Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 216 asked in the Legislative Council on 15 June 2017 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


EDUCATION CENTRAL — SECONDARY SCHOOL — KITCHENER PARK
      216. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education:
The minister was a bit concerned that she would not get a question today!
Is the decision to build a school at Kitchener Park based on projections of total population growth in the western and inner‑city suburbs and/or projections of total student population growth in those areas?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for providing me with a question. I think it is weird when a minister has to be sad that she does not have a question!
It was based on a number of things. It was looking at, indeed, student enrolment projections. It was also based on population projections in terms of increasing density in the range of suburbs that were looked at. There was a range of other factors as well, which I have already outlined to the house, including connections to public transport and all those sorts of things. It was a combination of projections of student enrolment and population, and a range of other matters.
