Question Time

Adelaide Beach Management Review

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): My question is to the Attorney-General regarding the Adelaide beach management review. When will the government's review of sand management for the north-western beaches start, and when does the Attorney expect the review to be completed?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:26): I thank the honourable member for her question. I know that there has been a substantial amount of preliminary work that has occurred in relation to the review that the honourable member refers to. I think, off the top of my head—and I will check if it's correct—the formal review will start in the coming weeks and is expected to take 12 months to complete, taking into account scientific evidence in relation to this issue. I know that there has been a lot of work done to make sure the review takes into account a range of views, and in particular working to ensure there is proper Kaurna representation on the review panel.
