The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:57): By way of supplementary question: can the minister provide information now (or bring it back) in relation to negotiations DEWNR is having with DPTI in relation to upgrading the road signs on the route along Main North Road and along Hilltop Road to the Para Wirra Conservation Park?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:57): The Hon. Mr Dawkins is on the ball, as always. He would have noticed a few weeks ago on our way up to the Para Wirra Conservation Park, formerly recreation park, that DEWNR has now changed our signs, but the big road signs that give tourists, in particular, directions are still the old road signs that refer to a recreation park. I understand that DEWNR is speaking to DPTI about making those changes in the next sign change cycle. I do not have any date before me about when that can be expected, but I will take that question back to my agency and see whether I can bring back an answer for the Hon. Mr Dawkins, who is very keen to see our signage brought up to modern times, reflecting the status of the Para Wirra Conservation Park.
