PUBLIC TRANSPORT, ADELAIDE HILLS

The Hon. M. PARNELL (14:33): I have a supplementary arising from the original answer. Even if the rezoning of new employment land takes place in Mount Barker, what proportion of the increase in population of workers does the government expect will commute to Adelaide by private car? If it is not 60 per cent, as it is at present, what figure does the government say it will be?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (14:34): Obviously those figures are just projections, but what the 30-year plan does is have the employment targets for the region. Clearly, they are commensurate with the population growth. As to what percentage that relates to, it would be easy enough to do that calculation, but I will take it on notice and get back to the honourable member.
