AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. Perhaps I should post the answer on my website and deal with it that way. The Minister for Corrective Services advises — (a)–(c) The Department of Treasury and Finance, Building Management and Works, has a contract with Broad Construction Services (WA) Pty Ltd for the managing contractor to construct additional cell-block accommodation at Hakea, Casuarina and Albany Regional Prisons to provide an additional 640 beds as well as support infrastructure. The value of this contract is $53.35 million. (d) There is no contract for expansion works at Acacia Prison at this time. (e) There is no contract for expansion works at Greenough Regional Prison at this time. I should add that “at this time” is at 23 September of this year when notice of the question was first given. I do not expect that it has changed since. The works are in the design and documentation phase.
