Highgate Park

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:24): My question is to the Minister for Disabilities. Can the minister inform the house as to why it is expected to take up to 65 weeks to complete the upgrade of four lifts at Highgate Park, formerly known as the Julia Farr Centre?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:25): I thank the honourable member for his question. The matter was raised with me some time ago. We had to get necessary approvals because the money actually comes from a trust which was set up for the purpose of looking after people in that building.

Ms Redmond: Yes, but you dismantled all of that years ago.

The SPEAKER: The member for Heysen is called to order.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: The trust still exists and we need to go through a process of getting release of the funds from the trust to do that. The latest advice I got was that the tenders had been called for or were about to go out and I anticipate that they will be replaced and repaired as soon as possible, but the exact details I will get for you.
