Question Time

Gillman Land Sale

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:01): My question is to the Premier. Why did the Premier enter into a deal with Adelaide Capital Partners for the development of 400 hectares of land at Gillman to create 6,000 jobs when the Renewal SA master plan for the site says that 6,000 jobs could be created by developing just 240 hectares of land at Gillman?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (14:02): I think some answers were given yesterday indicating the nature of the engagement between the proponents of this particular project and the government. As I think was made clear yesterday, the arrangements constitute—as I think we described it eventually yesterday—an opportunity for them to have an option, in effect, over the arrangements. I know of no particular proposition from Renewal SA to the effect of the formulation offered by the leader, but if he wishes to direct me to that, I will make due inquiry.
