GAWLER RACECOURSE REDEVELOPMENT

The Hon. M. PARNELL (14:45): I have a supplementary question. In relation to the ministerial development plan amendment, can the minister advise what role private planning consultants played in the writing of that plan; and, in particular, was Connor Holmes involved?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:45): As I said, this is a ministerial development plan amendment, which is obviously under the control of the government. Who actually did the work for the Gawler Racecourse I will have to check. I will get the information from the department and respond to the honourable member as to who prepared the proposal on behalf of the racing authority.

I remind the honourable member that, again, it being a ministerial development plan, it is the department that conducts the process. Obviously, input comes from the racecourse because we need to know what they were proposing. It would not make much sense if you were to do a development plan amendment that did not reflect what the racecourse was proposing. That would be a bit bizarre. So, of course, we will reflect what they want. As to which consultants they have used, I will seek that information.
