GLENSIDE HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (15:24): My question is to the Minister for Housing and Urban Development. Will the minister confirm whether transitional accommodation for mental health patients at the Glenside campus will actually be counted as part of the 15 per cent affordable housing component required by all new housing developments?

The SPEAKER: I am not sure who that was directed to, but the Minister for Health?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts) (15:25): This is a good try by the member for Bragg, but the transitional arrangements for the houses that the member is referring to were opened a year or so ago and are going very well.

Ms Chapman: But will they be counted?

The Hon. J.D. HILL: Will they be counted against what? There is no other—

Ms Chapman: Against the housing development.

The Hon. J.D. HILL: But which housing development?

Ms Chapman: Next door.

The Hon. J.D. HILL: No, it is a separate development, member for Bragg.
