KOOMBANA CAR PARK PROJECT
1371. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to the $11.5 million
Koombana car park project in Bunbury, including $3.5 million for an accessible
toilet block, and my questions without
notice of June 2017, March 2018, November 2018 and February 2019 on this topic.
(1) Has a toilet block now been
built on this site?
(2) If no to (1), will a toilet
block be constructed, at what cost and when will it be completed?
(3) Given the
minister's answer to question without notice 62 asked on 14 February
this year that the detailed design had commenced and Building Management and
Works was preparing estimates that would be available six weeks from that date,
were those milestones completed?
(4) If yes to (3), what was the
estimated cost according to BMW?
(5) If no to (3), why not?
(6) What has the
subcommittee of the Bunbury Development Committee recommended for the toilet
proposed for this site, and how often has the subcommittee met this year?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the question.
I am sorry; I do not know whether we have got a full enough answer for the
member. I will give him what I have to date.
(1)–(6) It is expected that the toilet block will be
constructed on the Mangrove Cove site in the second half of 2020. The
current cost estimate for the toilet block is $350 000. The Department of
Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions
is responsible for delivery of the toilet block and associated infrastructure.
The subcommittee of the Bunbury Development Committee has met four times
this year, has been briefed on the project and supports the proposal.
