QuestionView source ↗
I refer to media reports surrounding the Raffles Education Corporation’s decision to withdraw their bid to set up a campus in the old Midland workshops, and ask -
(1) Has the City of Swan been formally notified of this decision?
(2) Has the Minister offered support to any of Western Australia’s public Universities to set up a campus in the old Midland workshops?
(3) If yes to (2), which Universities and which potential courses have been discussed?
(4) If yes to (2), what support has the Minister offered?
(5) If no to (2), will the Minister commence these conversations as a matter of urgency, recognising the disparity in access to tertiary education for students in the Eastern Suburbs?
