The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:26): My question is the Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, representing the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. I understand that the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure has provided letters to about 60 property owners in the vicinity of the proposed Darlington interchange.
The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Darley, is leave granted for a brief explanation?
The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: I was just asking a question.

I understand that the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure has provided letters to about 60 property owners in the vicinity of the proposed Darlington interchange advising them that their properties are to be acquired. Can the minister advise:
1. How many of these properties will be valued by private-sector valuers acting under instructions from the department, and what is the estimated cost of these valuations?
2. How many of these properties will be valued by departmental valuers, and what is the estimated cost of these valuations?

HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:28): I thank the honourable member for his most important questions on the subject of the Darlington interchange and the Department of Transport's correspondence. I undertake to take that question to the minister in the other place and seek a response on the honourable member's behalf.
