Question Without Notice No. 481 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 May 2019 by Hon Michael Mischin

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

LITHIUM REFINERY — KWINANA — MINES SAFETY AND INSPECTION LEVY

481. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the minister representing the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:

I ask this question on behalf of Hon Tjorn Sibma, who regrettably has to be absent from the chamber on urgent parliamentary business.

Will the mines safety and inspection levy apply to the new lithium refinery currently under construction in the Kwinana industrial area?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question. The following information has been provided to me by the Minister for Mines and Petroleum.

The Mines Safety and Inspection Levy Regulations 2010 apply to any facility classed as a mining operation under the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994. The classification of this project is currently under discussion with project proponents.
