VICTORIA PARK REDEVELOPMENT

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:05): My question is to the Minister for the City of Adelaide. Does the minister believe that the 11-month time line to assemble and disassemble the temporary grandstand fits with her demands made in her public submission to the Adelaide City Council? In the minister's submission to the Adelaide City Council she said:

I believe that any negotiations with the lessee should include a time limit for removal of temporary infrastructure.

The Hon. J.D. LOMAX-SMITH (Adelaide—Minister for Education and Children's Services, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (15:06): I thank the deputy leader for her question. She is, of course, referring to the usual yearly activities. Clearly, the first year is not a usual year. There is a particular extra time delay in digging trenches and putting in wiring, and I expect everyone would understand that the first year is quite different.
