Mr Coe interjecting—

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Coe!

MR CORBELL: of the energy bills of over 2,300 homes—

Mr Hanson interjecting—

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Hanson, I warn you.

MR CORBELL: It is just extraordinary that those opposite would seek to criticise a scheme that has been taken up by hundreds and hundreds of Canberra small businesses, saving them thousands and thousands of dollars each and every year in their electricity bills. But that is the government’s record. (Time expired.)

Westside village—costs

MR COE: Madam Speaker, my question is to the Minister for Economic Development. What will be the recurrent cost of operating Westside village?

MR BARR: I will need to take that question on notice.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Coe.

MR COE: Minister, have you been briefed on the takeover of Westside village, and why did the LDA sign up the Stromlo Stomping Grounds to deliver this project without a proper tender process?

MR BARR: Yes, and it was an unsolicited proposal.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Wall.

MR WALL: Minister, how long will Westside village be in operation before the temporary structure is dismantled?

MR BARR: That will depend on the sequence of land release in West Basin.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Wall.

MR WALL: Minister, what is the average cost per square metre for leasing commercial space in the government-owned facility and why didn’t this project follow the government’s guidelines for unsolicited proposals?

MR BARR: I will need to take the first question on notice. And it was an unsolicited proposal that came to government before, as I understand it, the guidelines were formalised.
