(1) In recognition of the current Urban zoning in the Metropolitan Region Scheme for this site, a negotiated outcome (which involves a compromise between conservation and development) has been proposed by the University. At officer level, the Ministry for Planning has indicated that the proposal is generally acceptable on Bushplan grounds as expected for the site under Perth's Bushplan. However, there are other outstanding planning and environmental issues which need to be addressed. (2) I table a letter to Chappell and Lambert from David Nunn, A/Executive Office, Ministry for Planning dated 20 October 1999. (3) Not applicable.
