MONTACUTE CFS STATION

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Emergency Services. Can the minister advise the house of when construction on the Montacute CFS station will begin and when it is due to be completed? Material distributed during the last election listing achievements of the then Labor government identified one claim as 'secured new land lease and station for the Montacute CFS', but as of this morning yet a sod is to be turned.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:53): I thank the member for Morialta for his question. I understand there were some considerable delays in relation to accessing a particular site; there were building regulations and council regulations that needed to be gone through. I know the member made some assertions in response to the member for Schubert's motion in this house, I think in the last sitting week. I do not have the date of commencement of works but I am happy to get that information and bring it back to the house.
