Mr. Wyatt questions the Minister for Education regarding the relocation of WAIDE from Cottesloe, inquiring about the future use of the building and potential availability to the deaf community and general public. The Minister's response indicates the relocation is planned for late 2012, all services will move, the building's future is undecided, and a valuation hasn't been done due to uncertainty about future use and costs.

I am advised by the Department of Education as follows:
The property is located at 53 not 55 Curtin Avenue.
(a) Based on current information, it is anticipated that the Western Australian Institute for Deaf Education (WAIDE) will be relocated in late 2012.
(b) It is proposed that all Department of Education services at 53 Curtin Avenue will be relocated to Padbury.
(c)-(e) The future of the building is yet to be considered by the Department of Education.
(f) A valuation of the entire site has not been undertaken.
(g) There are no current plans to have the property valued as the valuation will depend largely on the use to which it can be put and the costs of any required building works.
