❓ A WA parliamentary question regarding the density of the proposed redevelopment of the former Carine TAFE site and its public open space provision compared to the Sunset Hospital site. The Minister's response deflects responsibility to LandCorp, the City of Stirling, and the WAPC, and clarifies the different zoning of the Sunset Hospital site.

QuestionView source ↗
In relation to the Government’s sell-off of the former Carine TAFE site, and local community opposition to Landcorp's Carine Vision Local Structure Plan, I ask:
(a) is the Minister aware that his proposal contains:
(i) more than three times the
Directions 2031
density target for Greenfield sites (15 dwellings per gross urban hectare);
(ii) almost three times the
Directions 2031
indicative value for high density urban infill (17 dwellings per gross urban hectare); and
(iii) 8.1 times the current dwelling density across Carine; and
(b) why was the Government so concerned to provide even more public open space in the Premier’s electorate by gifting the identical-sized Sunset Hospital site as open space but denying Carine residents equal treatment with the Carine TAFE site?

Minister for Planning
Response time
33 days
(a)(i) The Member should first be aware that the redevelopment of the former Carine TAFE site is a LandCorp managed project. LandCorp appointed Cedar Woods and the St Ives Group as preferred development partners.
Secondly, it will be important for the Member to familiarise himself with the
Planning and Development Act 2005
and understand that the Minister for Planning does not have a decision making role on structure plans.
The City of Stirling is currently considering submissions received during advertising of the Structure Plan and it is yet to be forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for assessment under section 6A.9.1 of Local Planning Scheme No. 3. A final decision on the Structure Plan will be made by the WAPC based on the outcomes of this assessment.
(ii) See (a)(i) above.
(iii) See (a)(i) above.
(b) There is no direct comparison to be made. The Sunset Hospital site is set aside as an "A" Class reserve for the purpose of "Retirement Village, Parks and Recreation, Community and Ancillary Commercial Purposes", with approximately two thirds of the site, comprising most of the heritage buildings, reserved "Public Purpose - Hospital" in the Metropolitan Region Scheme. The remainder of the site is reserved "Parks and Recreation" in the Metropolitan Region Scheme. The reservations, unless changed, continue to guide the use of that land.
The WAPC will consider public open space provision for the Carine TAFE site when it receives the Structure Plan for assessment.
Note also that the Sunset Hospital site is not in the Premier's electorate.
