Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 503 asked in the Legislative Council on 12 August 2021 by Hon Neil Thomson

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

SUBIACO EAST REDEVELOPMENT

503. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Planning:

I refer to concerns raised by residents of Subiaco, including the previous four mayors of Subiaco, about plans for property development for up to 6 000 new residents at the Subiaco East redevelopment.

(1) How does the Minister for Planning propose to ensure that there are adequate playing field facilities for the Bob Hawke College on the site or adjoining sites, noting requirements of state planning policy?

(2) Is the minister aware of the concerns of residents, parents, and the parents and citizens' association about the safety of children due to the proximity of intensive apartment and commercial development, and what measures are being taken to address those concerns?

(3) Has DevelopmentWA undertaken traffic modelling as a result of the proposed development, including at peak times during school pick-up; and, if yes, can the minister table that modelling?

(4) What is the most recent estimated net value to the state of the proposed Subiaco East development and over what time frame?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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

(1) Bob Hawke College has priority access to use Subiaco Oval for student recreation during school hours. In addition, the Department of Education recently constructed eight basketball courts on land between Subiaco Oval and the college.

(2)–(3) Following the strong advocacy of the members for Nedlands, Perth and Churchlands, the government has committed to install two new pedestrian crossings in the area to improve pedestrian safety.

(4) Subiaco East is expected to attract some $1 billion in private sector investment over the next 20 years.
