Hale House (Premier's Palace) Including Fittings

Wednesday 20 Jun 2012

At a time when housing and rental affordability is causing hardship in the community, the Premier has embarked on a major upgrade of his own accommodation and that of his Ministers.

Not happy with his current office accommodation in St George's Terrace, the Premier has decided to spend $27 million on refurbishing the old Hale School Building located opposite Parliament and adjacent to Kings Park.

This refurbishment involves the purchase of new, unique furniture including a boardroom table and chairs which cost over $50,000.

The Premier also likes his Ministers within arm's reach so he has decided to move them to an office nearby - Dumas House. This move is estimated to cost another $55 million.
