J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council Adelaide Aquatic Centre The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:09): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport regarding the Adelaide Aquatic Centre. Leave granted. The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: On ABC radio on 6 October, the minister was unable to answer questions regarding the opening date for the Aquatic Centre and later the same day at a press conference she also failed to answer questions in relation to this matter. My question for the minister is: does she now have a opening date for the Adelaide Aquatic Centre? The Hon. E.S. BOURKE Legislative Council Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Autism Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Autism) (15:09): I appreciate there is a lot of excitement around this project. It is an incredible project that is a commitment by the Labor government. It was a commitment we made coming in to the last election and obviously we were successful and it is a project that we are delivering. Our commitment was to open it in the summer of 2025-26 and I am really proud to say that that is exactly what we will be doing. This is a commitment that we will deliver on. It is a project that is a substantial improvement on what was there: an aquatic area that was built piece by piece. It was originally started as an outdoor aquatic centre and now will be a purpose-built aquatic centre, there to support many, many people for generations to come.
