OPEN SPACE AND PLACES FOR PEOPLE GRANTS

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:49): I have a supplementary question. Minister, given your alleged commitment to open space, will you guarantee that those communities that are about to have their schools closed for the so-called super schools program that their land will be kept as open space?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:49): The fate of all government land is determined by Premier's Instruction 114, and any land that is disposed of has to adhere to that instruction. Under this government, there has been a significant amount of increase in important open space land. I would be only too happy to go through all the extra land that has been provided through the $36 million of the P&D Fund, even though it would take me the rest of question time.
