Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:59): My question is to the Minister for Housing and Urban Development. Is the minister aware that only $10 million is budgeted to be received in the 2016-17 year from the Gillman sale. If he is aware, can he explain whether he has any confidence whatsoever that there will be a settlement of $45 million to be paid by 1 November which will occur?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:59): I thank the deputy leader for her question. I am aware that in the past few weeks some evidence was given by executives of Renewal SA about the amount of money that was budgeted in either the current or forthcoming financial year.

I am not able to recall off the top of my head what the nature of that evidence was, but I will check it. Suffice to say, there is, on the successful completion of this land transaction, I think the payment of—again off the top of my head—$45 million which needs to be paid. There is a due date for that transaction approaching in November, I believe it is, and we are hoping that that transaction is concluded successfully.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary, deputy leader.
