REMEMBRANCE DAY —HARVEY HOUSE AND MEMORIAL GARDEN
1163. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the minister representing the
Minister for Health:
I
refer to the answer given to question without notice 742 asked on 16 September
2021 regarding the memorial garden at King Edward Memorial Hospital for
Women, which confirmed that it remained the government's intention to
subdivide the site.
(1) What is the
current status of the proposed subdivision—not the proposed licence
agreement—of the land on which the memorial garden sits from the King
Edward Memorial Hospital site?
(2) Which government agencies are
involved in the subdivision process?
(3) What is the
government's current time frame for the completion of the proposed
subdivision of the land area on which the memorial garden sits from the larger
hospital site?

I thank the member for some notice
of the question. I provide the following response on behalf of the Minister for
Mental Health based on advice provided by the Minister for Health.
(1)–(3) It is anticipated that a subdivision to annex the
Memorial Garden and Harvey House areas from the remainder of the King Edward
Memorial Hospital for Women site will eventually occur; however, it is unlikely
that this process will commence until after the Women and Newborn Health
Service has transitioned off the site, which is likely to take between five and
10 years. The best options for the area being subdivided and the process for
doing so have not been investigated in detail at this time. In the first
instance, they are in the process of divesting a licence for a not-for-profit group—WA Medical Museum—to
manage Harvey House and the rose garden.
