PRETTY POOL — LAND GRANT
I refer to the grant of land at Pretty Pool to the construction company 20*20 to construct a residential units/cafeteria complex. (1) What progress has been made with this project? (2) Is this company in dire financial straits and unable to undertake work on this contract? (3) What steps will the minister take to take this grant back from the company and place it in the hands of a builder able to continue with the plans immediately? (4) Will the minister instruct departments to ensure that no further contracts are entered into with this company while it is not in the position to fulfil them? (5) What assistance will the minister make available to people who have been caught out by the apparent collapse of this company and the resulting problems with which they are now left? Hon WENDY DUNCAN

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. I also note that the honourable member pointed out a typo in the name of the company. We have “20/20” here, but it should be 20*20. (1) Lot 676 at Pretty Pool in Port Hedland was sold by LandCorp to Port Hedland Development Fund No 8 Pty Ltd associated with 20*20 at the time with development conditions. The conditions included commencement of works within three months of the development approval being obtained. The development approval was obtained in June 2010 and LandCorp has asked the builder to demonstrate what progress it has made in development. The site has been fenced and some excavation works have been undertaken. (2) LandCorp, as part of its normal course of business, has contacted the company to assess its performance under the contract. (3)–(5) The minister will review the response that LandCorp receives from the company.
