WASTE — LANDFILL SITES
719. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
I have changed questions, because I want
to ask a question that might not invite such an extensive response! The question
is dated last Thursday, 11 August.
I refer to current waste management
facilities.
(1) How many
landfill sites, both lined and unlined, are licensed to operate on the Swan
coastal plain?
(2) Where are the above sites
located, and when are their licences due for expiry or renewal?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. It was a good choice; it is not a long answer! I provide
this answer on behalf of the Minister for Environment.
The production of this information
will divert staff resources from their usual work, and it is not possible to
provide the information requested in the time frame. I request that the member
place this question on notice.
