QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the relocation of Department of Health staff from the Grace Vaughan House to 189 Royal Street, East Perth, and I ask: (a) While the Grace Vaughan House site remains vacant, and before it is disposed of, how much will be spent on maintenance and other costs; and (b) What does the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage intend on doing with the Grace Vaughan House site once it is vacated: (i) If it intends on selling it, what is the time frame for the sale and will the funds be retained for use by the Department of Health; (ii) How much is the Grace Vaughan House site valued at; and (iii) If it does not intend on selling it, will another department occupy the site, and if so, which one?

I am advised that:
(a) Up to $85,695 per annum.
(b)(i – iii) I am unable to respond to this question as these issues would be managed by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage; the Minister for Land’s agency if the property is deemed surplus to the requirements of the WA Health system.
