SWANBOURNE HOSPITAL SITE
I refer to the development of the old Swanbourne hospital site in Mount Claremont, which I understand was sold pursuant to a public tender process under which applicants were required to describe the nature of the intended development of the site. (1) In such situations, does the Department of Housing and Works require strict compliance by the successful tenderer regarding the proposal contained in the tender? (2) If no to (1), in what circumstances is the successful tenderer permitted to develop the site differently from the original proposal, and to what degree is the successful tenderer permitted to depart from the original proposal? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Department of Housing and Works advises as follows. (1) It was not a requirement of tenderers to describe the nature of the proposed development. Tenderers were made aware in the tender documents of the restrictions that were incorporated within planning amendment 158. (2) Development approval will be required from the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure and the form of development will be determined between the successful purchaser, the City of Nedlands and the Western Australian Planning Commission.
