QuestionView source ↗
ROSALIE PARK — TEMPORARY CAR PARK
I refer to Class A reserve, Rosalie Park, City of Subiaco, and the proposal to use a portion of the park for temporary parking to support development on the QEII Medical Centre site. (1) Is the minister aware that the Premier announced on radio on 26 August 2010 that Rosalie Park will be used as a temporary car park while the QEII Medical Centre site is being developed? (2) Is the minister aware that the acting manager for metropolitan state lands in the Department of Regional Development and Lands advised the Subiaco Junior Football Club in writing on 30 August 2010 that the Minister for Lands will not support any proposal to amend a class A reserve without the consent of the relevant local government? (3) Is the minister aware that a motion was passed at a special council meeting on 31 August 2010 that the City of Subiaco reject the state government’s proposal to use a portion of Rosalie Park for temporary parking to support development on the QEII Medical Centre site? (4) Is the minister aware that the Minister for Health—that is the minister himself, I guess—announced on radio 6PR on 20 September that, following the City of Subiaco’s unanimous decision, Rosalie Park is now off the agenda? (5) Can the minister now clarify who is correct—the Minister for Lands, the Minister for Health, or the Premier? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN

I thank the honourable member for notice of the question. (1) The minister is aware that the Premier made reference to such a proposal. (2)–(4) Yes. (5) At the time of the Premier’s comment on 26 August 2010, consultation was underway with the community regarding the potential use of a portion of Rosalie Park for car parking for a two-year period. Subsequent to this, the City of Subiaco unanimously agreed to not pursue the car park any further—that was 31 August 2010—and comments made by the Minister for Health on 1 September 2010 reflect this.
