In relation to the advertised Perth Waterfront Amendment Report which closed on 27 May 2011, and the official Heritage Assessment which stated; on 31 March 1880, that the partially reclaimed land, officially Reserve 423 and known as the New Recreation Ground, was handed over to the Perth Municipal Council by deed of grant for the free recreation and enjoyment of the people forever; I ask:
(a) what are the Barnett Government plans for this land, originally granted for the free recreation and enjoyment of the people forever?

Under the Perth Waterfront masterplan, much of the land currently occupied by the Esplanade Reserve will still be available for free recreation and enjoyment. It will change from its current form into a high quality active public domain, including a new inlet, public parks and promenades, public jetties, and range of smaller public spaces, flanked by development containing office, commercial, retail, hospitality and hotel uses.
