At the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure, we're working
together to connect the people, businesses and places of South Australia.
Our goal is to help improve the way South Australians live, move and work.
We're working with the community to deliver effective planning policy, efficient
transport and valuable social and economic infrastructure, shaping the
South Australia of today and tomorrow.
A growing economy needs to be able to move goods quickly and efficiently.
We're helping businesses better connect with customers. Through road
we've made it easier and safer for heavy vehicles to move throughout the state,
making it easier for freight trains to move important cargo interstate,
planning for the future of South Australia's ports.
Through careful planning, we'll continue to make that possible, while enhancing South Australia's standing
as a great place to live.
A vibrant community needs a reliable, accessible and fully integrated public transport system.
We're making it easier for passengers to get travel information
as it happens and with stations and bus stops progressively updated to include
screens with real-time information.
Through upgrades on our rail lines, O-Bahn and tram networks, we're making public transport easier to access
and more efficient, while reducing the impacts on other road users.
As we move towards higher-density living, public transport will become an even
more important part of how we build communities and move between them.
We're building a better way of moving through Adelaide and throughout the
state, making it easier for road users to negotiate major intersections.
Road and rail, cars, bikes and public transport working together, not in competition with each other.
We're putting in place network-wide moving-traffic plans, better
coordinating traffic signals, travel signs and giving live traffic
information, encouraging more cyclists, and further enhancing the public
transport system to ease congestion on the roads, and delivering easy access to
key tourist destinations and enabling quicker, more efficient freight movement.
We're investing in safer roads as we work towards zero together, by safety
improvements and regular maintenance of roads throughout the state.
We're separating road and rail lines to reduce the likelihood of crashes and
upgrading pedestrian crossings along our rail lines.
We're committed to making worksites safe for all our staff, and a safer community for all.
Safety is an important part in everything we do, making sure mums and dads and boys and
girls go home to their family free of injury.
We're planning for the South Australia of tomorrow by investing today, to ensure a better connected, more
sustainable future. The department's positioning South
Australia to meet the challenges of a changing world and embrace the
opportunities that brings - building Adelaide's growing reputation as a smart
city with enormous capacity for innovation. helping South Australia to be
at the forefront of innovation in new industries such as renewable energy,
education and clean technology, while building on our great strengths in
premium food and wine, primary production,
manufacturing, defence industries and tourism.
We're living in one of the best regions in the world today and working hard to
make sure we sustain and enhance that reputation. Our 30-year plan will provide
greater housing diversity and choice, feature world-class design and vibrancy
and encourage active, healthy, safe and connected communities.
We're working towards making Adelaide CBD carbon neutral, partnering with communities
throughout the state to create safe public spaces, which promotes cycling
walking and outdoors activities, and helping South Australia's athletes
compete with the best in the world.
All these pieces - freight, transport, safety, growth, community - join together as one
cohesive plan to improve the lives of all South Australians every day.
