Surplus Land Disposal

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:52): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Treasurer, representing the Minister for Planning and Local Government, questions concerning potential surplus land disposal.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: I have received advice from the open space team, Office for Design and Architecture, that a review is being undertaken of the strategic value of all of the minister's landholdings for future open space requirements. It was advised that land parcels deemed surplus and of no strategic value to other government agencies would be subject to a surplus land disposal process by the Urban Renewal Authority via Renewal SA. My questions to the Minister for Planning and Local Government are:

1. Which holdings are being reviewed (a) in respect of the area of holdings in hectares within regions of the metropolitan area and regions of the state and (b) in relation to the range of potential land uses, community values and environmental assets?

2. To what extent is the review process being advertised to facilitate community involvement and input?

3. What point has the review and disposal process reached, and is there an estimated completion date for the review process?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:53): I am happy to take the question on notice and bring back a reply.
