          <by role="member" id="4343">The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (14:56):</by>  I thank the member for the question. I have had some advice which I was, I believe, in the process of responding through the standard question on notice procedure. So perhaps rather than go through that, I can just provide what I understand to be the case.</text>

        <text id="202003049f23802aa03240b480000682">Following the initial inquiry received in 2017, I understand that TAFE and the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure have been finalising an agreement for the DPTI Facilities Services regional office to relocate into a small portion of a long-term underutilised building on the Port Pirie campus. The advice, as I understand it, suggests that the office in question is underutilised and, if the member has any information suggesting that it is not, then I would certainly welcome that.</text>
