Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 393 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 28 May 2020 by Mr V.A. Catania

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

CARNARVON FASCINE

393. Mr V.A. CATANIA to the Minister for Transport:

I have a supplementary question. Given that the fascine waterway is silted up and all that work has been undone by the ex–tropical cyclone, and that vessels cannot use it, does the minister acknowledge and take responsibility for the ecological disaster that may potentially be with us for the next few months if this matter is not addressed?

Several members interjected.

The SPEAKER: Members!

Ms R. SAFFIOTI replied:

We have been working really well with the Shire of Carnarvon on this issue. The Department of Transport has been engaged to help fund the detailed report to determine the options. Until the department became involved, things were being talked about, but it was the department that actually did the work to determine the best option. We will continue to engage with the Shire of Carnarvon. I did not cause that cyclone and it has been only a few days since its impact has been felt. We will continue to work with the Shire of Carnarvon, because I think that everyone in the community and everyone in this house wants the fascine to open so that it can be enjoyed by the Carnarvon community.
