2020 Infrastructure Priority List: projects across South Australia

Monica Gameng   |   March 12, 2020

Infrastructure Australia’s annual Infrastructure Priority List was released in late February and it includes about $58 billion worth of nationally significant projects. The 2020 Infrastructure Priority List includes six high priority projects, 17 priority projects, 36 high priority initiatives and 88 priority initiatives as well as 37 new infrastructure proposals.

High priority and priority projects are advanced proposals that already have a full business case and have been assessed by Infrastructure Australia as capable of addressing a nationally significant problem or opportunity.

On the other hand, high priority and priority initiatives are projects that have been determined by Infrastructure Australia to have potential to address a nationally significant problem or opportunity.

This installment of our 2020 Priority List blog series, we will list the projects and initiatives for South Australia.

Eyre Infrastructure Project (Iron Road) Priority project Eyre Peninsula freight capacity 0 - 5 Years
