I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. I am not sure whether anything has changed since I was given the
answer this morning, but we will see.
(1)–(2)
The Housing Authority has been advised that the wall on which the mural is
located is no longer structurally sound and as such presents a public safety
issue. The Housing Authority is currently obtaining appropriate technical
advice on the available options to retain the wall and is consulting with the
City of Stirling to obtain relevant approvals. Should it be necessary to
replace the wall, the Housing Authority will investigate options to integrate
the mural's image into any new construction.
