Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Northern Suburbs Development NORTHERN SUBURBS DEVELOPMENT The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS Legislative Council NORTHERN SUBURBS DEVELOPMENT The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:07): As a supplementary question, has the minister personally inspected the route outlined in the transport framework which he mentioned and which is designed to take traffic from the new Gawler East development south towards Adelaide without going through the already congested Murray Street, Main North Road and Adelaide Road precincts? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business NORTHERN SUBURBS DEVELOPMENT The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:08): My role as Minister for Urban Development and Planning is essentially to ensure that the process of rezoning the land at Gawler East is undertaken in an appropriate manner, but it was the government's view that because transport matters are a key issue in Gawler—and have been for many years, as I am sure the Hon. Mr Dawkins would understand—it was considered appropriate that, simultaneously with the release of the DPA, the report in relation to transport issues should be released. However, they are essentially matters for my colleague the Minister for Transport. As the planning minister, it was certainly my view that we could not adequately address or have the public consider the new development plan without an indication, as has now been provided, of the government's transport policies for that area.
