South Australian Major Projects Conference 2010
"Delivering South Australia's Major Projects - Its all part of the Plan"

WELCOME MESSAGE FROM

Deputy Chief Executive
Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure and Department for Planning and Local Government presents.

South Australian Major Projects Conference 2010
“Delivering South Australia's Major Projects - Its all part of the Plan”

The State Government’s vision for the next three decades as outlined in the 30-year Plan for Greater Adelaide is to position Adelaide as a city that is recognised worldwide as liveable, competitive and resilient to climate change.

Supporting the 30-year Plan is the Strategic Infrastructure Plan for SA (SIPSA) released in April 2005, which sets out South Australia’s priorities for the development of key infrastructure across the State.

This plan has facilitated a boom in infrastructure investment, with more than 80 per cent of the projects listed in 2005 either completed or underway.

The value of major developments in South Australia now stands at a record $71.5 billion which in turn means greater investment, more jobs and growing prosperity for South Australia.

The South Australian Major Projects Conference '10 will be held on the 27 and 28 July 2010 at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

With so much happening in South Australia, this conference will provide you with an opportunity to explore the design, planning, construction and implementation of major projects currently underway or in the pipeline.

This includes projects such as the $291 million Seaford rail extension, which is part of a $2.6 billion revitalisation of Adelaide’s public transport network, the $1.8 desalination plant, the $812 million South Road Superway and the $1.7 billion new Royal Adelaide Hospital.

The conference will also enable you to see how investment in sustainable transport, urban planning and infrastructure solutions is transforming South Australia into the place to live, work and do business.

I look forward to seeing you at the South Australian Major Projects Conference '10.

With the recent release in figures by the Premier Mike Rann, it has been stated that the value of major developments in South Australia stands at a record $71.5 billion which in turn means greater investment, more jobs and growing prosperity for South Australia.

It will cover areas of Transport, Water, Energy, Defence, Urban Planning, Sustainability, and the overall State Development.

Presentations from leading government and industry specialists will explore the design, planning, construction and implementation of major projects as well as a strategic analysis of the opportunities and challenges that will define these ambitious expansion for accelerating South Australia’s development.

The conference will provide its delegates with the perfect opportunity to discuss topics and issues presented and provide a fantastic networking opportunity where they can all learn of the latest projects in place, share experiences and lessons learned.
