QuestionView source ↗
In relation to the Government’s intention to start work on the Waterfront Project within the A-class reserve-listed Esplanade immediately after the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, I ask:
(a) why has the Government failed to introduce legislation or amendments to remove the A-class status of the Esplanade;
(b) is the Government proposing not to remove the A-class status so as it can avoid the considerable public consultation and processes involved in removing a listing;
(c) what heritage expertise has been contracted to assess the heritage listed Esplanade and buildings within; and
(i) what is the scope of their contract and timelines; and
(d) have any heritage consultants or public servants been requested to initiate memory plate processes or heritage markers for any places or buildings to be demolished within the A-class reserve and heritage listed places/buildings; and
(i) if so, could the Minister please list these and whether any conflicts of interest have been declared?
