Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Personal Explanation Personal Explanation Building Advisory Committee BUILDING ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development Minister for Urban Development and Planning Minister for Small Business The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:30): I seek leave to make a personal explanation. Leave granted. The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: During question time the Leader of the Opposition asked me a supplementary question about the Chair of the Building Advisory Committee. In my answer I incorrectly stated that the appointment of the Chair of that committee pre-dated me as Minister for Urban Development and Planning. I am advised that he was appointed by the previous government to the Building Rules Assessment Commission and that he has been a part-time commissioner of the ERD Court since 1994. In relation to the number of building surveyors, I have been unable to check the exact number, but I am advised— The Hon. D.W. Ridgway Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: I didn't ask you that. The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: No, but I referred to the number. The number of total building surveyors may be several hundred. The number with engineering qualifications is likely to be much smaller, and the Chair of the Building Advisory Committee has qualifications in both engineering and building surveying.
