Answers to Questions

Highgate Park

52 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (27 May 2014).

1. How many Disability SA consumers are in Highgate Park and when are they scheduled to leave?

2. What is the long-term plan for Highgate House and how many non-government organisations will use the facility?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

1. As at July 2014, there are 92 people living at Highgate Park.

The future of people living at Highgate Park will be considered in the context of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

2. There are currently a number of non-government and community organisations utilising facilities at Highgate Park and the Fullarton campus.

The long-term future of Highgate Park is still under consideration.
