The Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT: I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Transport and Urban Planning a question in relation to development of the Hills Face Zone.
 Leave granted.
 The Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT: I understand that the Minister has been requested to declare a winery and resort planned for Springwood Park, which is on Brown Hill in the hills face zone, as a major development under the Development Act, which would allow it to circumvent the usual planning procedures. This follows a proposal that was put by the same developer in 1996, in that case for a vineyard alone. That was rejected by the Mitcham council because it was contrary to the development plan and inconsistent with the hills face zone. The questions that I put to the Minister relate not just to this one development because there are also some general questions which flow from it. I ask the Minister the following questions:
 1. What criteria do the Minister intend to use to determine whether or not a project which contravenes the development plan deserves major project status?
 2. What value does the Minister place on the hills face zone?
 3. Does the Minister feel that the hills face zone has been eroded sufficiently already, or is the Minister prepared to allow further erosion?
  The Hon. DIANA LAIDLAW: The honourable member seeks to beat up this issue with inflammatory statements. I will help the honourable member through this process. Any project or proponent is entitled to bring to the Minister any project for major development status. They are not circum-venting the planning process. A process has been approved by this Parliament and provision has been made as a legiti-mate part of the planning process. It is not seeking to circumvent the planning proceduresóthey are procedures set down by this Parliament to apply to the Minister foró
 The Hon. M.J. Elliott interjecting:
 The Hon. DIANA LAIDLAW: You said `circumvent planning procedures'. They are not. They are using procedures set by down by this Parliament to apply to the Minister to consider whether the project would be accepted for major development status. The criteria for the Minister's assessment is also well established by the Parliament and in the Minister's decision there are economic, environment or social grounds that warrant major development status. I am having the project assessed by officers within Planning SA now and I have not yet received advice from those officers in terms of whether or not this project meets the criteria established by this Parliament to warrant major development status.
