SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): My question is again to the Minister for Climate, Environment and Water. Has the minister investigated how many trees will need to be felled to construct the Southern Expressway on/off ramps at Majors Road? Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, member for Frome, member for Unley! Order, member for Wright, member for Hurtle Vale! The Hon. S.E. CLOSE House of Assembly Port Adelaide Deputy Premier Minister for Industry Minister for Defence and Space Industries Minister for Climate The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:30): The final plans have not yet been determined and therefore exactly the way in which the configuration will be managed is yet to be clarified. My department is certainly actively involved in helping to determine that with an eye to preserving as much healthy native vegetation as possible. The Hon. D.G. Pisoni interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Member for Unley! The Hon. S.E. CLOSE House of Assembly The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: I understand it is possible that part of what might be taken up is at the moment a car park, so I think the idea of presenting this as being something going through a major national park—I don't know, like putting seven soccer pitches in the middle of Belair National Park, for example—is not really necessarily equivalent. We will be working through, making it as light a touch as possible.
