Northern Expressway

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (15:15): My question is to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, representing the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Can the minister advise how many owners who were dispossessed of their land as a result of the Northern Expressway project are still negotiating with the department with regard to compensation? Can the minister advise how many of these are before the court and the dates on which the notices of acquisition were issued for each property?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:16): I thank the honourable member for his most important question on land acquisition for the Northern Expressway project. I undertake to take that question to the minister in the other place and seek a response on his behalf.
