Marryatville High School Library

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:07): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the minister representing the Minister for Education and Child Development questions regarding the Marryatville High School library and the Public Works Committee.

Leave granted.

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT: The 445th report of the Public Works Committee was tabled on 17 May 2012. It concerned the redevelopment of the Marryatville High School library and clearly states that the library was to be refurbished. The site plans presented to the committee showed a library, referred to as a research hub, in the same location as the then existing library. My questions to the minister are:

1. When did the plans for the Marryatville High School library change and who authorised the changes?

2. Were progress reports made to the Public Works Committee to inform on the project's progress and, if not, why not?

3. Were variations of significance fully explained to the committee and, if not, why not?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:08): I thank the honourable member for her most important question on the subject of the Marryatville High School library. I undertake to take that question to the Minister for Education and Child Development in another place and bring back a response on her behalf.
