Site Contamination, Clovelly Park and Mitchell Park

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): Thank you, sir. When did the EPA begin investigating this issue?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:30): I will take that question on notice. I am not fully aware of when the EPA began investigating this particular issue. I am aware, from my own knowledge some years ago, there were some concerns about some contamination risk associated with former industrial properties in that general vicinity of South Australia.

Frankly, all of the former industrial areas which are in the peri-urban area of South Australia really fit into that category, so a very significant issue for many our suburbs is the contamination from past legacy industrial uses. But, what is important is that when we communicate, the information is clear, it is cogent, and people are given proper information about what steps they should take. I understand the agency is putting themselves in a position to do that very soon.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary?
