SMITHS BEACH — DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
445. Hon
NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for
Planning:
I refer to consideration of the
Smiths Beach development by the state development assessment unit and the Western
Australian Planning Commission.
(1) When will the
Environmental Protection Authority complete its assessment of the development
proposal?
(2) Will the EPA's
recommendation be made public prior to consideration of a recommendation by
SDAU and the Western Australian Planning Commission?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The
Minister for Planning does not speak on behalf of the Environmental Protection
Authority, which is an independent statutory authority.
