House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Hahndorf Bypass Hahndorf Bypass Mr TEAGUE House of Assembly Heysen Hahndorf Bypass Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. Can the minister advise the house what, if any, works are being undertaken along River Road near Hahndorf and at Mylor and, if so, at what cost? With your leave, sir, and that of the house I will explain. Leave granted. Mr TEAGUE House of Assembly Heysen Mr TEAGUE: On 12 September, the minister stated in the house 'any maintenance work that we do on that road will go through the appropriate planning approvals'. The next day, 13 September, residents are being hand-delivered notices by DIT confirming the, quote, 'upgrade' works were to commence on 14 September. Currently on River Road, a local government road, local residents are observing three teams of workers undertaking what appear to be significant works. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Energy and Mining The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:47): We are tree trimming. We are tree trimming and we will be shoulder sealing. I notice that a lot of residents have complained about there not being adequate shoulders on the road; we are fixing that. A lot of residents have complained that there can't be vehicles that can stay in their lanes because of trees having their branches over the roadways, so we are tree trimming. We are doing everything we should be doing, and we are making sure that the works are being done in advance so we can complete our commitment of taking trucks off the main street of Hahndorf. As to the cost, I don't have an accurate number for the cost as yet, but I understand it's under $2 million. But I will check and get back to the house with a more accurate number so the member can go back to his constituents with an appropriate report.
