I refer to the Shire of Harvey's Town Planning Scheme
12 (TPS12), Lakewood Shores Golf Club Estate, Binningup Designated Community
Open Space, and I ask:
(a) what is the progress and status for the transfer of the Community Open
Space (7 lots/parks) earmarked for ownership by the Community Association under
TPS12;
(b) what Ministerial or Departmental engagement has been
undertaken or initiated to facilitate the transfer of the designated Community
open space to the community association, as approved by Harvey Council on the 28 July 2020;
(c) is the developer currently maintaining the earmarked
community space; and
(d) if no to (c), who is undertaking the required

Answered on 23 March 2022
(a)-(d) The Town Planning Scheme sets out management and maintenance requirements for the developer or its nominee, and the implementation of the Scheme is the responsibility of the Shire of Harvey. Neither the Minister for Planning nor the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage has a role in giving effect to resolutions of the Shire of Harvey to transfer land it may have in its possession to another entity.
