BUSSELTON JETTY — FUNDING
I refer to the proposed Busselton jetty project. (1) Is the Shire of Busselton or LandCorp responsible for the cost of the land adjacent to Sir Stewart Bovell Park that has been earmarked for replacement facilities for Churchill Park users? (2) Will the state government fund the $6 million that was previously committed to the jetty restructure by the Howard government but withdrawn by the Rudd government? (3) If the answer to (2) is yes, will this amount be forwarded from the 30 per cent tax equivalent payment from LandCorp to the state government? (4) If not from this fund, from where will it be derived? (5) If there is eventually enough profit in the project, will the state government refund the Busselton shire’s $11 million share or portion thereof to the jetty refurbishment? (6) Has the project considered incorporating a visitor centre for the Geographe Bay Tourism Association and the foreshore tourist precinct? (7) If no to (6), why not? Hon KIM CHANCE
