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.
