360. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to part V of the
Environmental Protection Act.
(1) How many
applications have been sought under part V of the EP act for licences and
amendments to licences to export iron ore from ports in Western Australia since
March 2017?
(2) Will the minister please list
those applications and the tonnages involved?
(3) How many
works approvals have been sought under part V of the EP act for the export of
iron ore from ports in Western Australia since March 2017?
(4) Will the
minister please list those applications and the tonnages involved?�
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the Leader of the Opposition
for some notice of the question. I have an answer here with a note: please note
that the following response pertains to iron ore–specific ports only.
(1) There have been nine
applications.
(2) I provide a list of the
applications, including tonnages, which I table.
[See paper 349.]
(3) None has been sought.
(4) Not
applicable.
Due to the complexity of compiling
the information, I request that the honourable member place his question about
common-user ports on notice.
