FORRESTFIELD–AIRPORT
LINK — SOIL CONTAMINATION
349. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to my question without
notice 305 asked on 3 April 2019 on PFAS-contaminated soil excavated from the
Forrestfield–Airport Link.
(1) Has any board
member or staff member of the Peel Development Commission had any discussions
with any person during 2019 that included the potential transfer of stockpiled
soil or PFAS-contaminated soil excavated from the Forrestfield–Airport
Link to the Peel region?
(2) If yes to (1), which board or
staff member, on what dates and with whom?
(3) If yes to
(1), did those discussions involve any potential for any form of land swap,
land tender or exchange of titles in the Peel region or Shire of Waroona?
(4) If yes to
(3), did those discussions include potential land transfers or exchanges of all
or part of lot 3 Buller Road, Waroona?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the question.
(1)–(2) I
am advised by the Peel Development Commission that in January 2019 a small
number of discussions occurred with a specific
Peel business owner on a range of topics, including the potential for the
transfer of soil. These discussions were limited to the commission CEO,
a former board member and a commission staff member.
(3)–(4) I
am advised by the Peel Development Commission that to the best of its knowledge
the only discussion involving the potential for any form of land swap, land
tender or exchange of titles occurred on 15 January 2019.
