Welcome!

Our Aim

To revive the vision of the Metropolitan Adelaide Transportation Study in order to ensure that the new maritime defence industry based at Osborne is provided with optimum logistical and transportation support.

Advocacy

To mobilize the support of government – Federal, State and Local – and industry and community groups in advancing the case for the Maritime Adelaide Transport System, and to promote the benefits of the MATS Plan project to each and every stakeholder.

Key Projects

Stage 1:   Osborne – M2 Connector
Stage 2:   M2 – Murray Bridge Greater Adelaide Freight Bypass
Stage 3:   Osborne – Modbury Interchange

Economics

The primary beneficiary of the MATS Plan project will be AUKUS – Australia’s biggest-ever Maritime Defence Industry Program. Given AUKUS’s scale and strategic significance, and because time is of the essence, it is appropriate that MATS Plan be funded from Australia’s Defence Budget – estimated at $800bn over the next ten years.
