Glenelg Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre

Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) (14:45): My question is to the Minister for Planning. Will the Minister for Planning reject the change of use application for a proposed drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre at 5 Maturin Road, Glenelg?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Morphett, there is a point of order from the member for West Torrens, Leader of Government Business.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Standing order 97, sir, which is: cannot involve purported facts.

The SPEAKER: Very well. I will give the member for Morphett the opportunity to recast.

Mr PATTERSON: My question is to the Minister for Planning. Can the Minister for Planning provide an update on the change of use application for a proposed drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre at 5 Maturin Road, Glenelg? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr PATTERSON: A number of concerned local residents have now launched legal action against the Minister for Health on the basis that the change of use application is not essential infrastructure and is therefore not eligible to be sponsored as a Crown development.

The SPEAKER: I will allow the question.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Chaffey is on a final warning.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning) (14:46): This is an application under section 131 and the development application has been lodged with the State Commission Assessment Panel who formally considered it on 27 September 2023. They have recently provided me with their recommendations and it's now pending decision, but given that there's an application for judicial review before the Supreme Court, I don't propose to give a running commentary about it.
