The Hon. M.C. PARNELL (14:59): Supplementary question to the Treasurer: is the government considering a model where, if a planning approval is not obtained within a certain shortened period of time, the approval will be automatic?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:59): I am not aware of that. The details of the federal government scheme were only finally revealed to us last night and this morning, so this issue that the industry sector has raised has only been as of this morning. Whether it is since 10 o'clock this morning and 3 o'clock this afternoon that this particular proposal the honourable member has raised has been canvassed, I have no knowledge. All I know is that I think we would all share the concern, expressed through the Hon. Mr Pangallo, that unnecessary local government planning restrictions that might hold up access to this particular generous grant scheme would be counterproductive, both to the individual and to our housing sector and jobs in South Australia.
