I refer to the Northbridge Police Complex, and ask: (a) did the initial design include the ability for a food and beverage outlet to be established on the James Street side of the complex, and if so: (i) what was the anticipated rent that would have been generated from this outlet's operation; and (ii) why has such an outlet not yet commenced operation?

The Western Australia Police advise that the possibility of a small “kiosk” style coffee / retail outlet was provided in the design of the Perth Police Centre. Initial indications were that such a kiosk could lease for approximately $10,000 per annum gross. However, security reviews have resulted in that function being deemed inappropriate for that location.
