In reply to Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (17 July 2014). (Estimates Committee A) (First Session)

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): I have been provided the following advice:

In June 2013 ownership of the Adelaide Station and Environs Redevelopment (ASER) site was transferred from the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure to the Urban Renewal Authority (Renewal SA) by proclamation under the Passenger Transport Act 1994.

The ASER site includes the Adelaide Railway Station and subsidiary sites which are home to the Adelaide Casino, Adelaide Convention Centre, Exhibition Hall and car park, Intercontinental Hotel, Riverside Centre, the northern and southern car parks and common areas and shared facilities.

The ASER site does not include the Festival Plaza or Adelaide Festival Centre car park.

The ASER site does include land which is under consideration by the Adelaide Casino for construction on as part of the Casino upgrade works. The upgrade works may extend past land situated within the ASER site.
