In reply to Mr COWDREY (Colton) (3 July 2023). (Estimates Committee A)

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): I have been advised:

Following extensive investigations of alternative options, the decision to remove the western footbridge from the scope of works was made at a project steering committee meeting in March 2023, due to prohibitive cost and time impacts to the project.

The community was advised of the change in scope of the redevelopment works in Green Adelaide's newsletter issued on 5 June 2023. This was the first scheduled communication following the decision of the project steering committee to remove the western footbridge from the scope of redevelopment works.
