Ministerial Statement

BLACKWOOD RAIL OVERPASS

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (16:58): I seek leave to make a ministerial statement.

Leave granted.

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: I need to correct something I said in question time today in response to a question from the member for Davenport. I have nothing to correct regarding what I said about the member for Davenport, but I did say something about the councils in the area to which he referred. I said, because I was advised that way, that seven councillors had been briefed when it was up to seven council officers over the past 12 months who had been briefed. I can indicate that the full council had been offered briefings on two occasions, but declined. I can also indicate on the matter that the council had even made formal comments on the DAC application of the infrastructure in question. No major issues were raised by the council, only subtle design changes, which were requested and, in fact, accommodated by the council. So, while I need to correct that it was not councillors it was in fact council officers, I do not think there is any change to the substance of what I had to say.
