Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Adelaide Oval Precinct Adelaide Oval Precinct The Hon. F. PANGALLO Legislative Council Adelaide Oval Precinct The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:46): Supplementary: can the Treasurer tell us, have there been any expressions of interest or any discussions entered into with commercial operators to run the hotel and, if so, which ones? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council Treasurer Adelaide Oval Precinct The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:46): Again, minister Stephan Knoll has carriage of this but my understanding is that the Stadium Management Authority made it clear that they are going to operate the hotel themselves, and therefore the answer to the question is no. I don't know whether there were ever any discussions but the current proposal is that there would be no commercial operators operating the hotel. Therefore, to answer the question, 'Which ones?' there will be no commercial operators operating the hotel. I think I have seen media interviews where they have indicated that, within their body of existing management expertise, they have claimed that they have people either with the ability, experience or otherwise to manage a 128-bed hotel, or they will add that or augment their existing staffing to ensure they can operate a commercial hotel premises as part of their business. So the answer to the question is no, but if upon consultation with minister Knoll there is anything different to the answer, I will bring back a different response.
