754. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister representing the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:

(1) Does the Environmental Protection Authority's guidance statement 3, which deals with the separation distances between industrial and sensitive land uses, impose an obligation on an applicant for the approval of a 24-hour service station, which will be situated less than 200 metres from a shopping centre, to demonstrate, via a scientific study based on site and industry-specific information, that the service station will not result in unacceptable impacts pursuant to paragraph 4.4.1 of the guidance statement?

(2) When considering an application for a licence for a service station situated within 200 metres of a shopping centre, pursuant to the Dangerous Goods Safety Act 2004, should the licensing authority consider and require the applicant to comply with the requirement of paragraph 4.4.1 of the guidance statement?

(3) Will the minister given an assurance that if and when an application by or on behalf of Puma Energy for a licence pursuant to the Dangerous Goods Safety Act for a service station in Dunsborough is lodged, the requirement of paragraph 4.4.1 of the guidance statement will be observed when considering the application?

I thank the member for the question. I have an answer here, but I think that perhaps we need more information. I undertake to get this back to Hon Colin Holt tomorrow.
