Budget—Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services

Ms Stephen-Smith (in reply to a supplementary question by Mr Coe on Wednesday, 14 August 2019):

In response to Mr Coe’s question, I can inform the Assembly:

A contractor has been engaged to provide expert assessment and reporting of requirements, including costings of physical work to accommodate Gugan Gulwan’s needs. The project is expected to be 19 weeks in duration, with a progress report at the six-week point.

The Feasibility Study Report provided at the conclusion of the project will cover feasibility of extension options for Gugan Gulwan to remain at the current site (including outdoor space into indoor covered space, vacant space around the site used for extension, second storey); two options for relocation at another site; and three sketch plans for future works at the site.

The project is on track to be completed by October 2019 with the final report to be provided to the Community Services Directorate.

Planning—Molonglo Valley

Mr Gentleman (in reply to a supplementary question by Ms Le Couteur on Thursday, 15 August 2019):

The first release of land in the Molonglo commercial precinct is programmed for 2021-22. By this time, it is estimated the population of Molonglo Valley would have grown to support a full line supermarket in this location.

Asbestos—government information

Ms Stephen-Smith (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Mr Parton on Thursday, 15 August 2019):

The response to QON E19-375 was accurate – no homeowners were required to sign non-disclosure agreements.

Whilst the sales process was still being developed, a handful of owners were issued with a non-disclosure agreement alongside their First Right of Refusal (FROR) offer, including the owners mentioned in The Canberra Times article of 19 July 2017.

It was quickly identified that non-disclosure agreements were not required as part of the process, and no further documents were issued, nor were those that received them asked to return them.

Canberra Hospital—emergency department

Ms Stephen-Smith (in reply to a supplementary question by Mrs Dunne on Thursday, 15 August 2019):
