors’ confidence

in its future. The 326 projects valued at $94.69 billion

demonstrate our state’s determination to vigorously

pursue investment and business opportunities to enhance

the prospects of our people, today and in the future.

As a government, we recognise our role in facilitating

opportunities in the sectors that can realise these

opportunities. Our strategic and targeted approach has

led us to identify the 10 economic priorities that will

unlock our state’s potential as a place to do business,

create jobs, develop industry and attract investment.

My vision for South Australia is a place where people

and business thrive. Through the implementation of

our economic priorities, we will develop a resilient and

productive economy that offers challenging jobs for

highly skilled South Australians.

The priorities are based on and reflect the potential

for development of our state’s recognised strengths:

a clean and pristine environment and long-standing

premium food and wine production capabilities; the

minerals and energy resources necessary to build cities

around the world; the weight we give knowledge,

intellectual curiosity and partnerships as foundations

for developing goods and services to improve people’s

businesses and lives; flexible manufacturing capabilities;

and workplace skills and values that drive businesses

large and small to maximum efficiency.

These strengths, along with our increased efforts to

shape Adelaide as a preferred destination for investors,

residents, students and international and domestic

Construction underway on the new Royal Adelaide Hospital

travellers, are inspiring change and growth across our

economy and the state.

In response to the announcement that car manufacturing

will cease to exist in Australia, we are working to transform

the capabilities of our manufacturers so they and their

workers can support other sectors and supply chains –

defence, mining and energy and related technologies,

oil and gas industries, medical devices, assistive

technologies, and food and wine processing.

Sophisticated manufacturing capabilities and the

extensive demand for our natural and economic assets,

will help develop diverse and long-term international

connections and engagement with targeted partners:

China, India and South East Asia. In turn, these

relationships will help attract business and skilled

migrants who inject ideas, entrepreneurship, cultural

connections and capital into the state.

The new Department of State Development has

responsibility for identifying and exploring how best

to transform the state’s strengths, and our expanding

international relationships, into real business and job

opportunities aligned with our priorities.

Our minerals and energy sector is an important

economic priority for South Australia.

Exploration reached a record high $647.6 million in

2013-14. Global developer BHP Billiton remains

committed to finding a cost-effective method of

expanding its mammoth Olympic Dam copper-

gold-uranium operations, and has received Federal

Government approval to test its heap leach technology

at the Olympic Dam site.

The nuclear co-operation agreement that allows

Australian uranium sales to India may create

opportunities for developers of South Australia’s

extensive uranium deposits.

Other projects include the mineral leases granted to

Rex Minerals for its 15-year Hillside copper-gold-iron ore

mine on Yorke Peninsula. In coming months, Rex will

prepare an environmental plan to explain how it will

meet necessary conditions for mine approval.

Our deep natural gas exploration is predicted to deliver

billions of investment dollars to the state. The western

flank oil play in the Cooper-Eromanga basin – among

the most productive onshore oil provinces in Australia –

is home to new field discoveries and has attracted

25 companies working in 10 joint ventures to accelerate

production.

Offshore, major players BP, Statoil, Chevron, Murphy and

Santos are among those investing a combined $2 billion

in a six-year exploration within the Great Australian Bight.

Our Onshore Petroleum Centre of Excellence training

facility at Tonsley – the 61-hectare site in Adelaide’s south

being developed as a collaborative and high-value

industry, education and residential precinct – will ensure

this sector continues to play a part in our future.

Tonsley is also attracting investors in education, medical

technologies, advanced manufacturing and clean

technologies. Innovative energy companies based at

Tonsley will contribute to South Australia reaching our

new renewable energy target: 50 per cent of the state’s

power to be generated by renewables by 2025, an

improvement on 31.5 per cent in 2013-14.

This new renewables target will create jobs and drive

capital investment and advanced manufacturing

industries while reinforcing our determination to

minimise our carbon footprint.

The Department of State Development is also

working with world-class scientists and researchers

in our universities and business to identify how the

commercialisation of health-related research in our

biotechnology precincts and laboratories – such

as the rapidly expanding hub in central Adelaide,

BioInnovation SA at Thebarton, the Cell Therapy

Manufacturing CRC at Mawson Lakes, the University

of South Australia’s Centre for Cancer Biology and the

Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer – can support

ageing populations and healthy lifestyles.

The department is also working to ensure that South

Australia remains on track to achieve the defence

targets in South Australia’s Strategic Plan: direct and

indirect employment of 37,000 and an economic

contribution of $2.5 billion by 2020. Major Developments

Directory-listed projects illustrate how South Australia

continues to leverage our record in naval shipbuilding

and sustainment, aircraft support and component

manufacture and other defence-related activities.

The Department of State Development is critical to

our government’s success in addressing our priority

objectives. In the challenging global conditions that

continue to prevail we look to partners in business,

communities and government to maximise our efforts

and build competitive advantage.

I look forward to working with you to shape South

Australia as the place where people and business thrive.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

MANUFACTURING PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S ECONOMY, DIRECTLY EMPLOYING MORE THAN 80,000 PEOPLE ACROSS THE STATE.

South Australia continues to rely on its long-standing manufacturing capabilities to increase productivity and generate flow-on jobs in services and other sectors.

The State Government is committed to supporting the sector’s growth through its industry strategy, Manufacturing Works.

Introduced before Holden, Ford and Toyota announced they would cease automotive production in Australia, Manufacturing Works underpins the South Australian Government’s efforts to guide the transformation of the automotive industry and turn the broader manufacturing sector to high-value opportunities.

These opportunities exist and will develop in the production of niche goods and the provision of related services, predominantly low-volume but high in complexity, variability, flexibility and value-add.

The adoption of new technologies such as 3D printing, robotics, photonics and sensors, individualised production control systems and advanced materials will enhance the competitiveness of smaller companies.

The redevelopment of the former Mitsubishi site at Tonsley is a major component in the work to move South Australian manufacturing to more innovative, high-value activities. Tonsley will support smart specialisation clusters and precincts in which industries work with research institutions to expand, innovate and create jobs.

Land sales and physical development at Tonsley are expected to attract more than $1 billion in private-sector investment during the project’s 20-year life. The State Government is investing $253 million over the two decades, largely offset by land sales and rental income.

CASE STUDY

Adelaide Airport

P 11


Just as important for the airport’s private operator,

Adelaide Airport Ltd (AAL), has been the integrated

growth of its non-aeronautical business enterprises, and

in particular commercial development.

Adelaide Airport is South Australia’s largest single-site

employment precinct, responsible for 12,000 direct and

indirect jobs. It contributes $2 billion each year to the

state’s economy, representing about 2 per cent of

Gross State Product.

A key plank of its plans for the next 30 years is the

formation of the ‘Airport Business District’, which

encompasses all aspects of development. Spread over

100 hectares, the Airport Business District is being

billed as a hub and gateway for local, national and

international businesses, with zones for commercial,

aviation, retail and leisure activities.

AAL Managing Director Mark Young says a previous

approach of establishing individual airport business

‘precincts’ had resulted in solid growth in commercial

development. However, he says the company now

recognises that an ‘all-in approach’ allows it to better

promote the advantages of doing business at

Adelaide Airport.

“Our vision is to be a top-tier airport business centre

in the Asia Pacific region, recognised for delivering

exceptional outcomes to our customers, partners,

shareholders and community,” Mr Young said.

“To achieve this, we need to better identify the benefits

of what Adelaide Airport has to offer.

“We are building upon a significant base. A major

advantage of Adelaide Airport as a business destination

is that it is only 6 km from the CBD, and central to all

major transport links including road, rail and sea.

“Our international passenger numbers are growing

by more than 20 per cent a year. This has helped

us increase the number of international flights and

destinations, and in turn create new freight export

opportunities to key markets including mainland China

and the Middle East.”

Mr Young said AAL will help forward-thinking

businesses flourish in future global markets, stimulating

competition, collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

Clusters already established or expected to expand at

Adelaide Airport include:

• mining and resources

• freight and logistics

• technology

• office and warehousing

• healthcare

• government enterprises

• emergency services.

“Our plans predict a further $1 billion in infrastructure

investment over the next five years,” Mr Young said.

“Potential developments include terminal expansion,

additional car parking, a new airport hotel, an aviation

logistics centre, and globally connected commercial

and industrial business precincts.”

Adelaide Airport is also recognised as a leader in

introducing sustainability measures. It is Australia’s first

capital city airport to receive Level 2 Airport Carbon

Accreditation under Airport Councils International’s

global sustainability program.

GLOBAL MINING AND METALS COMPANY NYRSTAR HAS REACHED A BINDING AGREEMENT WITH THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN AND AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENTS TO INVEST $514 MILLION TO REDEVELOP THE PORT PIRIE SMELTER INTO AN ADVANCED POLYMETALLIC PROCESSING AND RECOVERY FACILITY.


Port Pirie Redevelopment CASE STUDY

P 13

Images on this page:Nyrstar’s Port Pirie smelter

The Nyrstar Port Pirie facility will be redeveloped as a central operation to support Nyrstar’s expanding industrial footprint.

Nyrstar received major development approval and regulatory certainty in relation to redevelopment in 2013. Government planning approvals have also been granted, allowing construction to begin in 2015 ahead of anticipated commissioning in 2016.

Port Pirie is one of the world’s largest primary lead smelting facilities and the third largest silver producer, which allows it to generate significant economies of scale. The smelter has been a major employer in Port Pirie, a regional city in the mid-north of South Australia, for 125 years and will continue to operate as normal during the redevelopment.

It has the flexibility to process a wide range of lead-rich concentrates and smelting industry by-products. Port Pirie’s competitive position is enhanced by its ability to produce a range of metals and treat a variety of by-products, together with its focus on supplying the growing markets of Asia, especially China.

The redeveloped facility is expected to have an operating life of more than 30 years and will feature state-of-the-art, proven technology already installed at more than 25 sites across the world. It will also reduce airborne metal, dust and sulphur dioxide emissions, leading to significant improvements in community health including a reduction in blood lead levels.

The redevelopment is being led by a dedicated project team that will capitalise on the industrial footprint, infrastructure and skilled workforce already in place.

When complete, the upgraded operation will be able to process a wider range of high-margin, metal-bearing materials. The redevelopment will replace the out-dated sinter plant with oxygen-enriched enclosed bath smelting furnace technology and a sulphuric acid plant.

The project also has the capacity to transform Port Pirie, providing certainty and confidence to the community and the wider region. It will ensure Nyrstar remains Port Pirie’s major employer, the most significant private-sector contributor to the community and the region and a substantial contributor to South Australia’s economic output.

The application of the new technology will also deliver a range of environmental benefits, including a reduction in the movement of materials onsite that will decrease dust generation and movement, improve blast furnace environmental performance, and improve hygiene conditions for smelter workers.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S MINERAL AND ENERGY ASSETS, POLICY LEADERSHIP AND WELL-MANAGED MINING AND PETROLEUM BUSINESSES PROVIDE AN APPEALING FOUNDATION FOR INVESTOR INTEREST.

Oil and gas, copper, uranium, gold, heavy mineral

sands-zircon, base metals, graphite and a re-emerging

iron ore sector are attracting global exploration and

production companies.

About 30 developing projects are providing

opportunities for co-investment with a significant

number having initiated pre-feasibility and final

feasibility studies and mining lease proposals.

Over the past 10 years, $4.2 billion in exploration

investment has generated mineral discoveries, mines

and petroleum well-fields leading to $11.8 billion in

private new capital expenditure.

Resource sector metrics during 2013-2014:

• Combined private expenditure on mineral and

petroleum exploration reached $647.6 million,

up from $617 million in 2012-13

• Petroleum exploration expenditure also rose sharply

to reach a record $531 million (a three-fold rise in

two years)

• Mineral and petroleum exports totalled $4.8 billion,

comprising 39 per cent of state merchandise exports

• Mineral and petroleum production reached a record

$7.5 billion, including $1.9 billion for petroleum and

$5.6 billion for minerals

• Private new capital expenditure totalled $1.8 billion.

South Australia possesses 70 per cent of Australia’s

economic demonstrated resources of copper, almost

30 per cent of its demonstrated resources of gold and

80 per cent of its uranium resources, with significant

potential for the long-term production of these

key commodities.

Oil and gas activity is enjoying a renaissance with the

number of petroleum wells drilled in 2014 likely to reach

an all-time high. Interest in the onshore basins and the

Commonwealth waters offshore is expected to attract

$5.8 billion in investment in the period to 2020.

The Cooper-Eromanga basins have attracted leading

companies, ideas and technologies delivering excellent

metrics for oil discovery, making it one of the most

productive onshore oil provinces in Australia.

The Cooper Basin is among the world’s best for

prospective gas resources in unconventional reservoirs.

MINERALS AND ENERGY

Prospects in the basin and elsewhere have been

identified and assessed as a result of the state’s

Roadmap for Unconventional Gas Projects in South

Australia, which is supported by the 540-member

Roundtable for Oil and Gas industry network.

The State Government’s Plan for Accelerating

Exploration (PACE) continues to create opportunities

for exploration and mining, underpinning resource

searches and providing strategies to facilitate world-

class mineral and energy developments. In 10 years

the initiative has led to 15 significant discoveries and

has leveraged an extra $700 million in private mineral

investment, resulting in an increase in state mining

production of $2.4 billion for an expenditure of less

than $50 million.

Efficient approval and assessment policies and a

sophisticated industry and workforce base also support

the sector’s growth.

Partnerships between resource companies, research

institutions, service businesses and government in

the new Mining and Petroleum Services Centre of

Excellence, the State Drill Core Reference Library

at Tonsley, the Deep Exploration Technologies

Cooperative Research Centre and other collaborative

centres continue to generate opportunities for

innovative, science-based sustainable development.

Great Australian Bight the next oil and gas exploration frontierBP SAYS ITS PLANS TO EXPLORE FOR OIL AND GAS OFF SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S COASTLINE ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO DELIVER LASTING BENEFITS FOR THE STATE.

CASE STUDY

P 17

BP plans to search for oil and gas in the Great Australian

Bight (GAB) with an exploration drilling campaign to

begin in 2016, subject to regulatory approval, with

its joint venture partner Statoil. BP as operator has a

70 per cent investment and Statoil 30 per cent.

Between now and 2016, BP will prepare detailed plans

and supporting documentation, such as an Environment

Plan, which will assess and respond to environmental

issues. The company will also invest in infrastructure

to support the project. Some of these investments are

expected to deliver lasting benefits to South Australia.

Both Port Adelaide and the Ceduna Airport will receive

infrastructure upgrades. BP’s marine supply base to

support exploration drilling in the Great Australian Bight

will operate from Port Adelaide, subject to council and

other approvals.

The marine supply base will cater for onshore logistics-

based activities to service offshore exploration drilling

activities. The base will resource Offshore Supply Vessels

(OSVs) with the necessary materials and equipment

for offshore operations. This includes the loading

and unloading of equipment and materials required

offshore, or returning from offshore, using cranes for all

deck cargo. There will also be provision for the storage

and maintenance of drilling pipe (tubulars) and related

equipment, together with other consumables and

materials used in the drilling operations.

Ceduna will be the primary location for aviation, and

will benefit from a new helipad, passenger terminal and

hangars (subject to approvals) with an alternate landing

strip on the Eyre Peninsula also under consideration.

Bristow Group has been awarded the rotary wing

contract that will support BP’s initial exploration drilling

activities in the Bight. In addition to supplying aircraft

and crews to move people and critical material offshore,

Bristow will manage helicopter operations from Ceduna,

as well as dedicated search and rescue services.

The fleet will consist of one Eurocopter EC225 as the

primary helicopter and two Sikorsky S92s. One of the

S92s will be a dedicated search and rescue helicopter –

the first of its kind in Australia.

BP hopes to have both its aviation and marine supply

bases completed by the end of 2015.

BP has also secured a new-build rig for use in the GAB,

with Diamond Offshore Drilling awarded the three-year

drilling contract for initial operations. The rig is specially

designed for use in deep water and harsh marine

environments.

BP has opened an Industry Capability Network portal to

engage with the local supply chain, and is encouraging

potential suppliers to register at the ICN portal and stay

informed of local opportunities.

The company is also funding a $20 million program

to investigate and publish new knowledge about the

region’s ecosystem. The Great Australian Bight Research

Program is a collaboration between BP, CSIRO, the South

Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI),

the University of Adelaide and Flinders University.

Claire Fitzpatrick, Managing Director, Exploration

and Production Australia says that if the exploration

program is successful, the development of a

hydrocarbon province in the GAB could substantially

contribute to South Australia’s economy through

construction, employment and ancillary opportunities

for local businesses.

However, she noted that according to Geoscience

Australia, in the period 1955 to 2011, 4,248 conventional

exploration wells were drilled in onshore and offshore

Australia. Of those 4,248 wells, 1,200 were considered

as ‘discoveries‘, representing a 28 per cent success rate.

“So you can see that our investment in exploration

in the GAB is by no means assured of success,”

Ms Fitzpatrick said. “But BP has had decades of

experience in deep water and we are committed

to our exploration program in the region.

“And we are excited about our work with CSIRO,

SARDI and Adelaide’s universities in creating new

understandings of the Great Australian Bight.”

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROJECTS IN ADELAIDE AND REGIONAL CENTRES CONTINUE TO DRIVE ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

The Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan will guide coordinated development in South Australia for decades to come.

It establishes the most effective means of linking people to places while making sure that South Australians share opportunities forged through connections between business and markets.

Planning reforms introduced for the city and inner metropolitan areas have fostered development and support inner-city business and lifestyle opportunities, with about $6.2 billion in investment planned or underway.

The planning reforms are also stimulating housing development, improving infrastructure and generating jobs.

Following extensive state-wide engagement, the Expert Panel on Planning Reform will deliver its final report to the government in December 2014. Implementation of its recommendations will revitalise the planning system, building on its internationally renowned foundations to meet users’ needs today and for future generations.

Growth areas such as Playford in northern Adelaide, the development of transport corridors across the metropolitan area, and strategic tourism assets such as Kangaroo Island, the Barossa and McLaren Vale are the focus of policies to protect and improve regions’ unique characteristics.

Potential uses for the existing Royal Adelaide Hospital site in central Adelaide are being investigated. Industry, community and governments are engaged in the conversation about the best use of the site after health services relocate to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, scheduled for 2016.

New oval kicking goals for state’s economyADELAIDE OVAL HAS ATTRACTED CRICKET FANS AND OTHER SPORTS LOVERS FOR GENERATIONS. NOW ITS $535 MILLION REDEVELOPMENT IS STIMULATING A REBIRTH OF ADELAIDE’S RIVERBANK PRECINCT AS THE FOCUS OF INNER-CITY ENTERTAINMENT AND LIFESTYLE ACTIVITIES.

CASE STUDY

P 21

In 2009, the South Australian Government

committed the funds to redevelop Adelaide Oval

as a world-class sports venue. Construction began

in early 2012 on a stadium that now hosts cricket,

Australian rules football and A-League soccer

matches; other major sports; and a range of musical

and performance events.

The Rolling Stones performed at the Oval on

25 October, showcasing the redevelopment as an

international standard concert venue.

The upgrade increased the oval’s capacity from

34,000 to 53,500, including seating on the northern

mound for 3,000 and standing room for 3,500.

The western stand has 14,000 seats, the southern

Riverbank Stand 14,000 and the eastern stand

19,000 seats.

Protecting the heritage and beauty of

Adelaide Oval has been a major concern in

the refurbishment designs and during the

redevelopment process. The revamped northern

mound has 2,100 sqm of grass, complemented by

almost 900 sqm of timber decking that winds its

way through the Moreton Bay fig trees to create

a unique viewing platform.

people in South Australia and across the country

now consider Adelaide Oval to be not just about

football or cricket.

“It’s being utilised and embraced by the people of

South Australia and has become a vibrant hub of

activity in the heart of the city,” Mr Daniels said.

“This is a world-class asset that will be used year-

round. The redevelopment started as a bold vision

and has now turned into a bold reality that has

improved South Australia’s ability to be a legitimate

player when bidding for international events.”

The famous heritage scoreboard has been retained,

while carefully designed gaps in the architecture

in the north and east ensure the oval retains its

pavilion character and remains integrated into the

surrounding parklands.

Since cricket returned to the ground in November

2013, the oval has hosted Australian Football

League games, A-League soccer, and international

and national men’s and women’s cricket matches.

Adelaide’s two AFL teams, the Adelaide Crows and

Port Adelaide, attracted attendances of more than

one million to their 22 home-and-away matches

during the first season of first-class football to be

played at Adelaide Oval since 1973. The average

crowd was about 15,000 more than the average

attendance at AAMI Stadium, the teams’ former

base, in 2013, evidence of the appeal of watching

football at a city venue.

The construction of the Riverbank Bridge,

connecting the central business district (CBD),

Festival Centre and Adelaide Convention Centre

with the oval and North Adelaide, has encouraged

people to use public transport to attend events

at the oval.

Since the Adelaide Oval redevelopment the city’s

restaurants, bars, retailers and other businesses

have reported strong increases in trade and football

fans flood city streets before and after games. It has

brought an extra one million people into the heart

of Adelaide, resulting in an estimated $138 million

in revenue in the CBD, and created 465 jobs.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA IS SERIOUS ABOUT DEFENCE – A SECTOR CREATING LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT, ATTRACTING SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT AND DRIVING INNOVATION IN A RANGE OF INDUSTRIES AND CENTRES ACROSS THE STATE.

South Australia is home to a critical mass of world-class industry that delivers many of defence’s largest and most complex projects.

It also possesses a large and varied defence presence with key Air Force, Army, Navy and Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) elements.

The state’s commitment to the defence sector is unmatched across the nation and includes significant investment in state-of-the-art infrastructure and a highly skilled, industry-ready workforce.

Defence and aligned industries and businesses base their operations in South Australia knowing it is a state that supports them and their investment.

Defence SA is South Australia’s lead government agency for all defence matters and the nation’s only stand-alone state defence organisation. It provides a single, focused and proactive contact point for the defence sector, streamlining interaction across government.

It continues to leverage the state’s strengths in naval shipbuilding and sustainment, aircraft support and component manufacture, military vehicle manufacture and support, electronic warfare and systems integration to stimulate industry growth and attract additional defence activity to South Australia.

With world-class infrastructure, a robust defence industry and a critical mass of highly skilled workers, South Australia is well placed and remains strongly committed to helping the Australian Defence Force defend Australia and its national interests.

DEFENCE

The contract with the Royal Australian Navy requires the

AWD Alliance – lead shipbuilder ASC, mission systems

integrator Raytheon Australia and the Commonwealth

Government through the Defence Materiel Organisation

– to deliver three Hobart Class destroyers.

During peak years, the AWD project has contributed as

much as $300 million a year to South Australia’s economy.

Currently, 1,900 of the 3,000 people working on the

project across Australia are based in South Australia.

An AWD will be capable of defending and destroying

missiles and aircraft within a 150-km range.

While air defence is the destroyers’ primary role, the

ships’ combat system also enables them to engage with

surface and underwater targets. Underwater sensors

include a hull-mounted sonar and a variable-depth

towed sonar.

Ship 1 is the future destroyer Hobart and will be one

of the world’s most capable multi-purpose warships.

It is scheduled for delivery in 2016, with the last ship –

Sydney – to be delivered in 2019.

Consolidation of Hobart involved joining 31 blocks

on the hardstand at the Techport Australia Common

User Facility in Adelaide. Work is now underway on the

internal fitout, including installing diesel generators,

main propulsion diesel engines, gas turbines, gearboxes,

electrical switchboards and accommodation apartments.

Accommodation products support the living needs

of those onboard the destroyer and include cabin

modules, furniture, galley, pantry, refrigerated spaces

and laundry equipment.

The process of loading the destroyer’s combat system

is also underway. In April 2014, six strike-length missile

modules for the Vertical Launch System (VLS) were

installed. The VLS MK41 modules enable the destroyers

to execute air warfare and ship self-defence tasks.

The keel-laying ceremony for the second ship, Brisbane,

was conducted in February 2014. Blocks are being

produced by BAE Systems in Victoria and Forgacs in

New South Wales, as well as by ASC at Techport.

Port Adelaide company MG Engineering has

manufactured and delivered the mast for all three

destroyers.

While construction and assembly of the ships continue,

the training systems that will be used to teach

instructors and, later, Hobart crew members are being

developed and tested. Initial training programs on the

Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) training

simulator in the Maritime Skills Centre at Techport

demonstrate the capabilities of the ship’s systems and

develop the skills of the instructors.

The IPMS’s software allows for real-time control of

functions such as propulsion, steering and damage

control. It is one of several simulators and appliances

that will be used when crews begin training in 2015.

MILLIONA YEAR


SOUTH AUSTRALIA CONTINUES TO INVEST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS DRAWING GLOBAL ATTENTION.

The impact on the state’s social and economic outlook of projects in sectors as diverse as health, defence, education, transport, renewable energy and mining extends across urban and regional communities.

The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure’s recent capital program includes the completed South Road Superway, the duplication of the Southern Expressway and the redevelopment of Adelaide Oval. The South Road upgrade continues with the new Torrens Road to River Torrens section north-west of Adelaide’s central business district and work progressing at Darlington in the southern suburbs.

Public transport continues to be a focus with delivery of the first electric rail services to Adelaide on the Seaford line in early 2014, and a range of new park and rides and interchanges.

Adelaide’s Riverbank precinct continues to attract infrastructure investment, with Stage 2 of the Adelaide Convention Centre extension contributing to its reshaping as a 21st-century entertainment hub.

Government continues to work with industry to facilitate the development of projects to enable industry, and particularly mining, to move product to the world’s markets, and to secure the reliable provision of essential services such as water and electricity to urban and remote centres.

South Australia’s status as ‘the driest state in the driest inhabited continent’ has demanded an intensive focus on exploring any and all opportunities for capturing new and maximising existing water assets – particularly to support the state’s significant agriculture sector.

Research and the commercialisation of concepts to address the state’s water priorities have led to the creation of innovative businesses with expertise in irrigation practices, desalination, stormwater capture and reuse, the recycling of treated wastewater and other fields.

South Australia’s water sector is now well placed to help governments, communities and businesses in Australia and around the world identify and manage concerns related to water and waste water security and supply.

INVESTMENT IN ROAD TRANSPORT


The project involves a 3.7-km section of South Road that

when upgraded will include a 2.5-km stretch of non-stop

travel. Major construction is expected to begin in 2015.

A feature of the $896 million ‘Torrens to Torrens’ project

is a lowered road under Port and Grange roads that

will allow local residents and users, commuters and

freight vehicles to pass through the area. The lowered

carriageway will provide three lanes in each direction,

and is designed to address the future transport needs

of a growing population.

It will address congestion issues within a section of

South Road that intersects with major Port Road and

Grange Road thoroughfares and the Outer Harbor

rail line, and improve safety along the narrow section

between Torrens Road and Port Road.

The project is one component of the North-South

Corridor road network, an enormous project that is

transforming South Australia’s road transport system,

cutting travelling times and costs, and improving freight

routes and safety for road users.

The corridor extends from expanding areas in Adelaide’s

north – including the near-city agricultural and wine-

producing regions and the defence precincts – to Tonsley,

Darlington and the Fleurieu Peninsula to the south.

Construction of the $5.6 billion network and associated

development and upgrades to other major traffic

and freight routes are part of the South Australian

Government’s $10.3 billion investment in road transport.

The Commonwealth Government is providing 50 per

cent of the Torrens to Torrens project funding.

In conjunction with other projects outlined in The

Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan, released in

October 2013, the North-South Corridor boosts public

and business confidence in coordinated and integrated

land use and transport planning and investment.

Completed transport projects along the corridor and

across the metropolitan area include the:

• $118 million Gallipoli Underpass

• $32 million Glenelg Tram Overpass

• $564 million Northern Expressway

• $842 million South Road Superway.

The $407.5 million Southern Expressway Duplication

is nearing completion and $620 million has been

allocated to the planned Darlington upgrade.

These projects are supporting the provision and use

of public transport, connecting business and industry

centres and export hubs, and contributing to policies

aimed at developing healthy suburbs and urban

communities across South Australia. As elements of the

corridor project, they share consistent design standards

and features that boost community certainty and

aesthetic appeal.

HEALTH AND EDUCATION SERVICES HELP SOUTH AUSTRALIANS OF ALL AGES ENJOY HEALTHY AND SATISFYING LIVES. THESE IMPORTANT COMMUNITY SERVICES ALSO INFLUENCE CAREER AND LIFESTYLE CHOICES FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

The Department for Education and Child Development (DECD) works with communities, non-government partners, universities and businesses to influence learning, development and wellbeing, especially of those most vulnerable in South Australia’s community. Investment in education is considered vital for the wellbeing and prosperity of future generations of South Australians and for the development of a skilled workforce.

Since October 2011, DECD has been the government agency responsible for public education and the care of children and young people from their early years through to the end of their secondary schooling. It oversees child protection and family wellbeing through Families SA, and health services for children and their families through the Child and Family Health Service (CAFHS).

Healthy child development and wellbeing is one of the South Australian Government’s seven strategic priorities. The Every chance for every child strategy aims to create a better South Australia by investing in the early years of childhood, as well as committing to children and young people at all ‘ages and stages’.

The government is committed to ensuring that the state’s 180,000 public school students have access to quality learning environments and technology. More than $1 billion has been invested during the past decade to improve school infrastructure, with six new schools built and others reshaped and modernised.

The emphasis on education and research has contributed to South Australia’s international reputation as a centre for medical research and training capabilities, and for the provision of world-class health care and treatments.

South Australia’s Health Care Plan 2007-16 provides a platform for reform of the health sector, including investment in major city and country hospitals. It has been developed to ensure future health challenges are addressed, with particular attention to supporting South Australia’s ageing population.

The commitment to best-practice treatment and care is aligned to the rebuilding and expansion of the Lyell McEwin Hospital in Elizabeth Vale, north-east of central Adelaide. The work is due for completion in mid-2015.

Hospital (RAH), which will offer South Australians a

world-class health facility and provide 800 beds, state-

of-the-art operating theatres, intensive-care beds and

emergency services in the heart of Adelaide by 2016.

The new RAH’s services will be complemented by

research activity at the adjacent South Australian Health

and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI). A proposal to

relocate the Women’s and Children’s Hospital from its

current site in North Adelaide to a new site adjacent to

the new RAH is being investigated.

In addition to its funding allocation for the new RAH,

the State Government has provided about $230 million

in 2014-15 for new health facilities across the state as

part of its capital investment strategy.

Health-related investment in regional areas is being

boosted with new dental clinics becoming operational

in Murray Bridge and in the redevelopment of the

Port Lincoln and Mt Gambier hospitals. Other projects

include new ambulance stations at Noarlunga and

Northfield, programs to improve cancer treatment

facilities and the ongoing development of GP Plus

Health Care Centres and Super Clinics across the state.

Investment in South Australia’s mental health services

and infrastructure will continue, with the redevelopment

of James Nash House – due for completion in mid-2015

– providing 20 more specialist mental health beds. Two

Community Mental Health Centres are being built at

Modbury and Noarlunga in 2014-15.


The future of health and medical researchRESEARCH WITHIN THE NEW SOUTH AUSTRALIAN HEALTH AND MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (SAHMRI) IN CENTRAL ADELAIDE IS DISCOVERING MEDICINES, TREATMENTS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

CASE STUDY

P 33


SAHMRI’s research facility, opened in November 2013, is

attracting international attention both for its spectacular

façade and for the calibre and scale of research activity

being conducted behind its unique ‘skin’.

More than 600 local and international medical and

scientific researchers are exploring seven key research

themes that respond to long-term and emerging global

health and development needs: Aboriginal Health;

Cancer; Healthy Mothers, Babies and Children; Heart

Health; Infection and Immunity; Mind and Brain; and

Nutrition and Metabolism.

The SAHMRI facility is the first completed structure

within a $3 billion health and biomedical precinct

being developed in central Adelaide. Over the next four

years it is expected to be joined by a proposed second

SAHMRI research building, two multi-storey medical

research and training facilities, and the new Royal

Adelaide Hospital – an 800-bed nexus for the state’s

provision of health care, currently under construction

and due to open in 2016.

SAHMRI was incorporated as the state’s first independent

flagship health and medical research institute in

December 2009, responding to a recommendation

in a State Government-commissioned report for a

dedicated flagship research body for South Australia.

Five years later, housed within its unique new building,

SAHMRI is becoming known as a centre of excellence

for research to improve the health and wellbeing of

people and communities.

Research projects build on South Australia’s long-

standing and globally regarded expertise in health-

related research within the University of Adelaide,

Flinders University and University of South Australia,

He says recruitment campaigns are supported by

researchers understanding that they will work within

a new purpose-designed structure.

The design team, led by Woods Bagot, created

a structure that promotes collaboration and

partnerships within the institute, the South Australian

Health and Biomedical Precinct and with partners

across Adelaide. It can accommodate more than 600

researchers, with nine flexible wet and dry laboratory

modules, the Cyclotron and public areas.

Inspired by the skin of a pine cone, the building’s

surface responds to its environment in a similar way

to a living organism to deal with sunlight, heat load,

glare, and wind deflection, while maintaining views

and daylight for a healthier internal environment.

and collaboration with organisations including the

Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research

Organisation (CSIRO), Australian Cancer Research

Foundation, Cancer Council SA, the Heart Foundation,

and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory,

Europe’s focus of life sciences research.

SAHMRI’s Executive Director, Professor Steve Wesselingh,

says a major aim is to attract research funding from

within and outside Australia. Already more than

$45 million has been earned for projects aligned to

the seven research themes.

“Research themes have been chosen to fill gaps in

global health and medical knowledge, with a view to

then applying that knowledge through extensive and

interactive community engagement and education

programs,” Professor Wesselingh said.

For example, he says, Cancer Council SA and SA Health

have together invested $20 million over five years in

the ‘Beat Cancer Project’, established to increase cancer

research in South Australia by seed funding of research

projects; maintaining and increasing capacity of the

cancer research workforce; providing infrastructure;

and supporting the translation of research outcomes to

health policy, clinical practice and other areas of health

service delivery in the state.

SAHMRI also houses the state’s first Cyclotron – or particle

accelerator – in the basement. The Cyclotron makes

radioactive tracers used in cancer-detecting scans.

“SAHMRI’s research themes recognise the local world-

leading scientific knowledge and researchers we have in

South Australia, which in turn has attracted some of the

finest health and medical researchers from around the

world to join the SAHMRI team,” Professor Wesselingh said.

THE GROWING WORLD DEMAND FOR HIGH-QUALITY FOOD AND WINE COMBINED WITH SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S STRONG REPUTATION FOR FOOD SAFETY, BIOSECURITY AND PRODUCT INTEGRITY ARE CREATING SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS.

Whether it’s wheat and barley from the Eyre Peninsula, Shiraz from the Barossa Valley or prawns from the Spencer Gulf, our food and wine ranks with the best in the world.

The state’s food and wine industries generate approximately $16.3 billion in revenue a year, employ about one in five working South Australians, and account for more than 40 per cent of the state’s merchandise exports.

For the past decade, agriculture, forestry and fishing have comprised the fastest-growing sector in the South Australian economy. Food manufacturing is also a rapidly growing area, and is the only major manufacturing sector to feature increases in employment in the last 17 years.

The South Australian Government is supporting the state’s food and wine industries through the Premium food and wine from our clean environment priority, one of the seven strategic priorities introduced in 2012.

In September 2013, the Premium Food and Wine from Our Clean Environment Action Plan was released. The action plan provides a framework for the State Government and industry to take advantage of the opportunities and address the challenges faced by the sector. The projects and milestones in the action plan are updated regularly.

The following programs are expected to be of significant economic importance to the strategic priority:

• The South Australian River Murray Sustainability Program (SARMS) is a $265 million program funded by the Australian Government and delivered by the State Government through Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA). It is expected to revitalise the Murraylands and Riverland irrigated horticulture sectors; support farmers, growers and producers; create jobs; and provide new opportunities for local businesses, resulting in an estimated $1 billion in economic activity in the region each year.

• The New Horizons Program aims to increase productivity in the $7.9 billion a year field crop and livestock sectors through improving poor-performing soils. Early results are showing average yield increases of 70 per cent, with potential yield increases of between 100 per cent and 400 per cent. Current investment provides the basis for a broader program that has the potential to realise an annual increase in production of $800 million across the sectors.

In August 2014, the State Government renewed its commitment to South Australia’s food and wine industries, particularly the need to increase overseas exports, by introducing the Premium food and wine produced in our clean environment and exported to the world economic priority, one of 10 such priorities aimed at unlocking South Australia’s economic potential.

The PIRSA-led priorities recognise the importance to South Australia’s future of a globally competitive food and wine sector, and focus on activities to secure markets, foster innovation and encourage the sustainable use of resources.

PREMIUM FOOD AND WINE

Further growth in primary production and processing,

the adoption of new technologies and realising an

increased value for premium produce will increase the

contribution food and wine industries make to the

state’s economy.

Centres of excellence in food and agricultural research

and production will provide the platform from which

ideas, intellectual capital, products and services are

exported to the world.

Maintaining the state’s leadership in biosecurity,

production integrity and food safety standards is critical

in achieving these outcomes. For example, South

Australia is the only Australian mainland state that is

fruit fly free, and one of the few places in the world free

of the vine-destroying pest phylloxera making South

Australian products stand out in international markets

that value clean and safe food and wine.

To help maintain the state’s fruit fly-free status,

the government is investing $3 million in a sterile

insect technology facility and research initiative at

Port Augusta, to develop a line of male-only sterile

Queensland fruit flies. The sterile flies will be produced

commercially and used to eradicate outbreaks interstate.

D’VineRipe Tomatoes is a leading producer creating

jobs through embracing the latest in sustainable and

efficient primary production.

The company, based at Two Wells north of Adelaide,

announced in August 2014 a $42 million upgrade of

its glasshouse operations, which when completed

will make the glasshouse the largest facility of its type

in Australia.

The 8.2 hectare expansion will increase production by

nearly 25 per cent and create 150 full-time jobs.

Since commencing operations in 2007, D’VineRipe

currently has grown so that it now has 27 hectares of

glasshouse and employs 400 people.

During the previous first three stages of its development,

the South Australian Government provided support

with necessary infrastructure such as natural gas, water

and electricity upgrades along with grant support.

D’VineRipe has been at the forefront of technical

innovation since its inception. The new expansion

includes the introduction of Kubo’s Ultra-Clima

technology, allowing for greater control of the

atmospheric conditions inside the glasshouse and

using less energy.

The resulting consistency in temperature is expected to

achieve a more consistent fruit load, better production

and better disease tolerance.

The company also plans to introduce technology that

will allow it to substantially replace fossil fuels with a

renewable energy source.
