South-Eastern Link Road

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (15:05): Can the Minister for Road Safety update the house as to the steps he has taken to ensure that the South-Eastern link road, as he calls it, is built in this term of government, as outlined in his Address in Reply speech on 21 May when he said, 'I will continue to lobby to have the South-Eastern link road built—a key element of the Gawler East development'?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:06): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I assume that question is in my capacity as a local member, because it would be a matter for the Minister for Infrastructure.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Newland is warned.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: Having said that, Mr Speaker, I am happy to advise that I have had a number of discussions with both developers for that Gawler East development and the relevant ministers to progress the matter.

An honourable member: How's it going?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: It is progressing.
