STRATHMONT CENTRE

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:46): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the minister representing the Minister for Disability a question about Strathmont Centre.

Leave granted.

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT: On a recent visit to Strathmont Centre, I was somewhat concerned when visiting one of the villas that, even to me as a visitor, it was uncomfortably cold in the villa. It occurred to me that it would be especially uncomfortable for residents of Strathmont, many of whom have limited mobility. I wonder whether the minister is aware of the issue and I ask what will be done to ensure that the residents of Strathmont are kept comfortable in the winter months especially?

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) (14:47): I thank the honourable member for her important questions about Strathmont Centre. I will refer those questions to the Minister for Disability in another place and bring back a response.
