federal government: It has also urged the federal government to provide more funds to help displaced workers and communities in Adelaide north."We want to work collaboratively with the commonwealth, local councils, industries and communities to give the supply chain companies the best possible chance to diversify and remain sustainable, once the last car rolls off the Holden production line," SA Automotive Transformation Minister Kyam Maher said on Friday."Reducing support through the Automotive Transformation Scheme would be counterproductive and would harm the South Australian economy."The SA government believes Adelaide northern suburbs, where the Holden plant and many car component producers are located, will be particularly hard hit by Holden closure."Northern Adelaide will need significant help to address the economic and social challenges," Mr Maher said, according to Nine News Australia. The state government is developing an economic plan for northern Adelaide which will guide job creation and training for workers in growing industries such as food manufacturing and defence."But experience interstate and overseas shows all levels of government must be involved to ensure automotive-intensive regions and communities can survive and thrive," the minister said.© AAP 2015South Australia Politics Email your news tips Do you have any news photos or videos Property news: Home ideas to stay warm in winter - realestate.com.au Motoring news: More than 50,000 Chrysler 300 recalled - carsales.com.au Property news: Gourmet bars winning the burger wars - news: SRT Tomahawk concept is nuts - carsales.com.au In a submission to the Senate inquiry into the car industry, the state government says the $900 million Automotive Transformation Scheme should be continued until at least 2020 to allow car supply chain companies to diversify.
