1356. Hon COLIN HOLT to the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to question without notice
1318 asked on 24 November.
(1) What role does the Minister for
Regional Development play in the market-led proposal process?
(2) Has the
minister played any role in assessing or presenting the Busselton jetty MLP
application; and, if so, what has been her involvement?
(3) The proponent
has been told that the proposal has been on the Minister for Regional
Development's desk now for nine months waiting for her to take it to
cabinet.
(a) Is this true
and what has been the hold-up in taking it to cabinet?
(b) Why has the
assessment and lack of notification of the Busselton jetty MLP failed the
steering committee's own 99-day notice period?

I thank the member for the question.
(1)–(2) Under
the market-led proposal guidelines, a lead agency minister is responsible for
presenting a cabinet submission on the findings of the MLP steering committee.
My involvement in the assessment of Busselton Jetty Inc's application
process has been consistent with the guidelines.
(3) I acknowledge that this proposal has not
progressed as quickly as the proponent would have liked. However , as per
the terms of the MLP policy, I am not in a position to disclose information on
the process.
