STATUES AMENDMENT (LOCAL GOVERNMENT) BILL

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 11 April. Page 1356.)

The Hon. IAN GILFILLAN: I indicate Democrat support for the second reading of this bill. It comprises largely technical changes. These follow the review of the Local Government Act 1934 and the commencement of the Local Government Act 1999. I have received correspondence from the Local Government Association of South Australia which has expressed that it is supportive of the bill. A number of amendments are being proposed and they will be addressed in the committee stage. However, although not having analysed these amendments in detail, I do note with some interest that there is likely to be before us again the debating of the closure of Barton Terrace as it goes across the parklands. Members will be aware of my views on this and I would indicate that the Democrats will not be supporting any attempts to have Barton Terrace reopened. However, with that proviso on the amendment, as far as the basic bill goes we have full support for the second reading.
