House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Oaklands Park Rail Overpass OAKLANDS PARK RAIL OVERPASS Dr McFETRIDGE House of Assembly Morphett OAKLANDS PARK RAIL OVERPASS Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:58): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Can the minister advise when the report undertaken by his department into the Oaklands Park rail overpass project will be completed and when the government will announce its plans to tackle traffic congestion at this site? In September 2011, the government announced its intention to spend $2 million to develop a long-term infrastructure solution to alleviate traffic congestion in the vicinity of the Oaklands Park rail crossing. The department for transport, energy and infrastructure sent out questionnaires to the local community with a return date of 5 October 2011. The study was due to be completed by the end of 2011. The Hon. P.F. CONLON House of Assembly Elder Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Minister for Housing and Urban Development OAKLANDS PARK RAIL OVERPASS The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:59): I thank the honourable member for his question. I note that he has indicated, in asking the question, that the solution has already been found; it is an overpass. Of course, that may well be the case, but I am not quite sure how the infrastructure solution was found before the report was finished. It is a matter that is very important, it is a matter about which we have had many discussions with the member for Mitchell, and my understanding is that the report is not very far away. As soon as we have it we will get it for the member.
