        <text id="2012091837418683042f46fcb0000321">1.&amp;#x9;The cost of demolition and remediation of the current Royal Adelaide Hospital site is not yet known. In 2012-13, SA Health is commencing the planning of the de-commissioning of the current Royal Adelaide Hospital and identifying any related issues on adjacent buildings serviced by the engineering plant of the Royal Adelaide Hospital. That process will determine the costs and program for the work that will be required to de-commission the site and further work will in future be required to determine demolition and remediation costs once the future of buildings is determined.</text>
        <text id="2012091837418683042f46fcb0000322">2.&amp;#x9;The site is yet to be declared surplus to Government requirements and therefore no sale process has been determined or market values obtained. The site's value will be determined by decisions on the future use of the site. These decisions will be informed by the development of a precinct plan for the Riverbank by the Urban Renewal Authority.</text>
