SA Labor to create space precinct

Labor has promised a dedicated space industry precinct in Adelaide's north if it wins Saturday's election.

A re-elected Labor government will establish a space and defence precinct in Adelaide's north.

Premier Jay Weatherill says that vacant land will be set aside at Technology Park, Mawson Lakes to attract companies to establish themselves in SA.

"Our state is transitioning towards a high-tech future and by fostering innovation we will attract global investment opportunities and increase our share of the multi-billion space, defence and cyber industries," Mr Weatherill said on Thursday.
