I refer to my question without notice 572 of 5 June 2019 on per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-contaminated soil excavated from the Forrestfield–Airport Link project, and ask:
(a) will the Minister please table any minutes or notes, recordings, documentation, option papers or proposals from the meetings she had with Greg Poland in April 2018 and on 26 October 2018 and the meeting the planning officers had with Mr Poland on 5 November 2018;
(b) if no to (a), why not;
(c) were any of the Minister's ministerial office staff or her parliamentary secretary present at the 5 November meeting and, if so, who; and
(d) in the answer to part (2) of question without notice 572 on 5 June 2019, does “various business events” include the Labor leaders’ forum?

Answered on 22 August 2019

(a) The answer to Question without Notice 572 asked on 5 June 2019 incorrectly stated that the meeting between planning officers and the then Deputy Chairperson of the Peel Development Commission regarding East Keralup took place on 5 November 2018. This meeting took place on 14 November 2018.

No notes relevant to the above meetings contained information relating to PFAS or any matter related to the Forrestfield-Airport Link project.

(b) Not applicable

(c) Yes – Policy Advisers were present at the 14 November meeting.

(d) The Minister attends a range of events including industry functions, speaking engagements, keynote addresses, community fairs, school visits and business forums. If any matters relevant to her portfolio are raised with the Minister at such events, it is her practice to refer or redirect such matters to her office for any follow up.
