iPAVe Road Survey

Mr McBRIDE (MacKillop) (14:45): My question is to the Treasurer, representing the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport in the other place. When will the results from the iPAVe road survey be made public? With your leave, Mr Speaker, and the leave of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr McBRIDE: It has been 12 months since the iPAVe completed a road survey across MacKillop and the regions. The minister said it would be released in the second half of this year, but we are still waiting.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:45): We are still in the second half of the year. I accept that the member for MacKillop is very keen to get the iPAVe data. It was an excellent program, initiated by former minister Brock, who is passionate about regional roads. He wouldn't have given that contract out in the South-East that has seen really poor maintenance in the South-East inflicted on people by members opposite when they were last in government, thinking they could get $4 billion worth of servicing for five. But I can assure the house that in the second half of this year that data will be released.
