AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)(a)-(b) The minister announced on 5 July 2001 that “I have decided Tudor Lodge and Bedford Hostel will be re-located within the existing local government areas as soon as suitable alternative sites can be found.” I have been advised that a project of this kind could take up to three years, including identifying a site, gaining planning approvals, construction and relocation. Although I have told the department that I want the project completed in 18 to 24 months, this will be achievable only with the active cooperation of local government and the community in assisting us to locate and approve appropriate sites. Additional sites in other locations are also being considered with a view to long-term planning. (2) A number of sites have been examined, but no decision has been made on location of an alternative site. (3) When suitable alternatives have been identified. (4) See (1)(a) and (b).
