Tennyson Dunes

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Final supplementary: will this report be effectively an environmental impact statement, or will an environmental impact statement be required once you have made a decision to build a concrete path through the dunes?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:29): I thank the honourable member for his important supplementary question, if it is such. I will wait and see what the report is—it is a design report from DEWNR—and then actions will flow from that. There has been extensive consultation with the community, the City of Charles Sturt and with our professionals in the Adelaide Mount Lofty Region NRM Board, and it is the final report of the design of the pathway through the conservation park, for which I am responsible, and I am awaiting that quite eagerly.
