BUCKLAND PARK

The Hon. M. PARNELL (15:00): I have a supplementary question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. M. PARNELL: Is the minister aware that the former head of Planning SA, ex director Stuart Hart, said, in The Adelaide Review a year ago, before this project had doubled in size, that the Buckland Park proposal was located on land totally unsuited for urban development? What does the minister say to those comments from the former head of his department?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:01): I think Mr Hart prepared the report for Adelaide back in the late 1960s; this government is more interested in preparing policies for the 21st century.
