Adelaide Parklands

Mr BATTY (Bragg) (14:20): Supplementary: will Park 21 West in the Adelaide Parklands remain open to the public?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:20): The Park 21 West site is open to the public now. As to the public more broadly, wherever the Mounted Operations Unit goes it will have elements of it that are accessible to the public and elements that aren't. With the Mounted Operations Unit in place now at the Thebarton Barracks site, of course the police horses are in the Parklands, in the Olive Grove site. They are somewhat accessible by the public. Many of us would have been down there, adjacent to the Road Safety Centre. Your kids can go up pretty close to that boundary and the horses are often in close proximity to the boundary on occasions, but it is ultimately a secure site in many respects to protect the Mounted Operations Unit, that is the horses, as you would reasonably expect.
