The Hon. IAN GILFILLAN: I seek leave to ask the Minister for Transport and Urban Planning a question about road widening and redesign in Robe Terrace, Medindie.
 Leave granted.
 The Hon. IAN GILFILLAN: My interest in this matter relates more to the threat to the parklands than to the exact configuration of the redesign for Robe Terrace. However, I have been advised that residents on Robe Terrace are pressuringó
 The Hon. M.J. Elliott: Struggling residents.
 The Hon. IAN GILFILLAN: They are struggling in this case. They are trying to persuade those who are making the decisionóand I understand that they have had a friendly reception from the Walkerville councilóto take a slice off the parklands so that the redesign of Robe Terrace will be a very expansive redevelopment. It is intended to have a bike track, two lanes of traffic travelling west, then a median strip, including a turning lane, then two traffic lanes moving east, a bike track, then a separator between the main road and a service road for the residents of Robe Terrace, with parking bays and a footpath.
 I am advised that 40 metres already in Transport SA title is perfectly adequate for this appropriate redevelopment. However, there is pressure from the residents of Robe Terrace that they deserve a wider service road and a wider separator, and to accommodate that they want to take a slice off the parklands. Not only is that part of the parklands at risk but also there is the reconfiguration of the intersections at Northcote Terrace, at least, and others possibly west of that, which will almost inevitably require the cribbing of parklands.
 The final point I make is that I have noted and have been informed that there is a 66kV line on the Transport SA land and that there would be pressure for that to be moved at the expense of Transport SA if it is persuaded by the pressure and what I regard as the very parochial self-interest argument of the residents of Robe Terrace. My questions are:
 1. Will the Minister give us an assurance that there will be no loss of parklands under any circumstances down the stretch of Robe Terrace currently under review, and if possible a net gain so that the parklands could come out and embrace that 66kV line?
 2. Will the Minister undertake to check what cribbing of parklands is planned or calculated to be taken on the reconfiguration of the Northcote Terrace and Robe Terrace intersection?
 3. Will the Minister indicate at this point, and if not now later, when these plans will be finalised? When will it be determined precisely what will happen?
  The Hon. DIANA LAIDLAW: I can advise the honourable member immediately that at no time during any of my discussions with Transport SA, the Walkerville council or in correspondence with residents has it been suggested that there would be a loss of parklands. If that is a current claim by some residents, I will explore the issue further.
 The Hon. Ian Gilfillan interjecting:
 The Hon. DIANA LAIDLAW: I am saying that never at any time has that been suggested to me. I have always been assured about the road reserve, to which the honourable member referred. What Transport SA has been discussing with the council, and what in fact the council has been pushing for for some time, is the extension of Fitzroy Terrace and Mann Terrace, which both include service roads, to be properly linked with improvements to Robe Terrace to accommodate a service road and separator, as the honourable member has said. It is the goal to ensure the completion of that ring route at the north and eastern part of our city at the extreme of the parklands. I will get further detailed advice for the honourable member and bring back a full reply.
