PINDAN GROUP — LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS —
SHIRE OF ASHBURTON
206. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House representing the
Minister for Local Government:
I refer to the recent announcement that construction company
Pindan has been placed into external administration. The Shire of Ashburton has
confirmed that this will leave the building of the Tom Price childcare centre
and the emergency services precinct on hold indefinitely.
(1) Since the
announcement, has the minister contacted the Shire of Ashburton to gauge the
impact that the delay in these projects will have on the community of Tom
Price?
(2) What
actions will the minister take to ensure that these vital community
infrastructure projects will be completed in a timely manner?

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(2)
The administration of Pindan is very concerning and has significant impacts
across a number of local government areas.
The Tom Price childcare centre is project managed by the Shire of Ashburton and Rio Tinto. The state government is
working actively to mitigate the impacts of administration. The Minister for Commerce and the Minister for Finance will continue to work with the
administrators on matters relating to Pindan's existing projects.
