Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 344 asked in the Legislative Council on 10 May 2018 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


GREENPATCH DEVELOPMENT — TUART BUSHLAND — DALYELLUP
      344. Hon DIANE EVERS to the minister representing the Minister for Planning:
I refer to the proposed modification to the ''Dalyellup Beach Estate Local Structure Plan'', specifically Greenpatch subdivision lots 9105, 9076, and 8019 on which there is an important stand of tuarts.
      (1) Is this state-owned land?
      (2) Does the state government have the power to determine whether these lots can be included in the Preston River to Ocean Regional Park; and, if not, why not?
      (3) If yes to (2), will the state government consider extending the boundary of the Preston River to Ocean Regional Park to include these lots; and, if so, when will the government consider extending the boundary of the regional park to include these lots; and, if not, why not?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The Minister for Planning has provided the following information to me.
(1) No.
(2) Yes.
      (3) The boundaries of the Preston River to Ocean Regional Park were determined through extensive research, government agency assessment, public consultation and government consideration. However, a portion of lot 9105 has been identified on the draft structure plan as regional open space, which, if the structure plan is supported and the land considered suitable for inclusion in the regional park, could be included subject to detailed assessment and reservation in the greater Bunbury region scheme.
