Adelaide Beach Management Review

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): My questions are to the Attorney-General regarding the Adelaide beach management review. Does the Attorney believe that the condition of Henley Beach, Henley Beach South and West Beach has benefited from the government's delay in reviewing sand management for the north-western beaches? Will the Attorney commit to ensuring Henley Beach, Henley Beach South and West Beach are no worse off by the next election?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:28): I thank the honourable member for her question and can indicate that that is precisely why the government has committed to doing a proper review, taking into account evidence, to make sure we are doing what is in the best interests of South Australians and of protecting beaches along South Australia.

I have had the opportunity of visiting many of the coastal areas that would be subject to this, I think from the north of Glenelg, where below Glenelg there are already arrangements in place, and have been for some time, in relation to sand management, to have a look at those beaches. I know that there is external sand that is from land-based quarries that replenishes sand at West Beach at the moment. I understand that will continue, but I will see if there is more information I can provide to the honourable member.
