State roads programme to improve South Australian routes
The 1936 37 roads plan focuses on limited improvements to major routes including Kingston to Broken Hill via Mount Gambier and an Anzac Highway reconstruction. Rainy seasons, parliamentary approval, and funding delays push most work to repair or later development while temporary repairs to the Prince’s Highway are authorized for Centenary visitors. The Premier weighs costs from a £5 million five year program, with expected loan money and specific routes in Upper Murray, West Coast, and Kingston Milli centroid areas, though final schedules depend on Public Works Committee input.
