QuestionView source ↗
I refer to Question on Notice No. 3620, and ask: (a) can the Minister explain why the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) has only approved the use of 60 of the 108 constructed on-site car bays when Stage 1 of the Inner City College is completed; (b) what will the remaining 48 on-site car bays be used for in the period before Stage 2 is completed, given the scarcity of car parking in the vicinity; (c) is the Minister aware that other senior high schools such as Mt Lawley, Churchlands and Shenton College, upon completion of current expansion works, have, or will have, sufficient on-site car parking to accommodate all teaching staff with surplus bays for use by other staff and visitors; (d) is the Minister aware that there will be insufficient car bays at the new College to accommodate all teaching staff for both Stage 1 and Stage 11; (e) does the MRA have a policy on the recommended ratio of car bays to teaching staff for senior high schools or is the allocation done on a case by case basis; and (f) can the Minister advise what options the MRA expects those teachers and support staff who are not allocated a car bay will adopt in order to get to and from the new College?
