AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. Bluegate Nominees Pty Ltd is, pursuant to the terms of the head lease and subleases between Bluegate and the sublessees of the Swan Brewery building, currently granting car parking licences to those sublessees. (2) No. (3) Yes. Bluegate has the power to sublease the land under the head lease of the Swan Brewery site and car parking area. Under the head lease, the land comprising the car park is permitted to be used as a car park. (4) Assuming that the member is referring to the car parking area adjacent to the Swan Brewery site, then, as the minister has already indicated, Bluegate has granted, under the terms of the subleases, car parking licences to the sublessees of the old Swan Brewery site. (a)-(b) These parts of the question request disclosure of the names of the sublessees who have car parking rights and the terms of the sublease documents. The minister cannot provide that information because sublease documents are private and confidential contractual arrangements between Bluegate and the sublessees. Those agreements are merely consented to by the Minister for Lands in his capacity as head lessor - he is not a party to those agreements.
