Festival Plaza Redevelopment

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:45): A supplementary to the same minister: are you satisfied that the Casino development is progressing according to the revised time frame?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:45): What we certainly do have from SkyCity is a commitment to undertake a package of capital works, called an 'early works' package, which is being integrated into the first phase of the Festival Plaza redevelopment. These are some necessary service-type and footing works which will provide the capacity for SkyCity to proceed with their proposed expansion of the Adelaide Casino according to their ability to proceed with the project.

They have released various statements over recent years about their intention to proceed with the development but also some of the challenges, particularly, as I understand it, off the top of my head, procuring the necessary funding for them to proceed with that development. To the extent that I can provide some more information to the deputy leader beyond those comments, I will.
