Lot Fourteen

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Have all demolition contracts awarded at the old Royal Adelaide Hospital site gone to the lowest bidder?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:43): I will have to check information in relation to that, but I know obviously there are staged demolition works that have been awarded down at Lot Fourteen, especially in relation to the main building, which is currently being demolished as we speak. I am more than happy to inquire into that matter, but what I would say is that there is a strong process that is undertaken and, in the usual course of business, there are probity advisers who do provide advice during these larger procurement processes, and I am happy to inquire into that further.
