PERTH
WATERFRONT PROJECT — PROJECTED VISITOR NUMBERS
56. Mr J.N. HYDE to the Minister for Planning:
Given that 3.5 million people visit the Statue of Liberty
precinct every year, will the minister table all documents that could possibly
justify how he has modelled the Perth Waterfront project to get nine million
people a year?

AnswerView source ↗

I will tell the member what I will do: I will keep focusing
on major developments such as the Perth Waterfront project and the Perth City
Link project, both of which have actually been funded by this government,
together with the federal government and the City of Perth in the case of the
Perth City Link project.
The
SPEAKER : I am sure there are some in this place who want the answer
to the question, members, but there are some who are demonstrating that they do
not want to hear any answer whatsoever. Minister, I will give you the
opportunity to answer that supplementary question if members to my left and my
right can remain silent.
Mr J.H.D. DAY :
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
I will keep focusing on projects of that sort of scale and significance
to the future of Perth—the riverside project near the Causeway and
planning scheme amendments in Cottesloe, for example.
