Parliament: 41 Session: 1

SOUTH FREMANTLE POWER STATION — EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

371. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the minister representing the Minister for Finance:

I refer to the recent publicity on the market-led proposal for the Graylands Hospital site and the announcement yesterday for an expression of interest for the Fremantle power station site.

(1) Who is the proponent that has already submitted an MLP for the Fremantle power station?

(2) On what dates was the MLP proposal received by the Department of Finance on the Graylands Hospital site and the Fremantle power station site?

(3) Has the minister received a recommendation from the Department of Finance on the MLP for the Fremantle power station?

(4) Was that recommendation to reject the MLP?

(5) If yes to (4), what criterion or criteria, as per section 1.2 of the Market-led proposals policy dated January 2020, did the proponent fail, requiring an expression of interest process as announced yesterday?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

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

(1) No proposal relating to South Fremantle power station has been submitted through the market-led proposal process.

Hon Neil Thomson: That's not what the minister said.

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON: The member asked the question; I am answering it on behalf of the minister, so please let me. The answer to (1) continues —

The sale of the South Fremantle power station is being dealt with via an expression of interest process through Synergy; therefore, the honourable member needs to refer questions on the South Fremantle power station to the Minister for Energy.

(2) The MLP submission for the Graylands site was received on 7 July 2020, and stage 2 was disclosed on 8 April 2021, as per the MLP policy disclosure requirements.

(3)–(4) No.

(5) Not applicable.
