Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 676 asked in the Legislative Council on 25 June 2019 by Hon Simon O’Brien

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

CITY OF MELVILLE — INQUIRY

676. Hon SIMON O'BRIEN to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Local Government:

Further to my question without notice 298 of 3 April 2019—and, indeed, my questions in June, August, September and November 2018 and February 2019—I again refer to the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries–authorised inquiry into the City of Melville.

(1) What stage has the inquiry reached, and what stages of the process remain to be completed?

(2) What time frame has the minister set for finalising the necessary processes, for tabling the report and for giving a government response?

(3) If no time frame is set, why not?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) As previously advised, a draft report relating to the authorised inquiry into the City of Melville has been completed and provided to the city for comment and feedback. Relevant sections of the draft report have been provided to other parties to the inquiry, who have also provided feedback and comment. Submissions and feedback on the draft report were required by 5 March 2019. The department is currently finalising the report. Once the report is finalised, the report will be provided to the minister.

(2)–(3) The process is controlled by the department and the minister has no legislative ability to intervene.
