Primary Industries and Regions Department

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development regarding her department PIRSA. Can the minister confirm that the Department of Primary Industries and Regions is moving office from Grenfell Street to Waymouth Street and, if so, what is the reason behind the move?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:24): Yes, it is accurate that the office will be moving. I am happy to bring some more fulsome comments back to the chamber, but when this was put forward some time ago it was indicated that currently the location for the department is not all in one place on one or two floors within the Grenfell Street building.

There are also issues around the adequacy of the facilities there and also the costs going forward to be able to be, if I recall correctly, compliant with a number of aspects that are expected in modern workplaces. Therefore, the decision has been made that it is an appropriate change which will lead to more efficiencies and better communications within the department and be able to have a positive overall impact on the operations of the department.
