Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 651 asked in the Legislative Council on 8 September 2021 by Hon Tjorn Sibma

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CARINE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL — PARKING BAYS

651. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Minister for Education and Training:

The question is dated yesterday.

I refer to a Facebook post of 4 September by the member for Carine that announced that ''an additional 85 parking bays will now be part of the McGowan government's $32 million re-development of Carine Senior High School.'' Incidentally, that is my old school.

(1) How many parking bays were included in the original re-development plan?

(2) When was the decision made to retrospectively incorporate the additional 85 parking bays into the redevelopment?

(3) Will these additional bays be temporary or permanent?

(4) Where precisely will the parking bays be located, and upon whose land?

(5) How many of these bays will be allocated to teachers and staff compared with students?

(6) By when will the full number of additional bays be delivered?

(7) At what cost will they be delivered?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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

(1)–(7) I have been working with the member for Carine to address concerns about student parking around Carine Senior High School. Additional bays will be available by the commencement of term 1, 2022, and are located on the south west corner of the Carine Senior High School site, off Silica Street.

At my request, the Department of Education has been working with the City of Stirling to discuss creating extra embayments in surrounding roads where appropriate and to determine whether signage can be installed in the local streets. The department has offered to contribute to the cost of the embayments.
