Yep my missus told me that yesterday and I almost fell over.

Cool I'm going to drive on it even though I have no idea where it goes

Not SA but announced yesterday by the QLD Government - Toowoomba Bypass to be completed in 2019. Construction to take 4 years. Cost of 1.2 Billion. Be a toll of ex amount of dollars for heavy vehicles , passenger vehicles are exempted on this road for a toll.

This cuts out 16 set of traffic lights and heavy vehicles can bypass the Toowoomba range finally. Notorious stretch of road, if you remember the old Devils elbow section of the SE Freeway. This is worse than that.

Welcomed news for vehicles using the Warrego/ Gore / New England highways and the local community. New International status Airport to be built for Toowoomba also, so things are look up for the Darling downs area of Queensland.

Maybe its time for SA to catch up with the rest of the country with some toll roads. Should start by going underground from the tollgate to Wingfield for trucks to bypass the suburbs.

It goes South on one side, North on the other.

I love Anne "Moron" Moran. Anyone who can stay on a council for so long whilst perhaps being a sharp as goat deserves some praise. I mean the stuff she comes out with is fantastic.

When I lived in Melbourne I avoided all toll roads, on principle, but I could afford to because I could also avoid travelling in peak hours.

At one time the company running the east-west toll road was trying to get the government to close off other roads to the city from the east and force more traffic on to the toll roads. I gather they were not happy with the returns on the capital cost - tunnelling is expensive.

It would probably be cheaper to move Wingfield to Glen Osmond

A relevant press release:

Major projects continue to flow across the State
Premier Jay Weatherill has released the 2014-15 Major Developments Directory detailing 326
South Australian projects worth $94.7 billion underway or in the pipeline.
Mr Weatherill said the developments listed in this year’s directory demonstrate investor
confidence in South Australia’s future.
“Independent modelling by the South Australian Centre for Economic Studies estimates that
the total number of new direct and indirect new jobs resulting from 84 of these new projects will
peak at 10,400 jobs in 2015-16, should they all proceed,” Mr Weatherill said.
“And 65 projects listed in last year’s directory and worth more than $3.5 billion are now
completed.”
Of the 326 projects listed in this year’s directory, 88 were new projects including:
• North South Corridor - Darlington Upgrade - $620 million
• Playford Council’s Elizabeth CBD redevelopment - $400 million
• Flinders University Plaza, Redevelopment and Student Hub project - $63 million
• SA Water Aldinga Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity Upgrade - $62.86 million
• Victor Smorgon Group, Como Glasshouse Expansion (d’VineRipe) - $42 million
• Beerenberg expansion and upgrade - $20 million
Of the $94.6 billion value, more than one-third (nearly 38 per cent) comes from the minerals
and energy resources sector.
“These are projects that are operating businesses, education facilities training the next
generation of students and graduates, or hard and soft infrastructure serving the needs of our
businesses and communities,” Mr Weatherill said.
“These projects promise to continue this South Australia’s long history in supplying the
minerals and energy sources required by communities all over the world.
“Despite the economic challenges being faced by some investors, minerals and energy
projects operating in South Australia produced resources valued at a record $7.5 billion in
2013-14, up by more than 20 per cent in dollar terms than in the previous year.
“My message to the global business community is that South Australia is open for business –
from within our own state, from across Australia, from around the world.”

I wonder when he will admit that "creating" jobs is actually maintaining jobs
Any construction project has a limited life span
Is he going to announce that 2000 construction workers dont have a job when the RAH is finished in 2015-16 or will just move onto these new projects?
Finger in the dyke and more spin

lol my good mate Anne Moron was in the Advertiser again today. Stating what she likes and does not like.

Seriously one group of people can bring these projects to a halt , comical. Moron would get a real shock if she moved to Brisbane. None of this jumping through hoops to pitch a tent like in North Adelaide

dont understand why developers would and persist in trying to develop things in adelaide with this council crowd being stuck up

I think he state government needs to take over he planning of the Lecornu site. Its getting to a point that something just needs to be built there.

dont know why people complain about toll roads. Most problems seem to be that "you are paying for use of a road where your rego and on road costs should be enough". Yes i agree, but if you use a toll road, its less in stop starting traffic, which means less fuel used. It works out the same if not cheaper IMO. Get there quicker, spend more time with family and friends instead of sitting in traffic burning fuel

Thats my opinion anyway

Well no but its better than the current idiots in charge.

Heck maybe we just leave it as a empty lot, so when the apes take over they do it properly [emoji6]
