Vocational Education and Training

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (14:59): Supplementary: my question is again to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Did he seek advice from the Training and Skills Commission about the number of skilled workers required for civil construction in the next five years and, if so, what was the number?

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) (15:00): The advice I have on the number of people that we anticipate to be employed on these jobs is: approximately 480 people on the Torrens to Torrens job, approximately 370 people on the Darlington job, approximately 200 people per year on the O-Bahn job, and approximately 200 people on the Convention Centre build. That is in addition to the approximate over $80 million a year we are spending on road maintenance across our state every year. So yes, I do have estimates of the job impacts of this government's record spend on infrastructure, and yes, we do realise that without that spend the CCF and its members would be doing it very tough.
