This is a comprehensive plan for Murray Bridge - a major economic hub which is set to experience significant growth over coming decades.

For too long, Murray Bridge has been taken for granted. We need to make sure we invest here now – for the future. And that’s why, I’m here today with Simone Bailey - Labor for Hammond, to announce our comprehensive plan for Murray Bridge. This plan includes: ✅ MetroCARD in Murray Bridge ✅ New Maternity Ward and Birthing Unit ✅ New Renal Unit ✅ New Permanent Ambulance Crew ✅ New Technical College ✅ New Police Station All of this because we need to ensure Murray Bridge has the transport, health, education and crime prevention infrastructure to cater for the growth to come.

These steel tunnel segments are being fabricated here in the Murraylands. They're for the biggest infrastructure project in our state's history - the T2D. More than 660 of these segments will be fabricated by family-run Murrylands business, Bowhill Engineering - which will create more jobs for locals. A non-stop South Road is something that's been talked and debated about for years. But we're getting on with the job of delivering it with the help of locals.

The administration of Bedford has ended. And a new beginning has started.

This moment marks the first step into Bedford's future - a fresh start, with the same heart.

Today is all about these people here. The finalisation of the sale of Bedford today means more than a thousand South Australians with disability can continue to have the dignity of work. It's also about their families knowing their loved one is safe, occupied and gainfully employed. But today is more than just about a job. It's about community. It's about connection. And it's about what it means to these South Australians. It's why when we saw the real risk of Bedford collapsing, we took the tough decision to step in. And in partnership with the Commonwealth, to develop a plan to secure its long term future.
