AnswerView source ↗
The McGowan government has
contributed significantly to the plan, not least of which is the in-kind work
that has been done by my department. Project officers have worked hundreds, if
not thousands, of hours with the design team to make sure that we come up with
a thoughtful design. It is not a question of how much money is spent; it is how
much effort is put in. The effort put in by the department has been first rate
in this regard.
In
relation to when we are doing this, as I said, when the market conditions allow
us to roll out our model of cross-subsidised
arrangements that we undertake when we develop property. That is when we will
be able to get to it.
