Regional Council Amalgamations

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:02): Supplementary question: has the minister spoken directly with the City of Mount Gambier and the District Council of Grant to gauge their views on whether such a plebiscite should be put?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:03): The Minister for Local Government is obviously the lead in regard to this and so that question I will direct to him.
