Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Second Session (51-2) 51 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Housing Policy HOUSING POLICY The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS Legislative Council HOUSING POLICY The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:49): As a further supplementary arising from the minister's answer to my supplementary question, will the minister confirm that he just indicated that the government will not consider extending the suburban rail line east of the Gawler Central station until the electrification process has been completed? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business HOUSING POLICY The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:50): The ministerial development amendment plan process will be put into place in relation to Gawler East, and remember: this project will have anything up to 2,500 homes. It will happen probably over a decade or so; those houses will not be built overnight. Members interjecting: The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: But Western Australia actually has $2 billion of mining revenue. This government has been working on that too. We have been building up the mining industry, but it all takes time; we started from a very low base. This development will take place over a decade or so and, by the time the development is nearing completion—if this government continues in office—the electrification of this city will continue to be rolled out. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! Perhaps putting some wheels on some rusty old boat sheds is the answer.
