LE CORNU SITE

The Hon. M. PARNELL (15:03): By way of supplementary question, having approved a six-storey development is it the minister's intention now to introduce a ministerial development plan amendment to raise the general height levels in that part of North Adelaide from three storeys to six storeys?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:03): No, it is not, but we need to see through the whole of Adelaide a general raising of height. If we are to achieve the planning review's goals of its aspirational target of 70 per cent of new development coming from infill, brown fill high-rise development, as opposed to green fill development—and I hope members of the Greens accept that we need to move away from urban sprawl—we will have to have higher developments, but they need to be put in the right location.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas: No-one is listening.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: I have been asked a question and I will answer it. Members opposite do not want to hear it—they never do. How else could you be in this place for 26 years and be sitting on the back bench? To achieve the density that we require, the best way of doing that is to have that more intensive development with transit oriented developments along major corridors. That is the way to achieve the population targets this government has set. The population will grow. We will need several hundred thousand more houses within the state, and to accommodate them we will need to put them in that extra density in more suitable locations. Generally they will be along corridors. This government has a cohesive policy. The rabble opposite do not, as they are knockers and whingers.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas interjecting:

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: Why have members opposite come out and said that they support the Le Cornu development? What dishonest frauds they are! If the Hon. Rob Lucas believes it, why does he not get out and campaign? If he wants to get back at his leader in another place, why does he not say that if the Liberals were in government we would not have allowed this development to go ahead? They will not say that. They are far too dishonest for that. This government is quite happy to stand by the decision and to be judged on it.
