Port Adelaide

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:02): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier update the house on the government's commitment to move a government department or agency down to Port Adelaide, given that this commitment was first made at the 2012 Port Adelaide by-election?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (15:02): I thank the leader for his question. This is an initiative that the government is very keen on. There was a market sounding event, a request for expression of interest last year, I think it was, and what came out of that process was that some government land had been identified, which wasn't previously identified, as potentially being available to the market when that EOI process was first conducted. So, in order to give people a better and more even opportunity at finding the right solution down at Port Adelaide, attention is specifically being drawn to that parcel of land for the purposes of the project which the leader mentioned.
