Parliament: 41 Session: 1

IRON ORE — EXPORTS — ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT

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.
