          <by role="member" id="4847">The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (15:04):</by>  To provide, I think, the 10<sup>th</sup> update to this house on variations on the same question, the closure of those three centres that we have identified has not been done on a frequency of transaction basis. It has been done on a proximity to other Service SA centres basis. In relation to the Prospect Service SA, the Regency Park centre is six kilometres from the Prospect centre and the CBD is 5½ kilometres from the Prospect centre.</text>
