    Plea to block Fringe road closure rejected
    indaily.com.au Plea to block Fringe road closure rejected

    A city councillor has failed in a bid to knock back an Adelaide Fringe request to close Rundle Rd for six weeks for next year's event - but other councillors say they might still vote against the plan following public consultation.

    Plea to block Fringe road closure rejected

    Adelaide Fringe organisers have applied to Adelaide City Council to close Rundle Road in the East End from February 7 to March 21 next year.

    The six-week closure will allow the expansion of the Garden of Unearthly Delights and Gluttony to include two new venues of 800 and 1000 seats that will spill onto Rundle Road.

    Organisers say the new venues would host up to four shows a day for 28 days and improve disability access for the Fringe Corner Box Office.

    EV target for SA Govt cars running out of charge
    indaily.com.au EV target for SA Govt cars running out of charge

    An "ambitious" plan to fully electrify the state government's vehicle fleet by 2030 is unlikely to be met, with the Treasurer saying less than 2 per cent has been achieved so far.

    EV target for SA Govt cars running out of charge

    Mullighan said EVs were far more expensive than their petrol counterparts, with a Hyundai Kona Elite electric model priced at $54,500 compared with a regular Kona at $26,900.

    “Many battery electric vehicles are cost prohibitive, so they are above a price threshold that the fleet would normally pay for other fleet vehicles, but of course as technology improves and volume efficiencies are achieved it is expected price parity will occur sometime in the future,” he said.
