QuestionView source ↗

(1) Will the Minister for Education confirm that he advised Karrinyup residents that, until the issue of Scarborough Senior High School site zoning was resolved, the basketball courts, tennis courts and playing fields on Newborough Street would be available for public use, and the balance of the site would be fenced? (2) If this is entailed in the minister’s management plan for the site, which part of the site will be used for the Christmas period Karrinyup Shopping Centre staff parking, which the Education Department has offered to the shopping centre? Hon BARRY HOUSE

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Should the omnibus Bill, of which the Scarborough Senior High School site is one item, be delayed by Parliament the site will be fenced to provide pedestrian access across the site and community use of playing fields, tennis courts and basketball courts in Newborough Street. (2) Approval for use of the site as a staff parking area was provided on the assumption that the site would still be owned by the department. Karrinyup Shopping Centre Management has now been advised of the possibility that fencing may be required, and that it may need to find an alternative parking area.
