MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 1296

Abattoir Holding Paddocks

Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning -

In relation to your response to question on notice No. 1070 that the lease of the "Abattoir Paddocks" near Oaks Estate was expected to be publicly advertised and auctioned in the second quarter of 1994 -

(1) Has the comprehensive survey to determine the unimproved value for rates

setting etc. been carried out.

(2) If so, (a) what value has been placed on the area; (b) what lease conditions

have been prepared and (c) what rates and land tax will be charged.

(3) If not, why not, and when will the survey be completed.

Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows -

(1) No. The definition of the boundary of the site to be leased is still being

finalised.

(2) No value has been placed on the area. The unimproved value of the abattoir

paddocks cannot be determined until the site has been surveyed and lease

conditions are available. Lease conditions have not been finalised; rates and

land tax will be levied on the basis of the valuation.

(3) The Department is not able to arrange for the valuation until the boundary of

the site to be leased and the lease conditions are finalised. This is taking longer

than anticipated due to the need to consider environmental issues, current uses

of parts of the site and Commonwealth Government involvement in a

significant proportion of the site. As soon as these issues are resolved the

survey and valuation can be undertaken.
