QuestionView source ↗
(1) I
refer to the total budget allocation of $3.3m in the 15/16 State Budget for the new car park at Osborne Park Hospital. The
Government first announced $5.5m for a new 500 bay car park at Osborne Park
back on 18 February 2013, but in the 2013/14 budget only $3.5m was allocated for this project.
This budget shows the total allocation for the carpark has been reduced again
to just $3.3m. Why has the budget for this been reduced further? (2) Is a smaller car park being constructed, with
less parking bays than originally planned, or is a 500 bay car park really being built for $2.2m less than the original announcement? (3) Will this car
park be free parking, or paid parking? (4) I note that the
15/16 budget pushes money for completion of this project out yet again, from finishing in the 15/16
financial year to pushing $1m to complete this in the 16/17 financial year. When will the car park be practically completed? (5) Will this car park be reserved for staff, general public or a mixture of both, and if a mixture, can you please provide a breakdown of how many bays will be for staff versus bays?
