SIMMS Legislative Council Regional Housing The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:25): Supplementary: what steps has the minister taken to ensure that this new housing in the regions is linked to public transport? Has the minister considered the recommendations of the Select Committee on Public and Active Transport in that regard? The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries Regional Housing The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:25): I had a briefing—I think it was the beginning of last week—with the transport department because public transport is such an important part of the infrastructure that is needed, so that is something that is certainly also top of mind. I think housing and workforce are the things that are raised most often with me in my many visits around regional South Australia, but the topic of transport is certainly up there as one of the very common topics as well.
