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) (15:02): Thank you for your protection, Mr Speaker. I am aware that there are some locals who are interested in having some walking trails around the Hope Valley Reservoir. In fact, there are locals around a number of reservoirs who have some desires to either have more activity that might have been promised by the previous government and not delivered or are interested in a different location of a gate, for example, and so on. SA Water is looking at different ways in which these can be contemplated but always, of course, with the local community in mind and particularly with the very excellent local members who are nearby.
