SA DAIRYFARMERS are being urged to take advantage of a government concession to help build cattle underpasses for their farmers.
PIRSA's regional growth fund is allowing dollar for dollar funding for the construction of these to improve the commerciality of the South Australian Dairy Industry.
The project was originally announced in February and since then the SA Dairyfarmers' Association said there had been good interest with at least five potential projects.
The fund is a $150 million commitment across 10 years by the SA government to enable businesses to access dollar for dollar infrastructure projects to aid SA business growth.
"For many years SADA has been aware of the challenges surrounding underpasses and the adverse effects the absence of underpasses have on dairyfarming," a statement from SADA said.
"SADA meets the requirements to be a project entity and we are calling for expressions of interest in a proposed underpass project/s.
"Sufficient interest has now been shown in this project and SADA will co-ordinate the required work to have the project scoped out and prepared for submission to the SA government."
SADA said the project was not limited to one project but may cover multiple projects across SA.
Interested dairyfarmers should contact John Elferink at SADA on 0418 406400 or by emailing John on john@sada.asn.au.
