I refer to the Port Hedland voluntary buyback scheme.

(a) accepted offers through the Hedland Maritime Initiative; and

(b) settled offers through the Hedland Maritime Initiative?

(2) Of those properties in (1), how many were purchased by the former owners in 2016 or more recently?

(3) Of those properties in (1), how many were mortgagee in possession?

(4) Is the Hedland Maritime Initiative monitoring whether properties in the scheme are being bought back above or below their 2016 value ?

(5) Can landowners in the Port Hedland West End Improvement Scheme No 1 catchment area claim compensation for injurious affection; and, if yes, how many landowners have made such a claim?
