Shack Sites

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:57): I have a supplementary question. Can the minister explain why there are only 239 valuations when there are 450 shack sites, and the cost was only $36,000?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:57): The cost wasn't only $36,000. The cost, as I mentioned a few moments ago, was $46,000 GST inclusive for the 239 valuations. That's what I am advised happened in the year 2014-15. That was the information I gave to the chamber. I can only surmise that some may not have had valuations done or they were done at an earlier time. Again, go back and read the Hansard, the Hon. Mr Darley, where I said:

I am advised that in the 2014-15 financial year a total of 239 valuations were carried out by independent valuers in private practice to determine the unimproved market value of these shack sites.

I went on further to say:

I am further advised that these 239 valuations cost approximately $46,000 inclusive of the GST.
