RIVERLAND SUSTAINABLE FUTURES FUND

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:49): What work is the minister and her department doing to address the lack of budget accommodation, which is impacting on the availability of affordable housing for seasonal fruit pickers in the Riverland?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:49): I understand that some work has been done on the caravan site to help address that. Also, one of the hotels which burnt down fairly recently is looking at a proposal to redevelop part of that as well, which we have indicated fairly enthusiastically, although obviously we have not seen anything finalised yet, it has not gone through the full process. So, there are a number of things in the pipeline, so to speak, to help address accommodation at that level.
