I thank the member for some notice of this question. Yes. At the request of the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, the Department of Land Administration contacted the Shire of Kojonup, which advised that it had commenced preliminary survey works for road-design purposes, which necessitated the clearing of the road alignment area through reserve 17705. DOLA is investigating why the shire commenced the work prior to the parliamentary process being completed.
