Industry Participation Advocate To build Awareness, to Create Opportunities, to Initiate Change Office of the Industry Advocate 5

Our Objectives Build capacity of local businesses to successfully tender for Government contracts Office of the Industry Advocate Policy and practices that remove impediments and support local participation Procurement reforms that provide greater economic benefit to the State and local businesses 6

Industry Participation Policy Employment, Investment, Supply inputs Office of the Industry Advocate 7

Key Drivers of Economic Contribution from Procurement EMPLOYMENT Number of South Australian jobs or labour hours INVESTMENT SUPPLY INPUTS Amount of new capital expenditure in South Australia Value of goods and supplies sourced from South Australian businesses The physical location or the registered office of a business does not necessarily translate to economic benefit to the State. This is primarily through jobs, investment and supply inputs Office of the Industry Advocate directly linked to the delivery of contracts on behalf of the South Australian Government 8

Currently a minimum weighting of 10% applies across the following sectors; • • Heavy and civil engineering construction Professional, scientific and technical services Non-residential building construction Electrical equipment manufacturing Recent DPTI projects have 15% Industry Participation; Recognising the importance of economic contribution to an award of contract.

Current Industry Participation Requirements CONTRACT VALUE $22, 000 to $220, 000 Office of the Industry Advocate REQUIREMENT • Can the product or service be sourced within the State or region. • Obtain one quote from a local source. • Employment Contribution Test applies to primary and secondary contracts. 10

Current Industry Participation Requirements CONTRACT VALUE $220, 000 to $4 m (metro) or $1 m (regional) REQUIREMENT • Employment Contribution Test – minimum weighting of 5% • Is there merit for increasing the weighting Office of the Industry Advocate 11

Current Industry Participation Requirements CONTRACT VALUE REQUIREMENT Above $4 m (metro) or $1 m (regional) • Industry Participation evaluation – minimum weighting of 5% or 10%* • Industry Participation Plan required • Is there merit for increasing the IP weighting Office of the Industry Advocate 12

Industry Participation Plan requirements PART A: EMPLOYMENT THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO MEASURE THE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE STATE THROUGH THE USE OF LOCAL LABOUR. We are seeking the number of labour hours your business will employ directly to deliver the contract should you be successful. Office of the Industry Advocate 13

Industry Participation Plan requirements PART B: INVESTMENT THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO MEASURE THE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE STATE THROUGH THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE. • What is the total value of investment to be sourced from within South Australia? • What is the total value of investment to be permanently located in South Australia? Office of the Industry Advocate 14

Industry Participation Plan requirements PART C: SUPPLY INPUTS THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO MEASURE THE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE STATE THROUGH THE USE OF SUPPLY INPUTS. (E. G. MERCHANDISE, FINISHED PRODUCTS, FOOD AND BEVERAGES, SUPPLIES AND RAW MATERIALS) • Will your business deliver this contract entirely in-house? • Will all supply inputs valued at $110, 000 or more be sourced exclusively from within South Australia? • What supply inputs valued at over $110, 000, will you purchase to deliver this contract? Office of the Industry Advocate 15

Industry Participation Plan Implementation: • Industry Participation Plan commitments become part of contract conditions • Early engagement with industry • Input from OIA on work packages • Industry Advisory Committee/Reference group • Commitments to use SA based suppliers and subcontractors • Subcontractors bound by the same SA Industry Participation requirements • Monitoring and reporting

Northern Connector

Northern Connector Project “People to places. Businesses to markets” • Integration of transport infrastructure with land use planning - future urban growth areas (including areas under investigation) - new strategic employment lands NORTHERN CONNECTOR PROJECT Source: 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide (DPTI 2010)

Northern Connector Project Progress to Date Community and stakeholder engagement Submissions to Infrastructure Australia • Commenced in 2008 and on-going • Integrated Road & Rail Project (January 2009; November 2009) • Road Project Only (August 2012) Threshold status on Priority List Development and release of the Project Impact Report • July 2011 Development and release of Scoping Report for 10 Year Delivery Strategy • May 2015 Joint Australian Government and SA Government funding commitment • 14 September 2015

Northern Connector Project Scope NORTHERN EXPRESSWAY • A new road (15. 5 kilometres), three lanes in each direction, between the Northern Expressway and the South Road Superway • A shared-use (16 kilometres) pedestrian and cycle path • Four road interchanges: - NORTHERN CONNECTOR PROJECT Northern Exp. / Port Wakefield Rd interchange Waterloo Corner Rd interchange Bolivar Rd interchange South Rd / Port River Exp. Interchange SOUTH ROAD SUPERWAY

Interchange with Port Wakefield Road Northern Connector

Waterloo Corner Road Interchange Northern Connector

Bolivar Road Interchange Northern Connector

Interchange with Port River Expressway

Northern Connector Project Typical Cross-Section north of Ridley salt fields through Ridley salt fields

Visualisation Northern Connector

Northern Connector Project Scope (continued) NORTHERN EXPRESSWAY • Earth embankment (i. e. partial sea wall) through salt fields (i. e. forming embankment for future rail corridor) • Wetland offset or rehabilitation areas (for flood storage, water quality treatment and habitat) NORTHERN CONNECTOR PROJECT SOUTH ROAD SUPERWAY

Northern Connector Project Challenges • Timeframes to achieve necessary statutory and internal approvals (e. g. EPBC, Aboriginal heritage, Public Works Committee, procurement) may impact the commencement of the delivery program • Development of the Ridley salt field site – nature and timing currently unknown • Timeframes to undertake acquisitions and secure right-of-entry may result in delays to works program, including: - approximately 40% land parcels already Government owned

Northern Connector Project Challenges • Construction interfaces with existing Northern Expressway and South Road Superway, and service relocations • Impacts of other infrastructure projects across Australia • Capacity of local industry

Northern Connector Project Workforce Participation Allocation of at least 20% of on-site labour hours to the employment of people from the following Target Groups: • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander • Displaced automotive workers • People with barriers to employment • Trainees / cadets / apprentices • Local people • JOBS, JOBS
