New road to boost Fleurieu economy

Media Release | 1 September 2008

A new transport corridor at Brinkley, south west of Tailem Bend, will boost the economy of the Fleurieu Peninsula.

The $1.2 million upgrading and sealing of Kangaroo Rd will service a major new composting facility established by Peats Soils and Garden Supplies.

Peats Soils will employ 15 new staff and the upgraded transport corridor is expected to lead to a cluster of complementary businesses.

The project received $450,000 through the South Australian Government's Regional Development Infrastructure Fund and $733,000 from the Federal Government's Auslink Supplementary Roads to Recovery Program.

Minister Karlene Maywald says the road will help support the development of a bio-precinct in the region.
