Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide 30-YEAR PLAN FOR GREATER ADELAIDE The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition 30-YEAR PLAN FOR GREATER ADELAIDE The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:24): Given the ambitious targets for urban infill the minister has spoken of, can he explain why the government-owned buildings on the Clipsal site are now up for lease for commercial use rather than demolition for redevelopment? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management 30-YEAR PLAN FOR GREATER ADELAIDE 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) (15:24): I will take that question up with the Land Management Corporation. The Hon. D.W. Ridgway Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: You're the minister for development and you can't understand why— The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: I am not the minister responsible for the ownership of the land. What I do know is that the Clipsal site is being rezoned and will be redeveloped. There may be sites on there which are heritage listed. There may be sites which they are temporarily using. The sort of development at the Clipsal site, along with some of these other major projects, may be a 10 or 15 year life. If there is some short-term lease while that process is going on, I would have thought that would be sensible economics by the department. I am not sure which buildings in particular the honourable member is referring to. Is he referring to the actual Clipsal buildings or the hotel next to it? The Hon. D.W. Ridgway Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Every building on the site has a Knight Frank lease sign. The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: I will seek that information from my colleague through the Land Management Corporation. As I said, if they are using existing buildings while they are preparing their plans and staging it, I would have thought that that was a smart thing to do.
