Thebarton Police Barracks

Mr BATTY (Bragg) (14:31): My question is to the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services. Has the minister undertaken any consultation in relation to the mounted police barracks site and, if so, what groups has he consulted?

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:31): The advice I have received, as the minister responsible for police, has been directly from my agencies. As has been very well ventilated both publicly and in this place, the advice I have received from SA Police is that the Park 21 site is their preferred option. However, as the Premier has now discussed on more than one occasion, and as recently as in his previous answer, that is one site we are considering. We are doing all our due diligence and will be back advising of the path forward as soon as we can.
