I refer to the decision to sell the Noalimba camp to LandCorp for $9.2 million, and ask - (1) From whom has LandCorp purchased the centre? (2) What is the Government proposing to do with the $9.2 million realised from the sale? (3) What does LandCorp propose to do with the site once the sale has been completed? Hon KEN TRAVERS

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The land is described as reserve 29543 and was set aside for recreation, education and government purposes and purposes incidental to all or any of the aforesaid purposes. It was vested in the Recreation Camps and Reserve Board under section 33 of the Land Act 1933 in May 1996. Prior to settlement, the vesting was revoked and it became crown land. In turn, it was transferred to LandCorp. (2) All proceeds from the sale of land at Noalimba will be reinvested in the Recreation Camps and Reserve Board and the Department of Sport and Recreation camps chain. Hon Norman Moore: That is a very good idea. Hon KEN TRAVERS: I was amazed at the amount of information contained in the answer. I hope the member appreciates it. Hon Norman Moore: I appreciate it. It shows that some ministers can answer questions. Hon KEN TRAVERS: I will pass that on to the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure. I am sure she will appreciate it. The answer continues - (3) The whole site was already zoned urban under the metropolitan region scheme and zoned living area precinct, Bateman 1, with a density code of R20 under the City of Melville community planning scheme No 5. Following extensive community consultation, LandCorp and the Department of Sport and Recreation jointly presented the preferred development concept plan to the local community on 14 December 2002 and received a positive response. Subsequently, a subdivision application was lodged with the Western Australian Planning Commission and conditional approval was received on 13 June 2003. In addition, an application for rezoning portion of the land to R40 portions was presented to the City of Melville on 30 January 2003 and is being advertised for public comment. LandCorp has also agreed with the Department of Housing and Works to allocate two sites with the capacity to develop 12 units to house aged persons. In total, the proposed redevelopment of Noalimba will yield 63 single residential lots - R20 - and 55 medium density dwellings - R40.
