LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM — BURSWOOD
PENINSULA
859. Mr B.S. WYATT to the
Premier:
I have a supplementary question. One of the arguments the
Premier has made along this tortuous course of local government reform is about
sustainability. How does the Premier expect the new entity South Park to
operate in a sustainable way if he plans to take off a percentage of its
revenue base in five years' time?

South Park has been judged by the Local Government Advisory
Board to be sustainable.
Mr B.S. Wyatt :
Yes, on that rate base.
Mr C.J. BARNETT :
Yes, and one of the options in five years' time might be for it to
retain the rate revenue. I do not particularly care about the rate revenue; I
want the capital city to be structured as a capital city.
