ADELAIDE AIRPORT

In reply to the Hon. R.D. LAWSON (14 May 2009).

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business): The Government, Department of Planning and Local Government (DPLG), the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) and the Office of Major Projects and Infrastructure (OMPI), are members of the Adelaide Airport Limited (AAL) Consultative Committee for both Adelaide and Parafield Airports. The Committee meets quarterly. The function of the Consultative Committee is to provide an advisory forum for the free exchange of views on airport matters between various sections of the aviation industry and the community, provide airport management with information of developments from others that could have effect on the future of the airport and for airport management to provide and discuss with Committee Members details of airport developments and changes to operations that could affect their respective sector of responsibility.

Membership of the Committee comprises representatives from Local Members of Federal and State Parliament, AAL, Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, State Government Departments, neighbouring Local Government, Airservices Australia, Airline Operators, General Aviation, Concessionaries, State Tourism and Local Interest Groups. In addition to the Consultative Committee, a planning sub-group also meets to specifically discuss planning related issues. Membership of the sub-group comprises the State Government Departments, AAL and neighbouring Local Governments.

The Consultative Committee has informed the government of the preparation of the Adelaide Airport master plan. The government was given the opportunity to informally comment on the initial workings of the master plan. Although, it should be noted that the level of detail that is now presented in the master plan document was not then available. OMPI collated the initial responses on behalf of Government Departments.

The government is aware of the sensitive planning issues that are associated with development at Adelaide Airport. DPLG, DTEI and OMPI are currently undertaking a detailed review of the master plan document to ensure it is in line with relevant State Government policies, in particular the State Strategic Plan and the Planning Strategy for Metropolitan Adelaide. OMPI will collate a whole of government response, which is to be submitted to AAL prior to finalisation of the master plan and consideration by the Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government.
