House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Cheltenham Parade Intersection Cheltenham Parade Intersection Mr SZAKACS House of Assembly Cheltenham Cheltenham Parade Intersection Mr SZAKACS (Cheltenham) (14:23): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Will the minister advise when the much-needed upgrade to the Cheltenham Parade-Port Road intersection will begin? The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly Schubert Minister for Transport Minister for Planning Cheltenham Parade Intersection The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:23): I thank the member for Cheltenham for his question. I am delighted to let the member know that there has been significant progress on this project and—hang on, we are talking about West Lakes Boulevard/Port Road/Cheltenham Parade; that's the one? There was $6 million that was in there— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! We have the question; let's hear the answer. Mr Duluk interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Waite is called to order. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: Anyway, $6 million was previously provided for in the 2017-18 budget. That money has continued there in the 2018-19 budget and is continuing to be there for that project. It has taken a little bit of time to get the scope of this project correct given that it is quite a busy intersection. Some of the potential treatments out there would have been in excess of the $6 million budget. Having said that, we have now come to a landing on the right solution for that very busy intersection. I will get a fulsome answer for the member in terms of the exact nature of the treatments, but making sure that there is better right-hand turn access from West Lakes Boulevard onto Port Road is probably the most important part of helping to improve that intersection. I can confirm that there was $6 million in last year's budget and that money continues to be there. In fact, I believe that the rollout, and the delivery of that intersection, is happening in a short period of time.
