Local Government (Gawler Park Lands) Amendment Bill

Referred to Select Committee

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (11:05): I bring up the excellent report of the select committee, together with minutes of proceedings and evidence.

Report received.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (11:06): I move:

That the report be noted.

In view of the report, I move that the bill now be read a third time.

The SPEAKER: Does anyone want to speak on the report being noted?

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (11:06): If I may, briefly. As a member of the select committee, I thought it my responsibility to put some perspective from both sides of parliament. I thank the minister for chairing the committee rather well. We had relatively short meetings, and I thank the staff who supported us.

We did go to the effort of consulting with the Gawler community about any position it might hold on the 134 acres relating to this bill. There were no submissions received and, given that the parliamentary debate that occurred about it in the last sitting week was for the support of the opposition for it, I am pleased to see that the report has been noted and that the bill will be supported.

Motion carried.

Third Reading

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (11:07): I would like to thank the honourable member and other members who participated in the committee. It was a harmonious and trouble-free committee, demonstrating the best of the traditions of the parliament, with everyone working together in a positive fashion towards the sunlit uplands. With those few words, I move:

That this bill be now read a third time.

Bill read a third time and passed.
