5609 - INNER CITY NEWCASTLE DEVELOPMENT

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Planning, and Minister for Women
  1. What is the rationale for the partnership between GPTUrbanGrowth NSW and the Department of Planning & Infrastructure regarding the development of inner city Newcastle?
  2. What documents detail the exchange of property between GPT and Urban Growth NSW?
  3. What action is the Government taking to ensure no conflict of interest exists between these parties?
Answer -

I am advised:

(1) UrbanGrowth NSW and The GPT Group are the landowning proponents for the site. There is no partnership between GPT⁄UrbanGrowth NSW and the Department of Planning & Infrastructure (now the Department of Planning & Environment).

(2) The exchange of the property was subject to the standard documentation required for the sale of a property in New South Wales.

(3) There is no conflict of interest. The East End Project is subject to development approval by the City of Newcastle or the independent Joint Regional Planning Panel.
