Question Without Notice No. 305 asked in the Legislative Council on 3 April 2019 by Hon Dr Steve Thomas

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

FORRESTFIELD–AIRPORT LINK — SOIL CONTAMINATION

305. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Minister for Regional Development:

I refer to my questions in recent weeks on PFAS-contaminated soil excavated from the Forrestfield–Airport Link.

(1) Has the Peel Development Commission CEO, Mr Andrew Ward, met with any persons at any time during 2018 to discuss the potential transfer of stockpiled soil or PFAS-contaminated soil excavated from the Forrestfield–Airport Link to the Peel region?

(2) If yes to (1), on what dates and with whom?

(3) Did the Peel Development Commission CEO meet with Ms Corina Johnson and Shire of Waroona CEO, Mr Ian Curley, at any time in 2018 to discuss the potential transfer of the soil to the Peel region; and, if so, on what dates?

(4) If yes to (3), did those discussions involve any potential for a land swap or exchange of titles in the Peel region or Shire of Waroona?

(5) If yes to (4), did those discussions include potential land transfers or exchanges of all or part of lot 3 Buller Road, Waroona?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question.

(4) No.
