House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Golden Grove Road Golden Grove Road Ms LUETHEN House of Assembly King Golden Grove Road Ms LUETHEN (King) (14:36): My question is to the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government. Can the minister— Mr Malinauskas interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition is on two warnings and continues to talk about Service SA, out of order. The member for King has the call. Ms LUETHEN House of Assembly Ms LUETHEN: Can the minister update the house on the state government's commitment to fix Golden Grove Road? Mr Duluk interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Waite is warned for a second and final time. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly Schubert Minister for Transport Minister for Planning The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:37): Can I say that this is what happens when you see effective advocacy from both outside of the parliament and then, once elected, inside the parliament. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: Fantastic advocacy— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Reynell is called to order. The member for Ramsay is called to order. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —from the then candidate for King and the subsequent member for King. I know that the now Minister for Industry and Skills lost many a kilo waving signs up and down Golden Grove with the candidate for King, and long may that continue. Just released for this project is— Mr Boyer interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Wright is warned. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —a preliminary concept design. The design includes a new roundabout at the junction of Golden Grove Road and Hancock Road; additional lanes at the intersection of Golden Grove Road, the Grove Way and Yatala Vale Road; protected right-hand turn lanes at most unsignalised junctions; on-road bike lanes in each direction; improved pedestrian facilities, including a new footpath and pedestrian crossing facilities; and indented bus bays. Also included as part of this project will be kerbing, guttering, drainage, targeted road resurfacing— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —and new and upgraded road lighting. Construction for these works is scheduled to commence in the first half of 2019 and all construction works are expected to be completed by mid-2020. I had the great fortune of being with the member for King as we went and had a look at this road and had a look at some of the real issues that exist. Certainly, some of the major traffic treatments that we are talking about are important. Especially important to the Tea Tree Gully council, when we were out there talking with them, were the drainage issues that exist for the residents who live on the low side next to Golden Grove Road. This is a very important project for the people of the north-east, and this is what happens when solid and dependable advocates go out and they deliver for their communities. This is only a preliminary concept design— The Hon. L.W.K. Bignell interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Mawson is warned. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —and the department is going out to hold three information sessions next week. For those opposite who might like to go along to provide feedback, we will be at the DS Goodes Pavilion on the corner of Yatala Vale and Hancock roads, Surrey Downs, on Tuesday 20 November between four and 6.30, Wednesday 21 November between 11am and 2pm, and Saturday 24 November between 1pm and 4pm. This is another example of a government delivering on the promises that we took to the election, promises that we made to the South Australian people. With the strong and disciplined approach that the Marshall Liberal government has taken to the 2018-19 budget, we have been able to make sure that we can deliver— The Hon. Z.L. Bettison House of Assembly The Hon. Z.L. Bettison: Did you put that in the election material, that you're going to cut the Service SA office? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Ramsay is warned. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —on the promises that we made to the South Australian people and show the people of the north-east and the people who live in the King electorate that we are a government that does what we say we are going to do. The Hon. Z.L. Bettison House of Assembly The Hon. Z.L. Bettison: Except when we don't tell them we're going to do it. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Ramsay is warned for a second time. The member for Kaurna has the call.
