SWAN DISTRICT HOSPITAL
SITE
1344. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the minister representing the
Minister for Lands:
I refer to the former Swan District
Hospital site.
(1) Was a new
expression of interest process expected to be undertaken in 2018 to identify
interested parties to acquire the site?
(2) If yes to
(1), has the new EOI process been announced; and, if yes, what was the opening
date and what is the closing date?
(3) If a new EOI
process has not yet been announced, when does the government intend to call for
expressions of interest?
(4) Has the
government lodged an application with the City of Swan to commence the rezoning
of the site to special use, with a request that it be capable of subdivision
into a number of smaller lots? If yes, when was the application lodged; and, if
not, why not?
(5) If yes to
(4), can the minister confirm that should the application receive planning
approval, the government is intending to place a condition of sale over one of
the lots that will be developed exclusively for the building of a new
residential aged-care facility?

AnswerView source ↗
On behalf of the Minister for
Environment, the Minister for Lands has provided the following answer.
(1) Yes. However,
it was determined that it would not be prudent to undertake the expression of interest
process prior to initiating rezoning under the City of Swan's local
planning scheme.
(2) No.
(3) A revised EOI
process will not commence until the site has been rezoned to special use.
(4) An
application is likely to be lodged with the City of Swan in early 2019.
Lodgement of the application has been held in abeyance while an opportunity to
make part of the site available to the adjoining college for use as a boarding
facility was investigated.
(5) Not
applicable.
