Wellbeing SA

The Hon. M.C. PARNELL (15:05): Supplementary: in relation to the proposed walking route from the sea to the Hills that you mentioned, can you update the house on progress toward filling in the missing gap on that route, which is a small walkway over the Sturt River flood control dam. It is about a 30-metre section, and if the minister can't answer he might want to refer to the Minister for Water who, I understand, is responsible for that section.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:06): I am certainly happy to take that on. It is right to say that this is a walk that is being established incrementally and to acknowledge the fact that it was in fact started with a partnership that predates our government. I want to pay tribute to Walking SA. They have the expertise and they already have a good awareness of the walking opportunities.

The walking trail is circular. The 100 kilometres is not the distance between the Hills and the sea obviously; it is circular. I'm not aware of the particular challenge but, as I understand it, they face many and that may yet be one unresolved. I am happy to seek an update on that and come back with that. I can't give you the URL, but I would encourage people to go to the Walking SA website. It is very useful in terms of links for opportunities for walking in our city and our state.
