(2) A formal report has not been developed. (3) Not applicable. (4) The proposal has been referred to the EPA and an environmental assessment on the proposed site is to be carried out soon by a qualified assessor. (5) The report has yet to be written as the assessment has not yet occurred, it is expected in August 2004. (6) Not applicable. (7) Community consultation about a site for a new MPS in Denmark was carried out by the Denmark Shire. The Shire is the body responsible for making available a suitable site and is therefore the appropriate body for undertaking consultation regarding the choice of site. In their consultation phase the Shire advertised seeking submissions and met with a great number of community members. (8) The shire councillors are the democratically elected representatives of the Denmark community and they have decided on the community park site as the one on which they want the new facilities constructed. (9) Refer to 8 above. (10) The Denmark MPS needs to be replaced as soon as possible and now that the Shire have determined their preferred site. I intend for the WA Country Health Service to progress the next stages of site assessment, negotiations for agreement with the Shire on a range of matters of detail and health facility planning.
