University of South Australia, Magill Campus

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:02): In relation to the minister's answer in which he said that the land to the west of St Bernards Road five years from now will have master planning work done, will the minister commit to engaging much sooner than that—and this year if possible—with the community childcare centre whose lease expires within the next four years?

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning) (15:03): I saw the honourable member raised the issue of the community childcare centre. I understand the lease is coming up. I am happy to have Renewal SA, once the settlement goes through, have a discussion or a consultation with that community childcare centre, but they shouldn't be anxious about it. We won't begin master planning for five years and, in all likelihood, this site will be occupied by the university for the next 10 years, so there is no need for anxiety. We will obviously consult with the childcare centre and with anybody else who it is appropriate to do so.
