Question Without Notice No. 265 asked in the Legislative Council on 2 April 2019 by Hon Colin Holt

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

SANDALWOOD HARVEST

265. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister representing the Minister for Forestry:

I refer to the sandalwood industry restructure of 2016 and associated supply of harvested sandalwood for oil-processing contracts.

(1) Can the minister please detail the supply contracts awarded for the purposes of oil processing in Western Australia, including the volumes of sandalwood they were to receive?

(2) Have either of these contracts been terminated or the conditions of the contracts changed since they were first agreed on?

(3) If yes to (2), please provide details of these changes and the dates that the contracts were terminated, changed or renegotiated.

(4) Was the Forest Products Commission required to seek ministerial approval to terminate, change or renegotiate these contracts?

(5) If no to (4), was the minister advised these changes were being made?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question. The Minister for Forestry has advised the following.

Due to the level of information required, it is not possible to provide an answer in the time available. I commit to providing the information to the honourable member by Thursday, 4 April.
