Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 388 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 August 2017 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


METROPOLITAN REGION SCHEME AMENDMENT 1271/41 —LOT 59 WILKINS ROAD, KALAMUNDA
      388. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the minister representing the Minister for Planning:
I refer to the Minister for Planning's statement in the other place on 15 June 2017 concerning the metropolitan region scheme amendment relating to Wilkins Road, Kalamunda, in particular that ''This site comes with a number of outstanding issues, for example, native title issues that are still unresolved and other new constraints due to bushfire management''.
      (1) Will the minister provide more detail on the outstanding issues that she has referred to; and, if not, why not?
      (2) Who advised the minister of the outstanding issues referred to in part (1), and when was this advice provided?
(3) What are the new constraints identified relating to bushfire management?
      (4) Who advised the minister of the new constraints referred to in part (3), and when was this advice provided?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided by the Minister for Planning.
      (1)–(4) The Minister for Planning has considered the issues raised during the amendment process and is not satisfied that the site is suitable for aged care for the reasons provided in her statement made on 15 June 2017. The minister was also concerned that the former government created unrealistic expectations in relation to this land, given the constraints around the proposed development.
