Riverbank Precinct

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): So is it the understanding of the minister, then, that it is intended that the commercial occupancy of this building will all be private?

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) (14:44): I do not know. I guess that is a matter for the market. The building will be constructed by Walker Corporation. They will, I assume, do a commercially due diligence-type arrangement in terms of the tenancies they obtain. The answer and the question were: have we said, 'Yes, the government will take X number of square metres or X number of floors,' and the answer is no.
