LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM — CITY OF PERTH
825. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Question time is today! Will the
Premier rule out legislating for a new City of Perth; and, if he will not, has
he not wasted five years of people's efforts in the amalgamations for
the City of Perth and the City of Vincent?

My firm understanding is that the City of Vincent wants to be part of
the City of Perth, and we think that is probably appropriate. We said from the
outset, when this process started, that we wanted to see a capital city that
truly reflected the central business district and the major institutions of
government and the community. As I said before, we will release full details
tomorrow morning.
