LYRUP PRIMARY SCHOOL

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (14:48): Supplementary question: does the government have further plans to remove other assets from the site, given the school site is yet to be put out to public tender? There are concerns from the community that the removal of infrastructure will impact on the viability of that potential sale.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:48): The member for Chaffey spoke to me yesterday in the chamber about this school. I am seeking advice. The member for Chaffey yesterday indicated he would like to see the school gifted or made available for purchase to local community groups. The government is amenable to that. I am not aware of any asset program for the school but I will get a detailed answer to him. We agreed yesterday that he would send me some correspondence on it and then I would deal with it. I think it has been less than 24 hours, but we will get some answers to him very soon.
