Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Question Time Royal Adelaide Hospital ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Urban Development and Planning a question about planning advice. Leave granted. The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: The government has had a program called the Thinkers in Residence since shortly after coming to office. In that time three of the thinkers in residence—Mr Charles Landry, Mr Herbert Girardet and, more recently, Ms Laura Lee—have been experts in urban design and architecture. Some two years ago it was leaked out, and became part of the 2007 budget, that the government proposed to build a new hospital on the rail yard site, formerly known as the Marjorie Jackson-Nelson hospital but later changed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital. My question to the minister is: did he or any other member of the government seek advice on the location of that hospital from any of the three thinkers in residence or any other urban design practitioners that they may have contacted? 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) (14:26): The question in respect of the location of the hospital is really for my colleague the Minister for Health, and I will refer it to him.
