MOORA RESIDENTIAL
COLLEGE — BUILDING CONDITION ASSESSMENTS
227. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to Moora Residential
College.
(1) What
assessments have been undertaken by Building Management and Works at the
college in recent weeks?
(2) Will the
minister table any advice provided by Building Management and Works arising
from these inspections?
(3) Given recent
reports that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Regional
Development, Hon Darren West, has agreed to provide access to the college to
facilitate a non-government, independent assessment of the college funded by
the community, has the minister now changed her mind and agreed to provide
access?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) A
building condition assessment was recently undertaken by the Department of
Finance's Building Management and Works at the college as part of an
overall assessment of all education facilities. The results of all the
assessments are expected to be available by the fourth quarter of 2018.
(3) I do not
accept the premise of this part of the question. As previously stated, detailed
reports on the condition of the college have been tabled and are available for
review. These reports provide comprehensive information on the facility
prepared by independent consultants.
