QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Riverside project, and ask: (a) Why has the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) failed to update the timeline for this project, noting it presently ends at 2016; (b) Did the Minister have any meetings with LendLease in relation to the "Waterbank" portion of the site during 2018, and if so what dates were those meetings; (c) Noting that the LendLease website for "Waterbank" states that critical infrastructure works will continue through to 2019, what works were undertaken in 2018 and what works are scheduled to occur this year; (d) Has the Minister been advised at any point in time that stage one will not be delivered in 'mid-2021' as was originally intended: (i) If so, what is the revised delivery date of stage one; (e) Has there been a reduction or alteration in the opening hours of the sales and information centre at Waterbank and if so what was the reduction; and (f) Has LendLease sought any contractual variations in relation to the Waterbank site during 2018 and if so, what was the nature of these variations?

(a) The MRA website has various avenues to provide information on its projects. More recently the “News” section has been used to provide details on activity at Riverside.
(b) The Minister represented the Premier at a Leaders Breakfast hosted by Lendlease on 9 May 2018.
(c) Construction of sewer infrastructure to site commenced in 2018 and is ongoing and due for completion in March 2019.
(d)-(f) The MRA and Lendlease continue to work together in delivering the Riverside project. The Riverside project is one commenced by the previous Government and this Government has inherited its programs and processes including the operating of the sales centre by appointment only. As with many projects in their delivery phase discussions are ongoing as to the best way to deliver the project.
