AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The future use of this land will require a proposed amendment to the metropolitan region scheme and, in this respect, the Western Australian Planning Commission intends to seek parks and recreation reservation zoning for a portion of the land complementary to the public open space requirements for the Swan River foreshore and Winter House, and for the balance to be zoned urban. (2) Yes. The minister is committed to providing assistance with relocation, even though it is not required under the terms of the lease. (3) The WAPC has indicated that a tenancy site for Apace Aid Ltd will be offered at a suitable alternative location. An alternative site on the Canning River at Gosnells has been suggested. (4) The minister has recently visited the Apace Aid site and is currently considering its submission further. No decision has yet been made. In the meantime, Apace Aid will be invited to inspect alternative sites. (5) Apace Aid has indicated its estimated cost of relocation. However, that is not an issue on which the WATC is in a position to comment.
