Riverbank Precinct

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Planning. Have there been any discussions with the Walker Corporation for a government department or entity to occupy the proposed Riverbank commercial building?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:43): Somebody was getting excited about the answer to this question. The answer to this question is that there is no undertaking or arrangement with respect—

An honourable member: Or discussion?

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Or discussion. There is an arrangement with the Walker Corporation, which is a contractual arrangement. That arrangement does not concern anything in the way of an undertaking that any government tenant will be moving into that building.
