CLASSIC TARGA ADELAIDE

321 Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (23 August 2011) (First Session). With respect to 2011-12 Budget Paper 4—Volume 4, p19—

1. Is the Classic Adelaide Targa Event to be based out of the Inter-Continental Hotel instead of the Hilton Hotel in Victoria Square and if so, will there be traffic management issues and other challenges linked to that decision?

The Hon. C.C. FOX (Bright—Minister for Transport Services): The Minister for Tourism has advised:

The Supaloc Classic Targa Adelaide official host hotel is the InterContinental Adelaide. The InterContinental Hotel was successful in gaining this contract through a tender process managed by Octagon which included the Hilton Adelaide.

Supaloc Classic Targa Adelaide events scheduled to take place at the InterContinental hotel are:

Official event start—Wednesday, 14 September

Event finish and trophy presentation—Saturday, 17 September

Gala Dinner—Sunday, 18 September (inside the ballroom)

Octagon did not have any traffic management issues as the two outdoor events scheduled held at the InterContinental Hotel were confined to the driveway of the Hotel.
