Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 850 asked in the Legislative Council on 21 September 2022 by Hon Wilson Tucker

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

WITTENOOM — GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

850. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Housing:

Can the minister please provide a time line of communications between 29 March and 8 September 2022 between his agency and Ms Lorraine Thomas about her impending eviction from her Wittenoom residence?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

On behalf of the Leader of the House, I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

Staff from the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage have been in continuous written and verbal communication with the individual and her daughter on her behalf for many years. Department staff provided updates to each of the landowners during the passage of the Wittenoom Closure Act 2022 through Parliament and provided ample opportunity to work with the government during the process. Considering the individual has now left the property voluntarily, and because of the high volume of contact over the time period mentioned, it is not considered to be a reasonable or appropriate use of government resources to provide this information.
