South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas has reaffirmed election commitments for the state's southeast, including one to visit the region within 72 hours of being sworn in.
Mr Malinauskas travelled to Mt Gambier on Wednesday and said his new government would follow through on its $100 million in election promises for the region.
They include upgrades to the Mt Gambier Hospital, the deployment of more ambulance officers, development of a new technical college and work to improve job opportunities, particularly in the forest and timber industry.
"What really excites me is realising the economic opportunity that exists in this part of our state," the premier told reporters.
"If I could identify one place in our state that has more economic opportunity than anywhere else, it would be here in the Limestone Coast."
His comments came as counting continued after Saturday's poll.
Labor appears set to hold 27 seats in the 47-seat House of Assembly with 15 to be held by the Liberals and five by independents.
Some seats remain too close to call or must wait on the final distribution of preferences.
But former premier Steven Marshall is likely to retain his eastern suburbs seat of Dunstan despite still trailing his Labor opponent by 11 votes.
Pre-poll and postal votes have cut into Labor's lead and are expected to continue to favour Mr Marshall.
The last of the postal votes must reach the Electoral Commission by Friday.
