LANDGATE OFFICES —
SALE
1332. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the minister representing the Minister
for Finance:
I refer to reports in WAtoday from
29 November concerning a lease incentive of $29 million being provided to the
state government by Georgiou as part of the Landgate building sale.
(1) When will the lease incentive
be paid to the state?
(2) Is there a guaranteed time
frame for the general and external upgrades to be completed?
(3) If yes to (2), what is that
time frame?
(4) Will the state be entirely responsible for
tendering out the fit-out for those floor spaces leased by the state government?
(5) If no to (4),
how much of the $29 million will then have to be returned to Georgiou for
fit-out costs?
(6) Does the complicated sale arrangement represent
gold-standard transparency?
Several members interjected.
The PRESIDENT : Order!

I understand that the honourable
member was advised by email that the minister was taking personal leave from
Parliament today and, therefore, no answers would be available to new questions
without notice submitted today.
