Public Transport, Adelaide Hills

A supplementary question put forward to the Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) regarding the capacity of the park-and-ride usage.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:33): I have a supplementary question arising from the answer. Can the minister advise the capacity of the park-and-ride usage at the moment, and whether the government has any plans to expand it? If so, by how many spaces?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (14:33): They are really matters for the Minister for Transport. I happen to be the Acting Minister for Transport today, so I will see if I can get those answers from the department and bring back a response.

The Hon. M. PARNELL (14:33): I have a supplementary arising from the original answer. Even if the rezoning of new employment land takes place in Mount Barker, what proportion of the increase in population of workers does the government expect will commute to Adelaide by private car? If it is not 60 per cent, as it is at present, what figure does the government say it will be?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (14:34): Obviously those figures are just projections, but what the 30-year plan does is have the employment targets for the region. Clearly, they are commensurate with the population growth. As to what percentage that relates to, it would be easy enough to do that calculation, but I will take it on notice and get back to the honourable member.
