Parliament: 40 Session: 1

KIMBERLEY ASPARAGUS — DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMITS

724. Hon KEN BASTON to the minister representing the Minister for Lands:

I refer to the area of land 23 kilometres east of Broome, currently being developed for horticultural purposes, known as Skuthorpe.

(1) Has the minister or department taken any steps towards making more land available for agriculture in this precinct?

(2) If yes to (1), what are these steps?

(3) If no to (1), why not?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(3) The outcome of the 2015 expression of interest process resulted in all of the available crown land in the Skuthorpe horticultural area being granted.
