Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Smithfield Railway Station SMITHFIELD RAILWAY STATION The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS Legislative Council SMITHFIELD RAILWAY STATION The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (16:05): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Road Safety a question about the Smithfield Railway Station car park. Leave granted. The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS Legislative Council The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS: On 15 March 2007, I asked the minister a question about road safety in relation to cars exiting the Smithfield Railway Station car park. On that occasion, I indicated that I was aware that increasing numbers of people were accessing the Gawler Central rail line at the Smithfield station and that there was significant community concern about road safety issues resulting from the large number of cars exiting the car park onto Anderson Walk. These related particularly to the close proximity of the exit to the queues of cars waiting to cross the adjacent rail level crossing to the east and the resulting delays for car drivers wishing to head west. These concerns were recently echoed at a community meeting I attended in the nearby Peachey Belt area. My question is: given that I have not received any response to this issue (I remind the chamber that the question was asked on 15 March 2007), when will the minister take action to address these concerns? An honourable member Legislative Council An honourable member: The Ides of March. The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO Legislative Council Minister for Correctional Services Minister for Road Safety Minister for Gambling Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (16:06): It was. I thank the honourable member for his question in relation to the Smithfield station car park and the traffic management issues there. I will endeavour to follow up his question and expedite the response. However, more importantly, if it is a matter where an audit can be undertaken, I will ensure that that occurs. Again, I will have to follow up the question at this time, as I am not sure what the delay is.
