ABORIGINAL
CULTURAL CENTRE — SITE
665. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Planning:
I refer to the recent announcement to build an Aboriginal
Cultural Centre in front of the Perth Concert Hall.
(1) Noting the
challenges around activation of the CBD's north–south axis
along William Street, did the minister consider a site nearer Elizabeth Quay or
at the Perth Cultural Centre?
(2) Has there
been a comprehensive urban planning assessment of visitation, activation and
foot traffic for the current site?
(3) If yes to
(2), would the minister please table that?
(4) If no to (2),
why not?
