Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Mount Barker MOUNT BARKER The Hon. M. PARNELL Legislative Council MOUNT BARKER The Hon. M. PARNELL (14:58): I have a supplementary question. In relation to the draft ministerial development plan amendment that the minister referred to, can the minister confirm whether the appropriately-qualified person required under legislation to take control of that project is, in fact, a person associated with the consulting firm of Connor Holmes? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business MOUNT BARKER The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:58): The honourable member was not listening. I said that the ministerial development plan will be under the control of the Department of Planning and Local Government as, indeed, all ministerial development plans are. As I also indicated in relation to that matter, the landowners—the honourable member can call them developers if he likes or landowner/developers; they are the landowners—have engaged their own planning consultants to provide documentation towards the process. However, the process will be under the control of the Department of Planning and Local Government and it will be conducted in conjunction with the Mount Barker council. With these sorts of significant development plan amendments, particularly ministerial ones, some of that documentation is provided from the landowners or through the planning consultants that landowners employ but it is all double-checked by the department. We get input from other government departments but the process itself is very much under the control of the Department of Planning and Local Government.
