1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about South Road main south Road though, and

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: the duplication work which on the part I've driven on,

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: which is essentially from where you turn off to go

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: to Victor that starts there at Seaford, and I've driven

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: a few times to all Dinger along that road and

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: it's magnificent. I don't reckon. I've been passed there for

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: a couple of years though, the last time was to

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: head to Yankalilla a couple of years ago with my recollection. Anyway,

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: and if you passed the your Dinger turn off with

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: a big OTRs is hungry Jacks on that corner and

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: you go through there to for instance, the Star of

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Greece and great drive. But beyond that, businesses are really suffering.

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: And when you read about one business or a couple

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: of them anyway where Agostino sellers down there has lost

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: three grand in a weekend. And this has been going

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: on for a few years now. That can't last forever.

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Joe Agostino from Agostino wines on the line, Joe, good morning,

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: good morning. What's the delay and how long's it been?

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: It's probably better year longer. Yeah, Well, what can business?

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: Can cars not pull in easily is that it has

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: it been closed off.

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: Well, if you come from south to counter and right okay,

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: uh h h the road if it's closed every second weekend,

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: or if every man and then they closer without any notice.

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: And at the moment they've got some work going on

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: from say water and it has been closed for probably

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 2: a week.

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: What's your surviving what do you reckon? Your survivability is

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: if this continues for another twelve months or so.

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: I don't think we can hold for another twelve month

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: really no, no, And I mean we we've been very busy,

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: We've been very popular, but people are getting confused to

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: counter and ride the counter left m you know, it's

34
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: just a kind of a mess. Trucks there. If you've

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: got past, you've got to go past and do a

36
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: U turn. You've got to go down to Aldinger because

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: all the roads are closed. Yeah, and you can't even

38
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: go you to so it's really difficult. I don't know.

39
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: Have you been such the last two or three weeks

40
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: has been shocking.

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Have you been speaking to the department about assistance or

42
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: access better access to the business?

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: Well, that looks that being great. I mean they're trying

44
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: everything that possibly can to sort of help us out.

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: And I'm not blaming anybody in particular, it's overall. It's

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: just what's happening here in this corner. They've taken over

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 2: twenty seven acres across the road from us, and they're

48
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: moving the whole thing that ten or twenty trucks every

49
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: five minutes while going fast, dirt and bulldozers, you name.

50
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: It's just so much going on.

51
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: It's all about duplicating the road, I suppose. So it's

52
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: going to and timeline you reckon another year or.

53
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: So, I'm hoping not. The way things are going, there

54
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: will be at least at least another six seven months.

55
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: What do you take three thousand a weekend? That sounds

56
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: pretty drastic. That's what you're losing. What does that mean

57
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: over is that fifty percent of your take? I mean,

58
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: how does it play out?

59
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: Yes, the least at least Okay, eventually, the last four weeks,

60
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. What's happening because like I said,

61
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: they've closed all the roads and they make restrictions everywhere.

62
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: In the last three or four weeks, we have lost

63
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: at least fifty trade.

64
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: And you're not the only business winery down there. Obviously

65
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: a few would be affected along the street.

66
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: For just in the street there's there's US and there's

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: Big Easy Radio and that will be the same the

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: same shoes.

69
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.

70
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: Are the wineries that probably they McLaren bar itself, so

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: I can't speak for them. I don't know what's going on.

72
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: But like you were saying before the tune off to

73
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: mclaran vall, then I said, it's crazy there's three set

74
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: of lights and.

75
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: Half Yeah that's right.

76
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: You know, people sort of getting blocked and is stuck

77
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: on traffic till ten to fifteen minutes. Yeah, I look,

78
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: I don't have the answers, but yeah, something has to

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 2: be done. I suppose.

80
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: Well, I reckon that the department needs to have a

81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: look at how it's managing that. I mean, ultimately, that's it,

82
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: and no one wants to see businesses go under. If

83
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: other ways of doing things can be done, could they

84
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: do more night works for instance, or whatever the case

85
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: may be. But you'd think on weekends you'd have the

86
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: access particularly Yeah.

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: Well, I mean if they did the work during the

88
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: week you didn't convenience the public. Don't that about it?

89
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: I mean, but at least if we can. We're just

90
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: sort of slow down at least through the dark. Yeah,

91
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: we'll help small business around the place to carry on.

92
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: All right, Joe, I appreciate the time this morning. Good

93
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: luck with it, Hope. I hope they come to some

94
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: sort of better solution there for you. Thank you for

95
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: coming on. Hank Cass runs down South Distillery, which is

96
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: in the region anyway, Hank, Good morning morning, Michael hay Doing, Matthew. Yeah,

97
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: we're about math apologize all right, where about sayre you.

98
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 3: We're in the same premises as a Gastinos of course,

99
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: so we've got the solid door and the fits area, yep,

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 3: and we also run the scook of distillery solid door

101
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: from your arm I look, yeah, look, we're exactly in

102
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 3: the same boat as Joe, and I mean whatever Joe said,

103
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: I can't really elaborate on that. The idea is working

104
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: well fast, so they are really good and I understand

105
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 3: the guys that's actually issuing the permits for when people

106
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 3: can work is actually government department called TEMC. And the

107
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: article that appeared in the advertise it was just really

108
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: based on frustration trying to find a person that will

109
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: actually do something. However, like I said, you know, the

110
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: the i C. Guards has been in touch. They're willing

111
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: to work with us and see how we go.

112
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: All right, so when you say you want them to

113
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: do something, what ideally would you like them to do?

114
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: Oh, look, just don't work or do they but when

115
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 3: we're operating, you know, to do it, an do it

116
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: during the week.

117
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: I understand.

118
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: The argument is that you know, we take the president.

119
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: We you know, weekend traffic is supposed to be less.

120
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: But I mean this is the region where everybody comes

121
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: down on weekend and if you block the right, they're

122
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: not going to come. And that's all we're asking for

123
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: is work during the week when we're not operating. So

124
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: don't don't close our access of because what they've done

125
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: is they've closed the stone ass plane so you can't

126
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: do a right And Jos explained, and then we've got

127
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: a unique property that's got two entrances, so then people

128
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: would come in obviously wine and dine and then they

129
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: leave through Aldingero, so they don't have to make funny

130
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: us somewhere where I don't know where, and they just go, well,

131
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: look it's too hot, we'll go somewhere else.

132
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: So okay, Well, that's it. They're bypassing, especially if they

133
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: can't turn right. Not good, all right, Hank, thank you

134
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: for coming on, and hopefully the department will be listening

135
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: to this because we asked them to come on and

136
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: surely they could do some of the weekend work on

137
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: weekdays and allow access easier access. We've got a statement

138
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: from them they weren't able to come on the show,

139
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: but they say The Department Infrastructure Transport regularly met with

140
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Agostino Win's Big Easy Radio to help minimize the impact

141
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: of roadworks near their business, including notifying them about upcoming

142
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: works and consulting with them to adjust work time frames

143
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: to accommodate trading hours. Departments also agreed to help fix

144
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: potholes near Agustino Wines. Earlier this week, a burst water

145
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: main at Oldinger Road and Plains Road impact of these

146
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: businesses during emergency water works. The department now working with

147
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: Say Water to mitigate the impact of that. The Department

148
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: does not provide compensation to properties located near roadworks, instead

149
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: working to minimize impacts as much as possible. Well hopefully

150
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: minimize impacts means those businesses will still be there in

151
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: a year's time or whenever the project is finished. As

152
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: I said, driving Seaford to or Dinga is brilliant, but

153
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: I haven't driven that the rest of the section since

154
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: the road works have been underwigh and it is clearly

155
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: having an impact down there. Don't do it on weekends

156
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: because weekends are busy. I mean Monday to Friday's people

157
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: going about their business weekends. Well, the times I've driven

158
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: on that road has been on weekends and not Monday

159
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: to Friday. That's when you want to go down south

160
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: and enjoy the beautiful coast and if you're going to

161
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: McLaren the wines and all of that. But yes, I

162
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: would think, try not to. I get it. I get

163
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: why they'd want to do it on weekends because fewer

164
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: people perhaps overall on the roads, but big tourism time,

165
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: that's when businesses make their money down that part of Adelaide.
