Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): A final supplementary: minister, was the relocation of Incitec Pivot to the Gillman area part of the government's agreement to purchase Incitec's existing site at Port Adelaide?

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) (14:41): Again, I would have to check whether or not there is any formal arrangement there, but my recollection of the whole proposition is as I have already indicated to the parliament. The storage of certain materials in that precinct is anathema to a commercial and residential development in that precinct adjacent to a warehouse for particular chemicals, which it was, so of course there were discussions with Incitec Pivot about how we might achieve the benefit of having a large area of the port that would otherwise have been, in effect, sterilised for any sort of reasonable development to become available at some point in time for appropriate development.

Obviously there were conversations with them and, as I have already said, my recollection is that there was some opportunity made available for them to have a relocation option in the general vicinity. But if you are wanting the fine grain on that, obviously I would need to look at whatever documents are involved and seek advice on that.
