PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE: CEDUNA HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT

Mr KENYON (Newland) (17:05): By leave, I move:

That the 354th report of the committee, entitled Ceduna Hospital Redevelopment, be noted.

The Ceduna Hospital redevelopment, I suspect, is long awaited in Ceduna. It is another good development and part of a continual series of redevelopments and upgrades that are coming through the Public Works Committee at the moment. This is another good one. When it is finished, it will have a great outlook over the ocean. If you were not sick, you would probably pay to stay there. It is going to be in a beautiful location and it looks as though it will be a nice building. Hopefully, it will contribute significantly to the health of the area. I commend the report to the house.

The Hon. G.M. GUNN (Stuart) (17:06): I would like to speak in support of this particular motion, having visited the hospital on many occasions and having my name on a plaque on a wall in one part of that hospital, I can say that I am very pleased that the Ceduna Hospital is going to be improved again. It is a part of South Australia which is very near and dear to my heart, having had an office in that town for a number of years from which I could look out the window across the bay. It was a very pleasant spot and I have spent a lot of productive and enjoyable times there. I must say that I greatly appreciate the strong support that community gave me when I had the pleasure of representing them and I think it is very worthy that their health facilities are improved.

Mr KENYON (Newland) (17:06): Having just found out that there is a plaque with the honourable member's name on it, I will endeavour to have the minister preserve the plaque for posterity at a later time.

Motion carried.
