81. Hon DIANE EVERS to the Minister for Environment:
I refer to the Lewana plantation
fire in February 2019 and the minister's response to question without
notice 785. Has the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions
liaised with affected landholders in line with its good neighbour policy; if
yes, what was the outcome; and, if not, why not?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The Department of Biodiversity,
Conservation and Attractions has continued to liaise and work with affected landowners
and other stakeholders to improve relationships and reinstate access tracks.
These actions are in line with the department's good neighbour
relations policy.
