ARMADALE COURTHOUSE AND
POLICE COMPLEX
844. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the minister representing the Minister for Police:
I refer the minister to the media
release on 31 March 2020 of the former Minister for Police, Hon Michelle
Roberts, and Attorney General, Hon John
Quigley, titled ''Foundations laid for new Armadale Courthouse and Police
Complex''. In particular, I refer to the first sentence in the
release, which states —
In a major milestone for the McGowan
Government, the first major concrete pour has today taken place at the new
Armadale Courthouse and Police Complex.
(1) Has the Armadale Courthouse and
Police Complex been completed?
(2) If no to (1), what is the
proposed completion date of the complex?
(3) Where in the 2021–22
budget is there a line item for the complex?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The question I have says ''13 March 2020''
but the honourable member said ''31 March''; nonetheless, I have
an answer. The following information has been provided to me by the Minister
for Police.
