Ocean Park

In reply to Mr SPEIRS (Bright) (1 August 2017). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change): I have been advised:

Yes, the 'Adventures in Australia' exhibit at Ocean Park Hong Kong depicts South Australia.

The 'Adventures in Australia' exhibit is an immersive, walk-through experience, designed to encourage tourism and educate OPHK guests about South Australia, our climate, culture, fauna and flora, as well as to share critical messaging about environmental sustainability and conservation.

Guests to the exhibit currently view a video about South Australia prior to proceeding through a film corridor depicting signs and tourism images of South Australia. Inside the exhibit, further images and signage provide information about Indigenous culture, the South Australian outback, National Parks, Kangaroo Island and the Adelaide Central Business District (including Adelaide Oval and the Festival Theatre precinct).

Messaging is translated into English. The exhibit also symbolises the importance of the long-standing, close ties between South Australia and Hong Kong and our shared commitment to sustainability and conservation.
