Sellicks Beach Housing Development

Mr TELFER: A supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: We will see if it's a supplementary.

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:42): When will that area be available for housing?

The SPEAKER: That's not a supplementary. That's a separate question.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning) (14:42): As I said before to those opposite, those opposite always yell, 'Slabs down, slabs down, slabs down.' If you want to go and see slabs down, you can go all over the city, all over the regions too, because we believe in building public housing, we believe in having Renewal SA out there doing developments, doing direct delivery, 5,000 properties. Those opposite would can that role of Renewal SA, they would close up shop. There wouldn't be a Southwark, there wouldn't be anything going on in Bowden, there wouldn't be anything going on in Playford Alive, there wouldn't be anything happening in Noarlunga. You would close it all up, just as you would close up regional housing as well.

So we know those opposite talk a great game on slabs. They didn't deliver any in government and their policies won't deliver any in the future. So what this government aims to do with the rezoning of this land—Sellicks, Concordia, Dry Creek and Onkaparinga Heights—is rezone it so that the private sector can bring this housing to market. And what happens? We rezone it, then the private owners have to take it through land division and then they do civil works and then they sell the blocks. So our job in the Housing Roadmap is that we undertook to rezone these areas and we will.
