Date Time
Steel jobs remain in South Australia
In a boost to local employment, jobs associated with the supply of steel for the Gawler Rail Electrification Project have remained in South Australia, despite the collapse of SA Structural earlier this year.
Local company Genis Steel is now delivering essential steel structures for GREP with installation occurring during the April school holidays and was able to take on some of the staff who lost their jobs when SA Structural shut down.
The $715 million Gawler Rail Electrification Project, funded by the Australian and South Australian governments, requires the installation of structures to support the overhead wiring.
Date Time
More buses and express services for northern commuters
Extra express bus services have been added to the timetable for commuters traveling between Gawler and the city to provide increased frequency and reduce travel time.
From late April, two express services from Gawler to Adelaide will operate in the AM peak period while three express services will operate between Adelaide and Salisbury during the AM and PM peak travel periods.
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Corey Wingard, said the additional services will be in place until the Gawler Rail Electrification Project, which is supporting around 535 jobs, is complete at the end of the year.
