Adelaide Hills Council

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:34): My question is to the Minister for Local Government. Does the minister intend to approve the request of the Adelaide Hills Council to abolish their ward system, despite the opposition of the vast majority of the hundreds of public responses and despite that vote being taken when two councillors opposed to the abolition were on prearranged leave?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (14:34): I was at the Adelaide Hills Council the other night and I have had no official request from the Adelaide Hills Council.
