QuestionView source ↗
(1) I refer to the Lady Gowrie Centre at Karawara, on land owned by the Ministry of Housing, and ask is it correct that Lady Gowrie is seeking to re-assess its mission with the view to re-locating to other parts of the southern suburbs?
(2) Has the prospect of a land swap been discussed between the centre and the Ministry?
(3) Has the Centre informally proposed that land be made available at nearby George Burnett Park in return for surrendering the current land and Centre at Karawara?
(4) Does the Ministry envisage some financial incentive for the Centre to re-locate?
(5) If so, what impediments, if any, are known to exist from any State or local authorities to such a re-location?
(6) Will the Ministry initiate discussions with appropriate local and State authorities in order to produce a win-win outcome for the various stake-holders?
