CITY OF SWAN —
MIDLAND OVAL REDEVELOPMENT
486. Hon TIM CLIFFORD to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Local Government:
I refer to the public consultation
undertaken by the City of Swan regarding the Midland Oval redevelopment master
plan, during which 67 responses were tabled. That represents just 0.34 per cent
of the Midland ward population. Will the minister intervene and request the
City of Swan to undertake a more complete consultation with the more than 140 000
City of Swan residents?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
As referred to in the answer to
question without notice 433, the Midland Oval redevelopment project is a matter
for the City of Swan. The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural
Industries is reviewing the city's process to ensure that there has
been no breach of the Local Government Act 1995.
