          <by role="member" id="599">The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:56):</by>  Supplementary question: given that the minister and I have previously agreed that correct signage at parks is important for the information and safety of visitors, will he bring back to the council information about the replacement of old, outdated signage at the former Para Wirra recreation park—now a conservation park?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3122">The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:57):</by>  I was wondering whether the honourable member would resist asking a supplementary on that question. I knew he could not. Indeed, we have had this discussion and I will be very pleased to come back to the chamber with an update on how we are updating our park signs and our theming and, indeed, how we are utilising new technology, which I think I have referred to before in this place.</text>
        <text id="20161117367d5d7b5fa24f4080000206">We are using RF codes and other such devices with smart phones and iPads, etc., not only to add to basic information but to allow visitors to access cultural information about the unique heritage of our Indigenous communities and our parks, the historical information that is available about our parks and how they have evolved, and the wildlife and fauna that people can expect to see in those parks in a little bit more detail.</text>
        <text id="20161117367d5d7b5fa24f4080000207">The way signage is moving these days is just fantastic. It is certainly beyond me but I am very pleased that we have a whole bunch of young people in the organisation who can take these upgrades even further. For old-timers like the Hon. Mr Dawkins and myself, we will certainly stick to the old-fashioned signage as well, so that we have something for everyone. As I said, I will be very pleased to bring that information back.</text>
