University of South Australia, Magill Campus Land Transfer

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Planning. When will Renewal SA complete its work on recommendations for the Magill UniSA site and will their report be released publicly, including details of the community consultation?

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning) (14:52): Renewal is currently working on the master plan, which Oxigen have been doing. We extended out the time, the honourable member would recall, for public consultation because we thought that was important. Renewal are currently obviously analysing that and working with Oxigen about the future of the Magill campus, bearing in mind there are two sections of the campus, east and west of St Bernards Road. Obviously, the community is understandably interested and has many opinions. Of course, I don't think we have—

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: Yes, well, and lots of worthy ideas for the campus's future, bearing in mind that the university will continue to operate there for some time. We are working. We have brought forward the master plan. We have extended community consultation. We are committed to working with the community. I do not think there's any issue with making the community consultation element of it public, like the results and likelihood, although we would have to be careful of people's personal addresses and the like, personal details. I don't think there will be many surprises in there for the honourable member or for the community because many of those issues have been well aired at community meetings, on Facebook and in various other places.

Of course, we have to be mindful. This is a very important site for the state, and we do in this case have the luxury of time, so we want to do the master plan properly. It's one of the reasons why we appointed Oxigen, because they have, if you like, a good record of doing master planning of this nature. We will continue to work with the community and the local council and, of course, the individual local MPs in the area.
