PORT HEDLAND VOLUNTARY
BUYBACK SCHEME
1131. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Ports:
I refer to the Port Hedland
voluntary buyback scheme.
(1) As of 7 December 2021, how many
properties have now —
(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?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
