In reply to the Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (20 November 2007).

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business): The Treasurer has provided the following information:

The amount referred to by the Hon. D.W. Ridgway refers to the annual service charge component of the PPP for the police stations. The service fee covers accommodation, building and grounds maintenance, and other services including waste disposal, cleaning, management of utilities and rates and the provision and maintenance of furniture and equipment.

The contract between the Minister for Infrastructure and Plenary Justice has been published on the SA Contracts and Tenders website since mid December 2005. Some schedules that form attachments to the main body of the contract contain commercially sensitive information that were approved by the relevant delegates for exclusion, and have not been disclosed publicly. The Government has agreed to keep this information confidential and will therefore not be releasing this information to Parliament. Members of the opposition are welcome to download the publicly available version of the contract from the SA Contracts and Tenders website.
