Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Second Session (51-2) 51 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Maltarra Road Fencing MALTARRA ROAD FENCING The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council MALTARRA ROAD FENCING The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:09): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Emergency Services, representing the Minister for Housing, questions about a proposed six foot high fence for Maltarra Road, Munno Para. Leave granted. The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: A constituent has been in contact with me recently about Housing SA's plans to erect a six foot high fence along the northern side of Maltarra Road, Munno Para. It has been reported to me that this move has been decided without consultation with the tenants in Maltarra Road and that the local MP has told constituents that it is government policy. Certainly, the constituents' immediate neighbours have not asked for, nor do they want, the fencing. I am also advised that some tenants of Maltarra Road have been asking for the dividing fence to be repaired for years and there has been no action, yet this 6-foot high fence (which tenants have described as a monstrosity) has been erected straight away. My questions are: 1.	Has Housing SA consulted the residents of Maltarra Road? 2.	Will the minister explain the reason for construction of the fence? The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO Legislative Council Minister for Emergency Services Minister for Correctional Services Minister for Road Safety Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:10): I will refer the question to my colleague the Minister for Housing in the other place and ensure that the honourable member has a response.
