Question Without Notice No. 592 asked in the Legislative Council on 6 June 2019 by Hon Dr Steve Thomas

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

FORRESTFIELD–AIRPORT LINK — SOIL CONTAMINATION

592. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to my questions of recent months on PFAS-contaminated soil excavated from the Forrestfield–Airport Link project.

(1) Has the minister or any of the minister's staff met with or had telephone discussions with the commercial officer of the Peel Development Commission, Ms Lisa Taylor, in the last 12 months?

(2) If yes to (1), who initiated the meetings or discussions and what was the nature of the contact?

(3) Has the minister or any of the minister's staff discussed with Ms Taylor in any form the potential disposal of PFAS-contaminated soil excavated from the Forrestfield–Airport Link at any location?

(4) If yes to (3), which locations for disposal were discussed?

(5) Did any of those locations include the Peel region?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

On behalf of the Minister for Environment, I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) For the period 5 June 2018 to 4 June 2019, based on inquires able to be undertaken in the time available, neither the minister nor any current ministerial staff recall or have a record of having had a telephone conversation or met with Ms Taylor.

(2)–(5) Not applicable.
