I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question, which I note was lodged on 30 August.
(1) Yes. The
Nexus Network has been engaged to review the Constitutional Centre. The cost
has not yet been finalised but will be included in the relevant consultant's
report tabled in Parliament
(2)–(4)
The review of the Constitutional Centre is focused on whether the centre is
meeting its aims and objectives; the current service delivery model, including
digital engagement; and whether opportunities for synergies with other state
and commonwealth government programs exist.
It should be noted for listeners of the Rumour File program on 6PR that the Premier has no intention of moving from Dumas House and
enjoys being in the same building as his ministers.
