Superloop Adelaide 500

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:56): Thank you, Mr President. Have funds been allocated for the dismantling of the stands at the Superloop after the event, which the Premier or the government had promised that they would allocate funds that would remove the stands a lot sooner than we have expected in the past?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:56): Yes, funds have been made available to the South Australian Tourism Commission to remove the grandstand quicker than last season. We are trying to get it down as quickly as we can. Every year, the team from the motorsport group within Events SA look at ways of getting it up quicker—so taking less time before the start—and to get it down quicker. It's always a challenge to get it up and down and to make sure we don't compromise worker safety. There are some occupational health and safety issues where, if you try to do it too quickly, you do put workers' lives or their wellbeing at risk. Nonetheless, I can assure the honourable member that it will come down in the quickest possible time this year.
