DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND WILDLIFE — HEADQUARTERS
681. Hon ADELE FARINA to the
minister representing the Minister for Environment:
I refer to the commitment to build the Department of Parks
and Wildlife headquarters at Turkey Point in Bunbury.
(1) Has a
specific site been identified at Turkey Point for construction of the
department's headquarters; and, if yes, where?
(2) Are basic
services such as power, water and sewerage available at the Turkey Point site?
(3) Will the
business plan currently being developed for the headquarters consider other
sites in Bunbury or will it focus solely on the Turkey Point site?
(4) If the
business plan proves the Turkey Point site to be prohibitive, will the
government abandon its commitment to locate the headquarters of the Department
of Parks and Wildlife in Bunbury?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(4)
The state government remains committed to a new Department of Parks and
Wildlife headquarters in Bunbury. An initial funding amount of $250 000 has
been provided as part of the 2013–14 state budget to undertake
necessary planning works that will set out the full scope of the project and
the proposed delivery stages. Future funding commitments will be considered as part
of the next annual budget process.
