“CARINE VISION” — DEVELOPMENT PLANS
I refer to LandCorp’s project to redevelop the former Carine TAFE site. (1) What is the current estimated revenue to government from this redevelopment, and how much will be returned to the local community? (2) Why does the draft structure plan, which sees the removal of most vegetation on the site, including 50 per cent of significant trees and 25 per cent of tuart trees, not seek to protect any more of the remnant trees and vegetation? (3) How is this proposal in keeping with the state planning policy and “Directions 2031”? Hon WENDY DUNCAN

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Minister for Lands has provided the following answer — (1) LandCorp will acquire the site of the former Carine TAFE subject to a valuation of the land having regard to an approved local structure plan. As the local structure plan has not yet been approved and is the subject of ongoing comment and debate, it is not possible to accurately estimate likely returns to state government from this or the ultimate development. Funds raised by the sale of the site to LandCorp will be returned to the state consolidated revenue fund. (2) The Western Australian Planning Commission approved amending the zoning of the site under the metropolitan region scheme from public purpose to urban development. The local structure plan presently before the City of Stirling provides for public open space in excess of statutory requirements, with preference for location of preserved vegetation in response to comments from a community reference group. (3) LandCorp and their development partners believe the submitted local structure plan aims to deliver the land uses, target densities and public open space requirements as provided for by state and local planning policies.
