Our advocacy priorities by state regions

Our members are at the heart of everything we do, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve their lives. This is why we proudly take a leadership role to represent our members’ interests and stand for issues that affect the entire State of South Australia.

We have consulted and engaged with industry, government and our members; and used open-source data, research and technical field work to test and develop our suite of advocacy recommendations: Six for the State.

The below map highlights our key priorities by SA regions.

Far North

Safer Road Users

We are committed to improving road safety outcomes for our members and the community. We run educational programs and campaigns to save lives based on the safe system approach. We support the vision of zero lives lost on our roads by 2050, with a 2030 target of at least a 50 per cent reduction in lives lost and a 30 per cent reduction in serious injuries.

RAA welcomes the South Australian Government’s draft SA Road Safety Strategy to 2031. As part of implementing the Strategy, RAA has called for a formal ongoing role for key stakeholder and community engagement to monitor progress and provide advice to ensure this strategy meets its targets. To complement the strategy, RAA is recommending the next South Australian Government to implement the following measures to improve road safety:

  • Offer learner drivers bonus logbook hour credits to increase the usage of professional driving instruction so young people become better, safer drivers.
  • Establish a state-wide child restraint fitting network and reform child restraint legislation to improve protection for children.

Safer And More Accessible Road Networks

For over 115 years, we have advocated to make the road network safer and more efficient to connect people and support a growing economy. We believe continued investment in the transport network is key to South Australia’s recovery from COVID-19 and critical to achieving the National Road Safety Strategy vision of zero lives lost on our roads by 2050. We are recommending the next Government prioritise the following projects to improve road safety and deliver an efficient network:

  • Establish a four-year road maintenance fund with a minimum value of $600 million to improve road safety and address the backlog of road maintenance across South Australia’s road network.
  • Commit to duplicating the Augusta, Sturt by 2050 to improve road safety. A fully duplicated Augusta Highway will lead to opportunities to facilitate higher productivity vehicle (HPV) freight south of Port Augusta, significantly boosting productivity across the Eyre Peninsula and Far North regions of the state.

 

Sustainable Urban Development

As an organisation representing one in four homeowners in South Australia, we are committed to making home insurance affordable for South Australians, helping solve challenges associated with climate change and natural disasters and making communities safer. In addition, we believe that transport infrastructure should be considered from the outset to ensure the connectivity of new developments across the State.

A Stronger Tourism Economy

RAA Travel is South Australia’s expert and trusted provider of high-quality holidays and experiences locally, interstate and internationally. Through valued partnerships and collaboration with the industry, we are committed to advocating for, engaging with and helping to support tourism businesses and operators to grow the visitor economy in South Australia. We are recommending the next Government to invest in the following measures to support a safe and accessible tourism sector in South Australia:

  • Commit to an ongoing regional tourism grant program to support economic growth, revitalise regional town centres, and improve and upgrade local infrastructure facilities to support increased visitation.
  • Commit to developing a whole-of-state strategy to respond to growing skills shortages in the tourism industry and address long-term impacts of COVID-19.

Lower Transport Costs

We continue to advocate for measures that keeps transports costs as low as possible, building on our recent success in securing a two-year trial of real-time fuel pricing. With transport crucial to everyday life, it is critical that transport costs are kept to a minimum to ensure it remains accessible and affordable to all South Australians.

  • Install a signalised pedestrian crossing treatment on Cross Road, near the intersection with Waite Road.

 

Connected, Liveable, Smart Cities

Through innovation and advocacy, we seek to play an important role in supporting the transition to more sustainable transport and mobility solutions and using data and digital infrastructure to create high quality living. South Australia can and should leverage the rapid technological change in transport and mobility and the disrupting effect of COVID-19 to enhance South Australia’s liveability credentials and promote Adelaide as a truly smart city. We are recommending the next Government to prioritise the following projects to enhance South Australia’s liveability credentials and promote Adelaide as a truly smart city:

  • Make public transport more attractive, accessible and easier to use by providing commuters with choice to seamlessly plan journeys and purchase digital tickets via multiple app platforms.
  • Make the on-demand bus trial in Mt Barker permanent.
  • Develop a state cycling strategy, including a mapped metropolitan priority cycling network, underpinned by a $10m annual investment in the State Bicycle Fund.

  • Make the on-demand bus trial in Mt Barker permanent.
  • Implement a state cycling strategy and complete cycling networks including Gawler Greenway and the Great Australian Wine Trail between Claire Valley and McLaren Vale.

Sustainable Urban Development

As an organisation representing one in four homeowners in South Australia, we are committed to making home insurance affordable for South Australians, helping solve challenges associated with climate change and natural disasters and making communities safer. In addition, we believe that transport infrastructure should be considered from the outset to ensure the connectivity of new developments across the State.

A Stronger Tourism Economy

RAA Travel is South Australia’s expert and trusted provider of high-quality holidays and experiences locally, interstate and internationally. Through valued partnerships and collaboration with the industry, we are committed to advocating for, engaging with and helping to support tourism businesses and operators to grow the visitor economy in South Australia. We are recommending the next Government to invest in the following measures to support a safe and accessible tourism sector in South Australia:

  • Commit to an ongoing regional tourism grant program to support economic growth, revitalise regional town centres, and improve and upgrade local infrastructure facilities to support increased visitation.
  • Commit to developing a whole-of-state strategy to respond to growing skills shortages in the tourism industry and address long-term impacts of COVID-19.

Lower Transport Costs

We continue to advocate for measures that keeps transports costs as low as possible, building on our recent success in securing a two-year trial of real-time fuel pricing. With transport crucial to everyday life, it is critical that transport costs are kept to a minimum to ensure it remains accessible and affordable to all South Australians.

Safer Road Users

We are committed to improving road safety outcomes for our members and the community. We run educational programs and campaigns to save lives based on the safe system approach. We support the vision of zero lives lost on our roads by 2050, with a 2030 target of at least a 50 per cent reduction in lives lost and a 30 per cent reduction in serious injuries.

RAA welcomes the South Australian Government’s draft SA Road Safety Strategy to 2031. As part of implementing the Strategy, RAA has called for a formal ongoing role for key stakeholder and community engagement to monitor progress and provide advice to ensure this strategy meets its targets. To complement the strategy, RAA is recommending the next South Australian Government to implement the following measures to improve road safety:

  • Offer learner drivers bonus logbook hour credits to increase the usage of professional driving instruction so young people become better, safer drivers.
  • Establish a state-wide child restraint fitting network and reform child restraint legislation to improve protection for children.

Safer And More Accessible Road Networks

For over 115 years, we have advocated to make the road network safer and more efficient to connect people and support a growing economy. We believe continued investment in the transport network is key to South Australia’s recovery from COVID-19 and critical to achieving the National Road Safety Strategy vision of zero lives lost on our roads by 2050. We are recommending the next Government prioritise the following projects to improve road safety and deliver an efficient network:

  • Establish a four-year road maintenance fund with a minimum value of $600 million to improve road safety and address the backlog of road maintenance across South Australia’s road network, prioritising key regional roads including Old Sturt Highway between Barmera and Monash.
  • Commit to duplicating the Sturt Highway and Dukes Highways by 2050 to connect with an upgraded hills freight bypass and reduce heavy vehicle traffic on the South Eastern Freeway
  • Commit to installing additional overtaking lanes on busy roads and highways across the South Australian regional road network, including on Bookpurnong Road.

Connected, Liveable, Smart Cities

Through innovation and advocacy, we seek to play an important role in supporting the transition to more sustainable transport and mobility solutions and using data and digital infrastructure to create high quality living.
