2023 Policy Priorities - Infrastructure
SACOME’s infrastructure calls address the need for regulatory mechanisms that foster investment, and maintenance of safe and efficient supply chain routes.
Rail Incentive Scheme SACOME calls on the State Government to investigate the potential of a rail freight incentive scheme, as has been introduced in other Australian jurisdictions. SACOME calls for funding to be made available to an appropriate agency to undertake the necessary investigations as to how rail freight may benefit South Australian exporters and assist in meeting emissions reduction targets.

Ongoing Road Upgrades and Maintenance SACOME calls on the State Government to continue to prioritise maintenance funding for regional and remote roads which are critical to the operation and development of the South Australian resources sector. SACOME continues to support a 4-year road maintenance fund of $600 million to improve road safety and address the backlog of road maintenance across South Australia’s road network.
