Heysen Trail

In reply to the Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (18 June 2014).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation): As the Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation I have received this advice:

1. The Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) has insurance arrangements through the South Australian Captive Insurance Corporation (SAICORP). These arrangements provide for public liability covering all departmental reserves. The DEWNR public liability insurance cover extends to sections of the Heysen Trail crossing privately owned land through agreements with individual landholders.

2. The majority of the state's tourist attractions are privately owned or operated. It is the responsibility of individual tourism operators to ensure that they have adequate public liability insurance.

Yourambulla Caves is a tourist attraction that is situated on private land and is not covered by state government public liability insurance.
