It can be difficult to get your head around what the 2013 South Australian State Budget actually means when it’s just abstract figures on a page.

The reality is, over the coming 12 months you’ll see the impacts of the budget lines in Treasurer Jay Weatherill’s document all around your community.

To help give a sense of geographical perspective, we’ve mapped out many of the major new initiatives from this year’s budget, along with some key ongoing works, onto an interactive Google Map, giving you a birds-eye view of exactly what the State Government is doing in your neighborhood.

How to use the Interactive 2013 State Budget Map

1. The map functions just like a regular Google Map. You can drag to scroll around the State. 2. To zoom in, try double clicking. Alternatively you can use the controls in the top left corner.
3. Budget projects are represented by the blue pins. Click a pin to get more information about the project.
