SUBI EAST REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT
694. Mr J.N. CAREY to the Minister for Planning:
I refer to the McGowan Labor
government's massive job-creating redevelopment of Subi East. Can the
minister please advise how this transformational project will help drive the
local Subiaco economy, create local jobs and help support small business, not
just during construction but also once the project is complete?

I acknowledge and welcome in the
public gallery today seven teachers who are visiting WA from China as part of
an AFS exchange program.
I thank the member for Perth for the
question and, of course, his commitment to infill and development to support
small business in our community. Today, along with the Premier, we visited what
is now the demolition site of Subiaco Oval. As I said, it is the second time I have
seen a demolition derby at Subiaco Oval, members!
Several members interjected.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : Very funny!
Dr A.D. Buti interjected.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : Okay; it was
the third time.
The project is really exciting.
Today we saw significant progress in the demolition of Subiaco Oval. On coming
to government, we made a commitment to retain the Subiaco Oval playing space
for not only the community and football clubs, but also the school. Of course,
we have retained the playing surface and committed it to the new school, Bob Hawke College, which is well underway
and nearing completion. It is looking like a magnificent school . Today,
in that area, I also officially opened the Hamilton Street Bridge, which is
another bit of infrastructure that we are pouring into the member for Nedlands'
electorate. It is a new bridge with a principal shared path and walkway to
improve and facilitate better connectivity over the rail line. This project
will facilitate over $1 billion worth of private sector development. This area
will be home to more than 2 000 dwellings—probably more—and
will facilitate and support small business. Over 100 000 tonnes of concrete and
other materials will be removed during demolition and 95 per cent of that
material will be recycled and used in areas such as road base for our freeways
and roads, again recycling the concrete that we are removing from that site. It
is an exciting project. Is it not good to see WA Labor delivering a school for
the very congested schools in the western suburbs? It is something that the
previous government failed to do and that we are delivering.
Several members interjected.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : The new
school was always going to be an inner-city college!
Bob
Hawke College will serve the good constituents from the member for Nedlands'
area, plus others. It is so good to see WA Labor delivering for all—regional,
inner-city and western suburbs people. Again, I know the member for Nedlands is
excited about it and is saying, ''Thank goodness we have a Labor
government delivering all that excellent infrastructure in my electorate!''
