WEST BEACH TRUST

Mrs GERAGHTY (Torrens) (15:21): My question is to the Deputy Premier. In his capacity as Minister for Planning, can he inform the house about the key achievements of the West Beach Trust over the past year?

The Hon. I.F. Evans: You tabled it in your annual report.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:22): I thank the honourable member for her question.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.R. RAU: The member for Davenport has not read it yet, I presume. I am going to help him with some highlights. The member for Norwood is too busy tweeting to have read it so, anyway, it was tabled today.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Minister, can you sit down? Order! Will members stop shouting across the chamber to each other. The minister for mines, you are very close to getting thrown out.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The deputy leader will also stop shouting across at him. Order! Deputy Premier.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Some people on this side at least are interested in this.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: No, we are interested in this.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: We will organise a special one for you with pictures, alright? Adelaide Shores is a multi-award winning business and it is an arm of the West Beach Trust which, I know, is very dear to certain members here, and I am sure most of you have visited it. The past year has seen continued growth in the occupancy at Adelaide Shores in spite of a difficult domestic tourism climate.

The complex has also long focused on delivering sporting facilities for the state and the western suburbs. In July, funding from the state and federal governments was committed to the $2.6 million project to deliver new soccer facilities on the site. I note the Minister for Recreation and Sport has recognised the good work at Adelaide Shores and is working with them to support the project. The development will further enhance Adelaide Shores' status as an iconic sport and recreation facility in our state.

Also recognised nationally, on 18 October, Adelaide Shores won the category of Organisational Learning Effectiveness at the AITD National Training Excellence Awards.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: I'll tell you afterwards. You guess; start guessing.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: There's more; it gets better. I'm just getting to the good bit.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.R. RAU: The Adelaide Shores submission was based on the Take the Lead leadership program. Training encouraged collaboration between senior and front-line leaders and delivered amazing results for the business as assignments and projects were implemented throughout Adelaide Shores. Adelaide Shores is an outstanding example of what government business units can achieve. I would like to express the thanks of the government—
