          <by role="member" id="3489">The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE:</by>  The now named Don Hopgood Theatre at the Noarlunga Centre is a TAFE-owned facility still, as far as I understand. For some time, that facility has been run down, albeit that there are a lot of people in the southern community who want to access the arts and festivals, etc. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="20140924075e938c3d8d4e4ba0000070">1.&amp;#x9;Can the minister confirm whether or not she has sold the TAFE theatre at Noarlunga?</text>
        <text id="20140924075e938c3d8d4e4ba0000071">2.&amp;#x9;If not, has she or her department sought to sell the theatre to the City of Onkaparinga?</text>
        <text id="20140924075e938c3d8d4e4ba0000072">3.&amp;#x9;What are the plans for the Noarlunga theatre into the future?</text>
        <text id="20140924075e938c3d8d4e4ba0000073">4.&amp;#x9;If the government is going to keep the Noarlunga theatre (Don Hopgood Theatre), what is it going to do to modernise it so that it becomes a useful asset to the southern community?</text>

I am not aware of any proposed changes to that centre. I will have to take that on notice and bring back a response. I am just not aware of the details around that. I am not aware of any proposed changes, but I will double-check that and bring that information back.</text>
