On behalf of the minister representing the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, I thank Hon Vince Catania for his question. (1) Master planning of the site has commenced. (2) This will be considered during the design phase. (3) There will be a capital investment of $25.572 million for the justice complex and $12.510 million for the police station. (4) The justice complex will include one higher courtroom, one lower courtroom, mediation and pre-trial conference facilities as well as facilities for witnesses and juries, custodial areas, judicial chambers and office accommodation for the court’s administration and community justice services. The police station will have all the facilities for effective front-line policing, including a new custody centre, video interview rooms, public interview rooms and staff amenities. (5) Negotiations are in progress. (6) Yes. (7) Yes. The soil and ground water are contaminated with diesel fuel. The contamination has spread to the adjacent government reserve 28023. The Shire of Carnarvon was notified of the issues on 5 November 2007. The question of what action is being taken to clean up the site should be referred to the Shire of Carnarvon, being the owner of the site. (8) This will be known following resolution of site contamination issues. (9) Subject to no material delays, the project is expected to be completed in late 2010.
