380. Hon SALLY TALBOT to the Leader of the
House representing the Premier:
I refer to recent advice that the
demolition of the Yarloop hospital building has been completed and work has
commenced on the first two of six destroyed properties.
(1) Who was contracted to do —
(a) the hospital demolition; and
(b) the work on the six destroyed
properties?
(2) Where is the headquarters of
each contractor?
(3) Was there a tender process for
each project; and, if not, why not?
(4) If there was a tender process,
will the Premier table the selection criteria for the tender?
(5) What has been the cost to date of
the Yarloop demolition and clean-up?
(6) What is the estimated total
project cost of the Yarloop demolition and clean-up?

This is question C429, is it not?
Was the last question the estimated costs for the Yarloop demolition?
Hon Sally Talbot : Yes.
Hon PETER COLLIER : I have another question that is very
similar.
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.

Tox Free Australia Pty Ltd undertook the demolition and hazardous waste
remediation for the hospital and the first two of six destroyed properties in
zone 1.
(2) Tox Free's headquarters
is in Nedlands, WA.

an emergency situation declaration and due to the safety concerns associated
with the significant contamination, in line with State Supply Commission
policies the Department of the Premier and Cabinet waived a public tender
process.

received to date for demolition and hazardous waste remediation services and
