Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Globe Derby Park GLOBE DERBY PARK The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council GLOBE DERBY PARK The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:02): Has the minister for planning, or anyone from his office, made any contact with officials from Harness Racing South Australia to explain what his office is doing with regard to the Globe Derby Park rezoning saga? 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 GLOBE DERBY PARK 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) (15:03): I did ask the deputy CE, who was going to ring them, whether he has yet done so. I am not sure, but I did raise with him yesterday whether or not he was able to get on to him. As I said, I have not had that confirmed, but it was certainly my request. It was only yesterday that I made a ministerial statement— The Hon. T.J. Stephens Legislative Council The Hon. T.J. Stephens: Didn't you actually give him that courtesy? The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! The minister said he has made contact. The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: I asked yesterday, following the decision in relation to that. Any proposal for development is really a matter for the marketplace. After all, all the Housing and Employment Land Supply Program does is list the information provided to the department in relation to where the proposals are regarding land development. What that HELSP program does is provide information to the marketplace about that. We just gather the information; it does not mean that we are the drivers of it. The Department of Planning and Local Government is not a property developer. We are not involved in property development, but what we do is provide that information. I have been advised that the deputy CE of the department has apparently arranged a meeting with Harness Racing tomorrow, but the information that we will be able to provide to him is, of course, what I provided in my ministerial statement yesterday. As I said, the future of that organisation is, and always has been, in the hands of the committee that runs the body.
