BLACKWOOD PARK ROAD LINK COSTS

298 The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (30 October 2007). What is the most current cost estimates of constructing a new road linking Blackwood Park (Craigburn Farm) to either:

(a) South Road/Sturt Road via Flinders University;

(b) South Road via Sturt Gorge;

(c) Flagstaff Road.

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I provide the following information:

The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure has advised that a potential road link between the Craigburn Farm development and either South Road/Sturt Road via Flinders University, South Road via Sturt Gorge, or Flagstaff Road has not been considered. No cost estimates are available for such a link. The department considers that such a road link would be an issue for council, given its role would be to provide access into the local area.
