Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Second Session (51-2) 51 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Police Headquarters POLICE HEADQUARTERS The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition POLICE HEADQUARTERS The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): I have a supplementary question. Given that the minister is talking about $38 million as the current estimate for the fit-out, what is the current estimate for the annual rent or lease on the premises to which the police intend to move? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning POLICE HEADQUARTERS The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:26): I do not have those sorts of details. I am happy to get them and— The Hon. D.W. Ridgway interjecting: The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: What does the honourable member think? The government will shortly call for registrations of interest for the new building. What you need to do in government when budgeting is put money aside for the future to allow for the costs. You have to base it on estimates. Members interjecting: The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: The figure I am releasing—the $38 million—is the cost involved in relocation. However, obviously the ongoing lease costs will depend on the registrations of interest. How do you know what the rent will be until you know which building you will be moving into? The government has said that it would like to go into five-star accommodation, and it is government policy that it should do so. Of course, when those registrations of interest come in, I guess the government will have the option of whether it leases or seeks to provide its own building. However, at this stage it is asking for registrations of interest.
