As attention turns to reconnecting a major Riverland road that was cut off by floodwaters, the SA government also announces new tax relief measures aimed at helping those who lost their homes.
Premier Peter Malinauskas said Bookpurnong Road should be "up and running" in about a week.
But engineers have not been able to assess all of the flood-affected roads, with some still inundated. That includes stamp duty relief of up to $48,830 on the purchase of a new home for people whose primary residences have been substantially damaged or destroyed. "The last thing they deserve is to cop another bill from the government potentially in the tens of thousands of dollars from something like stamp duty," he said.
