On 5 May the Leader of the Opposition asked the Minister for Transport Services a question without notice regarding Sydney Ferries Lady Street disposal. The Minister provided the following response:
I am advised by Sydney Ferries:
Since the decommissioning of the Lady Street a number of parties have proposed alternative uses for the vessel.
Sydney Ferries proposes to consult further with the community on these alternatives via a call for expressions of interest.
Responses received will be assessed and possible alternatives will be presented to the new Board of the Sydney Ferries Corporation.
As part of the process, Sydney Ferries will be seeking to minimise its own costs and costs to the taxpayer.
