Prosecution action is taken if necessary to ensure that all employees are covered for workers compensation within the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act.
Use of Schools
(Question No. 22)

What are the current applications/proposals for the sale/lease/use of the following schools:
(a) Woden Valley High;
(b) Pearce Primary;
(c) Fisher Primary; and
(d) Page Primary.
Mr Whalan: The answer to the member's question is as follows: The Federal Government decided in 1988 to close these schools from the beginning of 1989. The Government is seeking public comment on the proposed uses for the various surplus school buildings and sites and the processes by which the final uses will be determined.
The Interim Territory Planning Authority has issued draft variations to policy plans for the schools and sites for public comment. These plans allow a specific set of uses. The ACT Government has analysed the configuration of each school and has made a preliminary assessment of its preferred uses for each particular school site. These are:
Page Primary - buildings and site to be made available for medium density residential development (including aged persons units) and open space;
Pearce and Fisher Primary - one set of buildings to be available for unsubsidised community use, and the other set of buildings and both sites to be used for medium density residential development (including aged persons units). Open space is also incorporated in the Fisher Primary School draft variation policy plan;
Watson High - grounds to be used for medium density residential development and open space;
