CITY OF ALBANY - WATERFRONT PRECINCT PLAN
Given that the City of Albany adopted the waterfront precinct plan for Albany on Tuesday night, which incorporates the marina and an entertainment centre, and given that the member for Albany recently highlighted a $20 million cost escalation for that project, I ask - (1) What is the new cost of this development, and will the minister detail the reason for, and the size of, the cost escalation? (2) When will the minister announce funding approval for the project? (3) What is the timing for completion of the waterfront development? (4) Does the minister remain committed to meeting her promise to this regional project? Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN

I thank the member for his question. (1)-(4) The member for Stirling seems to have woven two projects together, so for his erudition I will make sure that he understands that there are two separate projects. The waterfront development includes the long-awaited boat harbour, development of the hotel and recreational development. Adjacent to that is the City of Albany entertainment centre project. We have brought them together, but they are two distinct projects. We have made the commitment. I believe the funds for the waterfront project are approximately $30 million. We are absolutely committed to that project. It is going ahead. As we speak, the footbridge is being constructed. It will be assembled on site by January 2007. The subdivisional works for stage 1, which is the land side, will commence in January 2007. Provided that we have the environmental approvals for the marine side of the boat harbour development, those works will commence in September-October 2007. From January 2007, my good friend the member for Albany and I will be there, no doubt with the Premier - another Albany boy - turning lots of sods and getting that long-awaited construction under way. Several members interjected. Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN : Members opposite held the seat of Albany for many years. For decades they talked about a waterfront development. Could they deliver it? No. However, we are delivering it. It is well and truly under way. There is some complexity with the project for the City of Albany. We have allocated the city $14.9 million towards the entertainment complex. It is now telling us that the project will be considerably more expensive. The city has come to government and asked us to accommodate it. Of course, that has to be considered in our general budgetary processes. That will be done. In terms of the waterfront development project that we have given priority to, it is absolutely under way.
