Access Canberra—block inspections
(Question No 2298)
Mrs Jones asked the Minister for Business and Regulatory Services, upon notice, on 22 February 2019:
(1) What assessment has been made of the vacant block in Bentham Street, Yarralumla to ensure it is safe and well kept.
(2) How many times has the block been inspected between 2012 and 2019 and on what dates have these inspections taken place.
(3) Have these inspections found (a) sufficient drainage of the site, (b) sufficient fencing of the site and (c) waste or rubbish which may attract vermin.
(4) What engagement has Access Canberra had with the owners of the site to determine when the development of the site will occur (a) before September 2018 and (b) after September 2018.
(5) Have the abandoned construction works on the site caused undermining or subsidence of neighbouring blocks; if so, what recourse is available for the neighbouring residents.
(6) What action can the Government take to compel the owner to develop or forfeit the land.
Mr Ramsay: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(2) 11 inspections have been undertaken by Access Canberra, and its predecessors, since 2012:-
