The powerful Civil Contractors Federation South Australia (CCF (SA) has come out today and welcomed the announcement by the Prime Minister that there will be a $400 million boost to SA’s road funding including bringing major project work forward and safety upgrades to regional roads.

The CCF (SA) has long campaigned for additional and timely Federal and State Government investment in the State’s road network. The Federation feared that funding for the few major road projects under construction was soon to be exhausted, resulting in job losses and economic stagnation. The Federation has also expressed concern that the work that was available, was slow coming to the market from SA’s Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure.
