AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for his continued interest in belltowers. (1) The Heritage Council is in discussion with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Broome. The issues of structural safety of the rest of the building, and the most appropriate method of conservation of the belltower have been clarified. The Minister for Heritage has advised that an amount of $25 000 has been allocated under the Heritage Council’s heritage grant program for 2000-01 to assist with the conservation of the Beagle Bay church belltower. (2) At this stage there is no relevant correspondence to table. (3) Yes.
