Field River Valley

In reply to the Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) ((23 June 2022).). (Estimates Committee A)

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): I have been advised:

Two separate land acquisitions constitute the Field River Valley project. One portion of land, formerly managed by the Commissioner for Highways, was acquired for a purchase price of $1,640,013. The second portion of land, formerly privately owned, was acquired for the purchase price of $1,350,000. This amounts to the total project cost of $2.990 million on page 138 of the Agency Statement.

The figure on page 40 of the Budget Measures Statement is comprised of the purchase price for the private land ($1,350,000) and operating and restoration initiatives following acquisition ($500,000). The purchase price for the Commissioner for Highways land ($1,640,013) is not included on this page of the Budget Measures Statement.
