THE RAFT PERTH — LIQUOR LICENCE APPLICATION
549. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Minister for Environment:
I refer to the application for a liquor
licence to cater for up to 300 patrons, received by the Liquor Commission on 8 May
2018, from Old Salt Perth Pty Ltd for the barge, known as The Raft Perth,
to be permanently moored in the Swan River and for which the minister gave part
V approval in January 2018 for up to 250 patrons.
(1) Has the
minister and/or the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions re-evaluated
the proposal after the location of the mooring changed and a 20 per cent
increase to the maximum capacity occurred?
(2) Were the
stakeholders and nearby residents who were invited to evaluate the proposal the
minister approved in January re-consulted after the proposed location and
maximum capacity of the vessel were changed?
(3) If no to (2), under what
authority has the DBCA accepted these changes?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No. I conditionally
approved the application on 3 January 2018 for 250 patrons. No amendments to
the application have been proposed to me or the Department of Biodiversity,
Conservation and Attractions.
(2)–(3) Not applicable.
