Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1171 asked in the Legislative Council on 17 November 2022 by Hon Dr Brian Walker

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

PLANNING — CAPE PERON

1171. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Planning:

I refer the minister to her media release on planning investigation outcomes, dated 21 September 2022, in which it was stated that work is ''progressing to create the first stage of a class A reserve at Cape Peron'' and announcing the formation of a Cape Peron implementation group.

(1) When was the Cape Peron implementation group established, and how often has it met since its inception?

(2) What is the group's remit and membership, and when it is it expected to report back to the minister?

(3) What, if anything, needs to be achieved before formal sign-off on class A designation can be finalised?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I provide the following information on behalf of the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Planning.

(1) It was established in December 2021 and has met eight times.

(2) The committee was established to oversee the implementation of the working group's recommendations as endorsed by government. The committee is chaired by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and its membership includes the City of Rockingham, the Department of Transport, the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, with the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council observing.

(3) A deposited plan of the proposed class A reserve needs to be finalised and documents prepared for lodgement at Landgate.
