The team at Goyder South Stage 1, along with project delivery partners, will continue to prioritise the safety of all communities, personnel, and motorists for the duration of these deliveries. We thank you for your patience and cooperation during this time.
If any person sees a pilot or police escort vehicle approach them, they should slow down immediately and safely pull over to the side of the road to allow the deliveries to pass. If anyone finds themselves driving behind an oversized load, we request that they do not pass the vehicle until a pilot or police escort has given the instruction to do so. Motorists should not try to overtake the loads without this indication from the pilot or escort.
