CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I provide the following information: Prior to the intended asset transfer of TransAdelaide's assets to DTEI, TransAdelaide's forward estimates for replacement of rail track points and crossings was as follows: 2007-08	$500,000 2008-09	$513,000 2009-10	$526,000 Goodwood—The materials for this project are currently being manufactured for delivery in September 2007. Installation has been deferred to coincide with major concrete resleepering proposed for the Noarlunga line to avoid multiple closures and minimise inconvenience to the travelling public. Woodville—This work has been completed. Adelaide Rail Yard and Railcar Depot—The relocation of the Railcar Depot to facilitate the construction of the new hospital has now made replacing this trackwork unnecessary. Routine inspections will ensure that the trackwork is monitored until the relocation. Glenelg Tramway—All mainline points and crossings on the tramway except the crossover at Leah Street have been replaced.
