ADELAIDE OVAL

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): I have a further supplementary. Has the minister been advised of the size of the footprint of the precinct proposed for the Adelaide Oval redevelopment?

The PRESIDENT: The original question.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (14:21): For the third time—and I am happy to waste the time of this chamber if the honourable member keeps insisting on it—these matters are still under consideration, they are still being developed, and there are a number of discussions taking place with a number of different parties.

It would be most inappropriate for details to be released at this point, prior to the completion of this most important project. I can reassure South Australians that it will be something they can be proud of. It will really put South Australia on the map, and it will be something South Australians can be incredibly proud of. It will be quite visionary for this state and, as I said, it is just one of many development proposals underway to give this city a real facelift and something we can all be proud of.
