Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Second Session (51-2) 51 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Coastal Protection Zone COASTAL PROTECTION ZONE The Hon. C.V. SCHAEFER Legislative Council COASTAL PROTECTION ZONE The Hon. C.V. SCHAEFER (15:23): Can I just confirm, minister, that what you are saying is that you deliberately brought in this interim zone on 14 August as a result of this property owner's application for subdivision on the 8th? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning COASTAL PROTECTION ZONE The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (15:23): No; it certainly has nothing to do with that. I had no knowledge of any particular application; really, it was triggered more by what had happened further down Eyre Peninsula. The Hon. Mark Parnell would be well aware of the cases he has raised in relation to around Searcy Bay, I think it is. Some other issues were raised so, while I was looking at implementing the Eyre Peninsula coastal development strategy, where we had worked with all the local governments in the area to deal with development along that very important coastline on Eyre Peninsula, it was important that I also deal with the coastal land that was not within those council areas. So, it was really my experiences on Eyre Peninsula that enabled me to deal with this matter. At the same time, there were also some pressing issues at Andamooka which did not come under a council area. So, the pressing need was as much to deal with the rapid development issues caused by the Olympic Dam expansion appearing in Andamooka as it had to do with the coastal areas. Of course, all of those areas outside coastal areas are all part of that one development plan, so that was really my motivation for introducing it on an interim basis. While I was dealing with the Andamooka issues, I used the opportunity to also deal with the coastal issues to make them consistent with our policy on Eyre Peninsula.
