AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. This advice has been provided to me by the Minister for Environment. (1)–(2) Advice from the Department of Environment and Conservation is that six Carnaby’s black cockatoo night-roost sites have been recorded within three kilometres of the corner of Underwood Avenue and Brookdale Street. While none is within the Perry Lakes development, one is adjacent to it. (3)–(4) I am advised that typically Carnaby’s black cockatoos use a number of trees within the vicinity of a night roost; therefore, it is possible that some of the trees are used by Carnaby’s black cockatoos. The developers have been encouraged to retain as many large trees as possible. (5)–(6) No. This is an approved development. (7) Not applicable.
