RISING unemployment in the Adelaide-North region, including Gawler, is being matched by record numbers of jobs being created, according to one Liberal minister.
SOUTH Australian supermarket company Drakes officially opened its $125 million Edinburgh North distribution centre on Thursday, with the development set to create 150 jobs and distribute stock to affiliated stores around the country.
SOUTH Australia’s nation-topping unemployment rate of 7.3 per cent has been garnering statewide attention since being revealed last week, but the figure in Adelaide’s north – including Gawler – is still higher.
MORE than 500 jobs are expected to be created in Adelaide’s north after a local grocery retail giant announced its intentions to build an $80 million state-of-the-art distribution centre in Edinburgh North.
