Being near Adelaide’s existing naval manufacturing precinct and other maritime and export related businesses was a key consideration in site selection.

Do you have any feedback on how the proposal may interact with nearby businesses and/or those who live and work on the Le Fevre Peninsula?

The proposed nuclear-powered submarine construction yard is located near the Port River and a number of protected areas, including Mutton Cove Reserve and the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary.

Do you have any feedback on how the proposal may interact with water and/or land-based environments, such as impacts to plants, animals or important habitats?

The proposed nuclear-powered submarine construction yard will generate additional traffic movements and require new or expanded services to support its construction and operation.

Do you have any feedback on how the proposal may affect existing service levels or social and community infrastructure?

10.

The proposed nuclear-powered submarine construction yard is expected to create thousands of jobs during the design, construction and operational phases of the project.

Do you have any feedback on the economic benefits or challenges the development could have on the local Port Adelaide community, Adelaide Metropolitan area or South Australia more generally?

11.

The nuclear-powered submarine propulsion systems are not made in Australia. They would be delivered from overseas as a fully constructed, sealed unit to the Osborne facility. Following delivery, the inactive units would be securely stored for a short time before installation, testing and commissioning processes are undertaken, prior to delivery to the Royal Australian Navy.

Do you have any feedback on how the nuclear-powered propulsion systems are managed?
