Hon

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The following members were in attendance at the 18
December 2013 ACMC meeting: Hon Gavin Fielding, AM, chairperson; Mrs Vanessa Kickett,
member; Dr Ian MacLeod, deputy ex officio, Western Australian Museum; Mr Ken
McCrackan, ex officio, Department of Lands; and Mr Aaron Rayner, deputy ex
officio, Department of Aboriginal Affairs.
The
apologies were: Mr Alec Coles, ex officio, Western Australian Museum; Ms Vanessa
Davies, member; and Mr Cliff Weeks, ex officio, Department of Aboriginal
Affairs.
The
staff of the then Department of Aboriginal Affairs in attendance were the
Acting Registrar of Aboriginal Sites, the executive officer of the ACMC
and the acting heritage project officer.
(2) Heritage
staff of the then Department of Aboriginal Affairs provided advice. I will not
table the advice at this time as it contains names and culturally sensitive
information that would need to be redacted.
(3) No. The reporting condition is
due at the end of the purpose.
(4) Not applicable.
