PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE: PORT AUGUSTA SPECIAL SCHOOL

Mr ODENWALDER (Little Para) (11:58): I move:

That the 440th report of the committee, on Port Augusta Special School, be noted.

The committee has received a proposal to move the Port Augusta Special School to the Flinders View Primary School site, involving the provision of a new facility at an estimated cost of $7.2 million. It is expected to be completed by November 2013; given that and pursuant to section 12C of the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991, the Public Works Committee reports that it recommends the proposed public work.

Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (11:59): The opposition supports the report.

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (11:59): We certainly support this report, and I would just like to put on the record my thanks to all the people who have contributed to Port Augusta Special School for many years. Port Augusta has a very fine record of supporting children with special needs through the special school and also through Miriam High Special Needs Centre, and I congratulate council on really being a key driving force for the success of that centre. Certainly anything we can do to support children and families of children with special needs anywhere in our state is vitally important; but, of course, I am particularly grateful for that work in the electorate of Stuart and in Port Augusta, and so I wholeheartedly support the redevelopment of our special school.

Motion carried.
