Whyalla Dry Zone Proposal

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:39): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before directing a question to the Leader of the Government regarding Whyalla city council's proposed dry zone.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Actually, I don't have an explanation at all; it is just a straight question, sorry:

1. Given that Whyalla city council is considering additional support services similar to those available in Port Augusta, will the government commit to expanding services in Whyalla to ensure there is adequate support and intervention programs?

2. Does the government have any concerns that a city-wide dry zone could shift alcohol-related issues to other regions?

3. What legal measures have been canvassed to manage alcohol-related antisocial behaviour in Whyalla while consultation on the dry zone is underway?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:40): As I responded to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition in this place, liquor licensing falls under the ministerial responsibilities of the Hon. Andrea Michaels, member for Enfield, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs. To the honourable member's questions in relation to providing services, particularly social services to regional communities, I am happy to say that we are always keen to see how services can best be provided to meet the needs of communities.
