BIODIVERSITY,
CONSERVATION AND ATTRACTIONS — WEEDS
1343. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to the 2021–22
annual report of the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions—it
is still a terrible name—that says on page 29 that —
Operations to prioritise, review and
manage priority environmental weeds continued throughout the State, including
through collaborative efforts with traditional owner and community groups.
(1) How much did the department
spend on these operations in 2021–22?
(2) Which priority weeds did the
department eliminate or reduce the incidence of on lands it managed?
(3) Which
priority weeds did the department handball the management of to recognised
biosecurity groups or other community groups?
I hope there are arum lilies in the
response!
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable Leader of the
Opposition for some notice of the question.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to
provide the information requested in the time frame. I request that the member
place the question on notice.
