Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1230 asked in the Legislative Council on 23 October 2019 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

LAND SERVICES WA

1230. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Lands:

I refer to the recent privatisation of Landgate services.

(1) Will the minister provide a list of all the personal information to which Land Services WA will have access; and, if not, why not?

(2) Is there a privacy agreement between the WA government and Land Services WA in relation to personal private information; and, if not, why not?

(3) If yes to (2), will the minister table the privacy agreement between the government and Land Services WA; and, if not, why not?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me by the Minister for Lands.

(1) As the government has explained on many occasions, the data in the land titles register, which Land Services WA will have access to, is already publicly available. For the honourable member's benefit, Land Services WA will have the exact same access to the same data as Advara, which was appointed by the previous government in 2016.

(2) Land Services WA has strict privacy obligations under both legislation, including the commonwealth Privacy Act 1988, and the transaction documents with Landgate. There is no separate privacy agreement in relation to personal private information, as the land titles register is already publicly available.

(3) Not applicable.
