The Strategic Infrastructure Plan for South Australia presents the first major step forward in developing a more coordinated long-term approach to infrastructure provision throughout the state. It provides an overarching state framework for the planning and delivery of infrastructure by all government and private sector infrastructure providers. Strategic priorities for the period between 2005-06 to 2014-15 are identified for 14 infrastructure sectors.
The plan also presents opportunities for the improved management and use of the state's existing infrastructure assets as well as options for managing demand better so as to defer costly capital expenditure.
The Regional Overview of the plan presents infrastructure priorities located throughout the state. The state government consulted closely with Regional Development Boards and Local Government Associations to present an assessment of infrastructure issues in seven state regions.
Implementation of the plan will proceed through the adoption of a five-step approach to developing and assessing infrastructure proposals as a strategic basis for funding decisions. It will also involve a fresh approach to the way in which the government deals with the private sector to meet the state's infrastructure requirements.
The regional section of the plan provides a framework to assist local communities to become more involved in deciding on infrastructure priorities for their region and in planning for and managing their infrastructure assets.
The plan does not imply any delivery commitment from either government or the private sector, or any funding obligations, for any specific project. Decisions on matters such as priority, funding and delivery mechanisms will be decided by the state government and/or other appropriate authorities when projects have been properly defined and substantiated.
