QuestionView source ↗

(1) Is the minister aware that a perimeter fence surrounding the old Swan Brewery site was recently extended to include a number of car park bays in what is locally known as the fishermen's car park? (2) Does this car park comprise a part of the area of land that is subject to the lease agreement between the Government and Bluegate Nominees Pty Ltd? (3) If not, why has the company been permitted to fence off an area that is public land? (4) Does the agreement allow Bluegate Nominees to lease out the car park facilities constructed directly opposite the old Swan Brewery on Mounts Bay Road? Hon M.J. CRIDDLE

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. (2) No. (3) Multiplex Constructions Pty Ltd, the entity undertaking the construction works for Bluegate Nominees, has obtained a hoarding licence from the City of Perth, which is the authority that has control over the car park known locally as the fishermen's car park. (4) The question is unclear as to which car park facilities are referred to. If the question relates to the fishermen's car park, the answer is no; the agreement does not cover the fishermen's car park.
