PLAYFORD URBAN GROWTH AREAS

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (17:31): My question is to the Minister for Planning. Has the government sought crown law advice regarding flood-affected areas that have been proposed for residential development under the Playford Urban Growth Areas DPA?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (17:31): Can I have the beginning of that question again so I understand exactly what I am being asked?

Ms CHAPMAN: Has the government sought crown law advice regarding the flood-affected areas that have been proposed for residential development under the Playford Urban Growth Areas DPA?

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Well, the government is a big thing. I cannot speak on behalf of every officer in every department and, in particular, every officer in the planning department. All I can say is that I have no recollection myself of having asked for such an advice and I am not even sure what exactly the 'flood-affected areas' to which the member is referring might in fact be. However, if the member for Bragg gets in touch with me and speaks to me about the particulars, I would be happy to give a more particular answer.

[Sitting extended beyond 18:00 on motion of Hon. J.J. Snelling]
