Black cockatoo habitats— ECU Mount Lawley Redevelopment Master Plan
12. Hon Dr Brad Pettitt to the parliamentary
secretary representing the Minister for Planning and Lands:
I refer to the ECU Mount Lawley Redevelopment Master Plan , which
was launched by the minister on 17 February, and the media statement that said:
More than 15 per cent of the site will
be set aside as public open space, creating links to nearby parks, preserving
mature trees where possible and adding new plantings to provide shade and
strengthen the urban canopy.
(1) How many mature trees currently exist in the ECU Mount Lawley Redevelopment Master Plan area?
(2) How many of these in (1) serve as roosting
habitat for the threatened black cockatoos?
(3) How many mature trees are planned to be cut
down in the master plan?
(4) How many of the trees in (3) provide roosting habitat
for the threatened black cockatoos?

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) Edith Cowan University will not formally
vacate the site until the end of 2026. It is known that the site will require
significant remediation works due to its previous use as landfill. It would be
premature to provide estimations at this point as detailed environmental
investigations and design have not yet occurred.
