1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Traffic on Port Rush Road and down the freeway as

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: well leading to Port Rush Road. It is of course

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: the truck route. As trucks come in and out of Adelaide,

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: they'll use the freeway, they'll use Port Rush Road, they

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: get onto Hampstead Road and down let me think Grand

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: Junction Road, they're off to Dry Creek or wherever they're heading.

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: So it's a busy road route for heavy vehicles. And

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: they'll do that in the evening, throughout the afternoon, in

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: the morning, as they come overnight, all twenty four hours

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: it seems. And if you're on those roads, particularly school

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: drop off pickup times, you know how busy it is

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: with kids cars everywhere and heavy vehicles. In terms of trucks,

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: the Burnside Council is calling for a freight bypass to

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: be built to take the trucks off the freeway and

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: off particularly Port Rush Road and everywhere else they go

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: beyond that point. The Mayor of Burnside is Anne Monceaux

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: and she joins me now Mayor, good morning, good morning

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Matthew and listeners.

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: Yes, this is a major concern not only for the

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: city of Burnside, but for about six or seven other

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: councils that where the interstate transport goes through suburbia. It

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: is the only city in Australia where the National Highway

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: one major freight transport goes through residential areas all the

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: way from down the Freeway Court Rush Road as you

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: said before, right through to Hampstead Road and Grand Junction Road,

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: and the majority of those heavy vehicles are heading north

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: or west. Certainly there are a lot that are providing

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: produced to the northern side of Adelaide. But we would

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: like to see a bypass that goes around the city

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: and around the suburbia, around suburbia bypassing all those heavy

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: areas where there are twelve schools, there's constant vehicular traffic.

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: And also according to the Aria has been over to

33
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: them who fought three seriously injured or death on that road.

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: So this is another reason for road safety and noise

35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: and air pollution.

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: As well for the residents well of course, and I

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: mean it is a busy road at the best of

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: times anyway, so there's a lot to be said in that.

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: But where would it go this bypass And of course

40
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: you'd be aware the former Marshall government had a plan

41
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: for a bypass behind the Mount Lofty Rangers and costed

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: it out and it was too expensive.

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: Well, there's no way that the highway like this, which

44
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: is a national highway, can be done by state government alone.

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: It has to be done by both a state with

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: federal support. And my ex CEO and I went to

47
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: canber to meet with Catherine King in June during the

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: National Conference to talk about the importance of the building

49
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: of this bypass, and the federal government have committed some

50
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: money to the planning for this, and I know they

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: are working very closely with our Department of Transport with

52
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: DI and did you know, really ready and raring to go.

53
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: They are communicating with the other councilors, like particularly murray

54
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: Bridge and Mid Murray because the bypass is intended to

55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: start at murray Bridge, go up through the Mid Murray

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: Council Pass, past Manemon and Sedan and then across through

57
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: Truro and come out at the back of Gawler, so

58
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: that it would miss all of those residential areas but

59
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: also actually bring in some trade to those smaller towns

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: that sorely need it with the drought and the floods

61
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: that they've encountered over the last few years.

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So it goes that that that calls

63
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: for a bridge over the Murray at some point, doesn't it.

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: No, No, No, the existing bridge is scient that doesn't

65
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: require bridge. It just they'll come across the existing bande

66
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: or turn right and head north and then then when

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: they get to before they get to Truea they head

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: west right, okay, And I mean there will still be

69
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: some heavy vehicles coming down into Adelaide, and that's essential

70
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: because they're the ones that are serving deliveries of goods

71
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: to Adelaides and for South Australia. But there are a

72
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: huge number of the six hundred thousand a year, I

73
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: think it's over two and a half thousand a day

74
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: of these trucks that go through.

75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Suburbia and you reckon, about eighty percent of them would

76
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: come off I reckon.

77
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: It's probably around about eighty percent. And the industry, the traffic,

78
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: the heavy industry are now are in support of this.

79
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: They would like to be able to travel only about

80
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: one hundred extra one hundred and twenty kilometers, but they're

81
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: traveling at a much higher speed and when they have

82
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: to come down the freeway, as you know that they're

83
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: reduced down to sixty, there's more wear and tear on

84
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: their brakes, and it is actually they are now actually

85
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: very supportive. As long as the freeway is designed well,

86
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: then they are, I believe, are really really happy to

87
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: have that extra distance because they can travel faster and

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: it's a much clearer route without all the traffic. I

89
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: mean on a normal day and as you said, set

90
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, the

91
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: freight goes down that road and sometimes I've been caught

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: with b doubles on behind me in front of me,

93
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: and you really feel quite intimidated sometimes when they're boring along,

94
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: even when they're doing sixty and you might only be

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: doing you might doing sixty as well, but you feel

96
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 2: still feel quite intimidated by the huge size of these

97
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: and they're stopping ability is in a case of an emergency.

98
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: Well that's it. And I'm sure they must get frustrated

99
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: with the number of cars that zip in in front

100
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: of them only to have to hit the brakes at

101
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: the traffic lights, you know, fifty meters ahead, which reduces

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: their stopping space of course, and they need a bit

103
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: of room to pull up.

104
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: So I agree, and I think the other thing is

105
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: too that when they're coming down the freeway, they have

106
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: to come down in the left hand lane and the

107
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: majority of them are turning right into Court Rush, so

108
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: when they get to the bottom of the freeway they

109
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: have to try and traverse across two lanes to get

110
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: into the right hand lane and often at peak hour

111
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: to get into the right lanes to turn right into

112
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: port Rush Road. Some go down Glen Osmond Road as well,

113
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: and of course they are intent of the previous government

114
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: was to try to get some of those trucks to

115
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: go down cross Road and to join the Southern Southern interconnector.

116
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: But all that's going to do is create even more

117
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: suburban chaos because we're now then they would be going

118
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: down a cross roads through only Mitch and Marion West

119
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: Torrens in order to join that that bypasses are best solution.

120
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Well, you're right, because once the south road projects complete,

121
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they'll be doing to get out to

122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: Wingfield and other places.

123
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: Correct, And that will be great. That might be good

124
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: for the local track of vehicles or when I say,

125
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: the trucks that are coming from inter state bringing produce

126
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: for South Australia. But we know that there's a huge

127
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: number of these trucks that are going across to the

128
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: Augusta going up to the Augusta Highways Highway heading to

129
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: Perth and heading to Darwin. So we wanted we would

130
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: like to be able to move those and circle them

131
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: around Adelaide rather than having them travel at dangerous speeds

132
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: damaging the roads too because and that's an extra costs

133
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: to our department, the State Department for the upat up

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: pets of the roads and forest roads in some places

135
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: as they're really really dreadful awful.

136
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a very good point. So you're you're

137
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: having talks for federal and state governments in this regard.

138
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Yes, we have had a camera government. We went to

139
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: camera and this is that this motion is to try

140
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: to get the support from the whole of the Local

141
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: Government Association of South Australia. We know that we have

142
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: very strong support already from the all the the seven

143
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: eight councils that go along the existing route. We also

144
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: have a lot of support from the local from the

145
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: regional areas like Murray and murray Bridge. So we are

146
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: really trying to get the whole of the association to

147
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: support us. Because it is a state issue as well

148
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: as a federal issue. It's not just City of Burnside.

149
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, while I have you, I read an email

150
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: yesterday from a listener who's sent in about Grant Avenue

151
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: running from ford On Mote up to Port Rush Road

152
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: there and he made the point and I drove. I

153
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: was in the area yesterday. I drove along. He's right,

154
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: there's a forty K sign as you enter Grant Avenue

155
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: at either end, and that's it. And his point was, well,

156
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: fifty is a default anyone coming in off a side street,

157
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: even if it's a forty area. You run a bigger,

158
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: sort of more main road, was the argument, And you

159
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: automatically default to fifty. You should have forty signs every

160
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: few hundred meters. And I thought, I drove along it

161
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: absolutely right.

162
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: Look, I will. I drove down there the other day

163
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: and I was like to you, I came in off

164
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: one of the side streets and I thought, now I

165
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: know that that area is thirty. Sorry it's forty. So

166
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: I slowed down. But I will take that up with

167
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: our council administration.

168
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Do that, because I think that that person at a

169
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: very valid point that you find yourself on there and

170
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: you'll do fifty and then copp of fine.

171
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: The other issue is a lot of people do not

172
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: like all those extra signs outside, you know, and we're

173
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: not allowed to Somebody did suggest to us that we

174
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: painted the forty on the road, but apparently according to

175
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: the bylaws or the regulations, we're not allowed to do that.

176
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: We're not a lads paint on the road. But I

177
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: can look at the talk to administration about additional signing.

178
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: Or residents by not like the signs, but I'm sure

179
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: they wouldn't like the highest speed either. So it's important

180
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: that motorists know what they should be doing.

181
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: And that road has been a notorious thoroughfare and caused

182
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: many problems for the residents, cyclist walkers because it is

183
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: a major cycle thoroughfare through to the parklan through to

184
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: the Parklands and then across the Parklands to the city.

185
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: As long as you don't have plans to make it

186
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: thirty y.

187
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: You mean the headliners, Yes, no, no, we do not

188
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: have any plans. So we do have plans in the

189
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: future to look at other areas of Burnside in relations

190
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: to forty ks, but no, I think I think it

191
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: has been a certainly the best possible solution to problems

192
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: that have only got worse over the last few years.

193
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: Doesn't always not everybody likes any decision of council makes,

194
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: but the majority of people seem to be incredibly happy

195
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: about it.

196
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate your time this morning.

197
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you Matthew for calling me and getting

198
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: this discussion going, because I think it is absolutely essential

199
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: for the state.

200
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I don't disagree. I appreciate your time. The mirror

201
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: of Burnside and Monsig Greg has called in from seat

202
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: in morning. Greg.

203
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matthew, not eat at the moment. But out on

204
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 3: the highway, that's right.

205
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: One thing that needs to be reminded is it is

206
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 4: a national high one been put in place for obvious breasons.

207
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: But there is already a every free break route now

208
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: where you come down accommodation you and go out through

209
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: to the end. All the road trains are going down

210
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: there and pop out the Murray Bridge anyway. Okay, that's

211
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: that's in existence and has been for years. So you know,

212
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 4: if I'm not advocating for it on the driver myself

213
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 4: road trains, there's humorous.

214
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: That's the way they have to go now.

215
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: So it would be more about making it a gazetted

216
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: way that you have to go and that's the end

217
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: of it.

218
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: Wouldn't cost any money.

219
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: Is the road up to it that way?

220
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: No?

221
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's the issue.

222
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 4: That Yeah, it's terrible.

223
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 3: I mean, have them well the threequurs of the roads

224
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: that we travel now go traps.

225
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 4: You know, they like patchwork will yeah that in four conditions? Yeah,

226
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: and they you know, they're always blame the roads for

227
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 4: accidents and stuff like that, but you know there's plenty

228
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: of times that's the people on the road that just

229
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: don't they add drive to the conditions.

230
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

231
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: But well on that particular road, like I said, you've got.

232
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: AV triples, B triples road trains and yeah, it is narrow.

233
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 4: It certainly needs a hell of a lot of work,

234
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 4: but as far as making it, the actual road is

235
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 4: already there in existence and being used as we've been there.

236
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: We go.

237
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Good on you, Greg, thank you for the call. Coming

238
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: up to news headlines time shortly on five double A.

239
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: On the other side, we're going to speak to Steve

240
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: Shearer from the Essay Road Transport Association get his view

241
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: on this from the trucki's point of view. Heard from

242
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: greg Then Okay, that road is there not in the

243
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: best condition. They're probably not ideal for big heavy vehicles

244
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: were passing each other, let alone the cars on it,

245
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: So I would need improvement at the very least. And look,

246
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how much it costs to lay a

247
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: road per kilometer or whatever, but I imagine it's going

248
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: to cost hundreds of millions to build a proper road

249
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: that'll take big rigs behind the Adelaide Hills and take

250
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: them out to Truau or somewhere along those lines so

251
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: they can continue their journey then to wherever they're going,

252
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: avoiding the city, particularly avoiding main roads in the city. Yeah,

253
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: National Highway, but at the end of the day, it's

254
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: a suburban road as well. You know, you're not out

255
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: between Canalpen and Keith for instance,
