Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Dr LIM - 2002-10-16

My question is about the Chinatown project, in which I am particularly interested. Would you kindly inform honourable members of what the current status of the Chinatown development is, and when will the Northern Territory government be taking up office space? He doesn’t know!

ANSWER

Madam Speaker I thank the member for Greatorex; he either wants an answer to this question or he doesn’t.

The issue of the Chinatown development - yes, we were very pleased to be able to award the office space tender. I believe that the Chinatown project will add magnificently to the community of the Northern Territory and Darwin. The minister who has specific carriage of this is the minister for DCIS, so I might ask my honourable colleague, the minister, for a specific response.

Dr TOYNE (Corporate and Information Services): Madam Speaker, NT Properties is continuing to work with the developers on details of their development. We have not, as yet, received final confirmation of the total financial package being in place. We are continuing to work with the developers on the details of how that can be achieved.
