CAR PARKING LEVY

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:09): I accept your wise advice, but I only need to be told once. Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question again is to the Premier: given the Premier's ministerial statement, can the Premier advise if the parking at the new RAH site will be subject to car park tax and, if it's not, why has it been put in the proposed draft boundary?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (15:10): My advice is that the levy won't apply to short-term visitor parking on the grounds of the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

Ms Chapman: Not the current one but the new one.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: I will bring back an answer to that, but I presume the arrangements will be the same. At the time the levy comes into play, the arrangements will still be in place for the Royal Adelaide Hospital on its present site. That will be the arrangement from that period up until the period in 2016, I understand, when there will be new arrangements for, presumably, parking at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. I will bring back an answer, but I presume the arrangements will remain in the same way, with applicable changes.
