Hahndorf Bypass

Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (14:18): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. What, if any, works were undertaken on River Road in recent days, including last weekend, and to what extent were such works undertaken at night and at what cost premium and why? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TEAGUE: I observed road widening works being done on the length of River Road last Friday afternoon, 27 October, including spraying shoulder surfacing. Within hours, residents reported observing trucks on River Road in the dark, late on Sunday night, 29 October, and into the early hours of Monday morning until 5am, 30 October, undertaking what appeared to be line marking.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:19): There has been tree trimming, tree clearance, shoulder sealing and line marking. When those works were conducted in terms of the time frame, I will go and check. But if works were conducted at night, I would like the member to provide me with evidence of that, and I will absolutely take it up with the department.
