Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1147 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 November 2022 by Hon Colin De Grussa

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

TAYLOR STREET JETTY, ESPERANCE

1147. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Ports:

I refer to the Taylor Street jetty facility in Esperance, which is currently used by commercial tour operators and holds significant heritage and amenity value to the Esperance community.

(1) I understand that the Southern Ports Authority has decided to close the facility permanently. Is this correct?

(2) If the answer to (1) is yes, what community consultation was undertaken by the Southern Ports Authority prior to making its decision?

(3) If the answer to (1) is no, are there any plans to close the facility permanently?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) No.

(2) Not applicable.

(3) The facility is coming to the end of its design life. The state government will work with local stakeholders to assess options for the future of this community facility.
