I thank the member for some notice of this question. During 2004-05 a feasibility study into the possible relocation and consolidation of the WA College of Agriculture at Harvey onto the Wokalup farm site was conducted by architects Darryl Way and Associates Pty Ltd. The estimated cost of the relocation was more than $21 million. No provision has been made in the Department of Education and Training’s forward estimates for the project at present. However, the matter will continue to be considered when future capital works programs are being compiled.
