The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT), formerly the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI), is a large department of the government of South Australia. The website was renamed as of 7 August 2020, but without a formal announcement of change of name or change in documentation about its governance or functionality.[1][2]

Ministerial responsibility

The minister responsible for all aspects of the department's operations in the Marshall government was Stephan Knoll, Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, and Minister for Planning. He served from March 2018, until his resignation in the wake of an expenses scandal on 26 July 2020.[3]

The Urban Renewal Authority, trading as Renewal SA, was within the minister's portfolio responsibilities until 28 July 2020, when it was moved to that of the treasurer, Rob Lucas.[4]

Corey Wingard was sworn in as Minister for Infrastructure and Transport on 29 July 2020.[5]

Chief executive officer

Former chief executive officer Michael Deegan, appointed on 25 July 2014 after the sacking of Rod Hook,[6] was sacked on 21 March 2018 by the incoming administration of Steven Marshall, following the state election of 17 March 2018.[7]

Tony Braxton-Smith was CEO from October 2018 to April 2022 when he was sacked and replaced by Jon Whelan.[8][9]
