QuestionView source ↗

I refer the minister to her announcement last week that, following the recent completion and consideration of the promised parking review, the Government has given in-principle support to locate the fisheries research and education facility at Hillarys Boat Harbour. (1) Will the minister confirm that this parking review was completed in early May? (2) Does the minister maintain that the decision to locate the $15 million facility at Hillarys was made after the completion of the parking review, and, if so, on what date? Ms MacTIERNAN

(1)-(2) I can confirm that the parking review was completed in early May. It was then taken to the leaseholders at Hillarys Boat Harbour, who were given a full presentation of the review’s contents. They were given until the following Friday to lodge any comments they might have had on it. We received a letter from the Leaseholders Association, which was generally supportive of the parking review. The following week, on the Tuesday or Wednesday, the Government decided to give in-principle support to the relocation of the Department of Fisheries to Hillarys Boat Harbour on two conditions: firstly, that 35 parking bays be created additional to the bays identified in the parking review; and, secondly, that a fresh application be submitted to the Western Australian Planning Commission.
