RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Sandmining The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:35): In the document that was referred to—'Do Adelaide's beaches need help?'—pocket beaches are mentioned. Can the minister explain what a pocket beach is and how that could be a possible solution? The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change Sandmining The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:35): I haven't been briefed on pocket beaches, so I advise the member to read the report and educate himself and I will ask the department to give me a briefing on pocket beaches as well. I can say at the moment that I am not immediately attracted to the idea if it is those small beaches or coves that aren't contiguous with other beaches, but again I will await the advice from my department. I haven't been briefed, to the best of my knowledge, on pocket beaches as yet.
