Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Second Session (51-2) 51 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Question Time Royal Adelaide Hospital ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Urban Development and Planning, as Leader of the Government in this place, a question about the Royal Adelaide Hospital redevelopment. Leave granted. The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: The opposition has been advised by sources within the minister's own department that Woodheads, an international architectural and design firm, has been engaged by the government to undertake structural planning for the Royal Adelaide Hospital site, which will include retention of all existing buildings and the possibility of constructing more buildings on the site. My question is: can the minister guarantee South Australians that, if his government's plans for the Marjorie Jackson-Nelson hospital go ahead, it will restore the current Royal Adelaide Hospital site to parklands? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:37): I think the future of the existing Royal Adelaide site has been made clear by my colleague, the Minister for Health. There are obviously some buildings on that site which, as I understand it, are heritage buildings, but there are obviously a lot of buildings that are not. I will refer those questions to the Minister for Health, who has charge of this matter, and bring back a response.
