Mr BATTY (Bragg) (15:39): I rise to update the house on a couple of issues affecting the community of Greenhill. The first of those issues that I have been working on recently is one to do with Australia Post deliveries and parcels, and particularly some issues that arise through Greenhill's designation as a roadside delivery zone, meaning it is very difficult for residents in Greenhill to be able to get their parcels delivered.
I have been working and engaging with Australia Post on this issue on behalf of constituents in Greenhill. They cite a couple of reasons for this designation. The first is: 'difficult terrain'—which I do not really accept because, once you are up the hill it is relatively easy to get around Greenhill, and access letterboxes—and secondly, 'population density', and I do not accept that either because the population in Greenhill has in fact steadily grown.
So I am continuing to work with Australia Post on that issue and have formally requested that the RSD zone designation be reconsidered because I think the community of Greenhill deserves the same level of service as anyone else.
The other main issue I have been working on in the Greenhill area has been Greenhill Road. I have been calling for urgent road maintenance on the stretch of Greenhill Road between Glynburn Road and Mount Lofty Summit Road. This is something that I have been dealing with, with the previous minister and am following up now with the new minister, and hope we can get some fixes for the community of Greenhill.
