Thebarton Police Barracks

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Climate, Environment and Water. Will the minister consult Parklands and heritage stakeholders on the government's bill to demolish 10 state heritage buildings at the Thebarton barracks, and will this include public consultation and a public report by the State Heritage Council? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: On 16 February 2022, the now Deputy Premier said, and I quote:

What we will do in Government is change the legislation…and Labor has absolutely no intention of knocking over any state heritage place, but in order to change the rules for the future we would ensure that there would be required public consultation on that…and that the State Heritage Council would be able to make a report on the impact, and that that would be public…so that's our policy.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:45): I stand by the election commitment that we made, and we will be having a report done by the Heritage Council and we will be engaging in public consultation about ways in which the values that exist on that site are able to be preserved in other forms.
