30-YEAR PLAN FOR GREATER ADELAIDE

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:45): As a further supplementary question, at the risk of repeating myself, why are the maps not to scale? It is a simple question.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (14:45): If you have the 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide on an A4 piece of paper, because the 30-year plan that most would have is on an A4 frame, then how does one do a scale diagram? As we get into the development plans which flow out of it, then clearly they will be looking at a much greater scale and much greater detail. I would certainly not accept that those maps of the 30-year plan are in any way misleading. They illustrate it. Obviously, if you are putting Adelaide, or parts of it, on an A4 page, then there is a question of scale.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: It is sneaky.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: What is sneaky about it? I really do not understand what the honourable member means. The 30-year plan sets out the broad principles. It was adopted as part of the planning strategy. What we now need to do is to translate that, and that is why there are a number of development plan amendments for greenfield areas and now we will be starting upon those areas within the current metropolitan boundaries, particularly beginning with the inner-city areas, because that is the mechanism by which we will give effect to the objectives set out in the 30-year plan.
