The briefing will be hosted by the successful contractor, Fulton Hogan.

Zone 2, the southern zone, covers a large portion of the state, spanning from Port Wakefield across to Renmark in the Riverland, down to Mt Gambier and back across to Victor Harbor – covering approximately 5,800 kilometres of sealed roads. Work on the contract will begin on the 2^nd of November 2020.

Fulton Hogan Infrastructure Services CEO, Matthew MacMahon, said the virtual industry briefing was an opportunity for businesses across South Australia to find out more about the maintenance program and register their interest in providing goods and services.

“We currently employ 400 South Australians, contributing more than $350 million per year to the local economy across our civil maintenance infrastructure services, utilities and construction activities”, he said.

“One of the biggest benefits of this program of works will be the opportunity for local companies to be involved in supporting its delivery.”

Mr MacMahon added “We encourage suppliers, subcontractors, service providers, social enterprise and Aboriginal businesses to join us at the online briefing to learn more about the maintenance program and find out how they can get involved.”

Fulton Hogan will also be hosting 15-minute one-on-ones with interested businesses (numbers limited) allowing them to share details about their capacity and areas of expertise with the project team and have any questions answered.

The virtual industry briefing will take place at 11am (SA time) on Tuesday, 13 October. It will run for approximately one hour.
