GERALDTON FIRE STATION
1079. Mr I.C. BLAYNEY to the Minister for Emergency Services:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that the unused fire station is impacting on Geraldton's
vibrancy, and the contamination issue at the site, replacing the fire station
with a car park is probably the best thing to do with the site. The costs of
remediation of the contamination will probably be more than the site is worth —
The SPEAKER : Member, can you
make your supplementary question concise?
Mr I.C. BLAYNEY : Surely the
logical thing to do is to gift the site to the city.

I have no opinion whatsoever on what
should happen in the future for the site, but if someone in Geraldton wants to
make an offer to purchase the site—whether it is the council, business
or anybody else—they should put it forward and we will discuss it with
the Department of Finance.
