FREMANTLE MOTOR MUSEUM
Will the minister intervene on behalf of the Fremantle Motor Museum to ensure that that museum can remain at Victoria Quay; and, if not, why not? Hon ADELE FARINA

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. The minister has provided the following answer - No, the Fremantle Motor Museum is a private museum owned and operated independently of the government. The minister has already sought to find mechanisms to assist Mr Briggs, but the resources available are required for the operation of the Western Australian Museum in Fremantle. The matter is for the Fremantle Motor Museum to discuss and resolve with the Fremantle Port Authority, the authority that owns the site.
