On behalf of the minister representing the Minister for Planning, I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) No. The agreement referred to is the strategic cooperation agreement, signed in 1999 by Premier Richard Court on behalf of the state of Western Australia, the Western Australian Planning Commission, the Tokyu Corporation and the City of Wanneroo. The SCA was reviewed in 2005. The SCA followed on from a memorandum of understanding entered into in 1995 by the Tokyu Corporation, the WAPC and the Western Australian Land Authority with respect to the 5 000 hectares of land held by the Tokyu Corporation in the Yanchep-St Andrews area. The MOU contains a program of action necessary to facilitate long-term planning objectives for the St Andrews area. The program of action included the transfer of land free of cost by Tokyu for certain public purposes, the construction of Marmion Avenue by Tokyu and the construction by Tokyu of a link road between Wanneroo Road and Two Rocks Road. The SCA is in principle an agreement for cooperation during the feasibility stages of the proposed development of the Tokyu lands, describes joint initiatives and cooperation between all parties and foreshadows detailed arrangements that will specify arrangements relating to the implementation of feasible jointly agreed initiatives. The SCA recognises that there are considerable benefits to be gained through cooperation with a single landowner in the provision of a significant supply of urban land. The parties to the SCA agreed that the development of the land should proceed in a manner that is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable; recognises best practice in urban design; accords with relevant state and local government policies; and places a high priority on the encouragement of public transport use. The SCA also states that the parties recognise that the implementation of the agreement is subject to the normal statutory processes, the outcome of which cannot be guaranteed. They will, however, use their best endeavours to expedite any zoning amendments and development approvals to ensure progress of the identified projects. The district structure plan for Yanchep-Two Rocks has been adopted by the City of Wanneroo under the Wanneroo district planning scheme and is currently with the WAPC for assessment and determination. Assessment will consider all relevant planning matters including compatibility with existing state policies. (3) Yes. I table the agreement. (4) Not applicable. [See paper 884.]

The SCA followed on from a memorandum of understanding entered into in 1995 by the Tokyu Corporation, the WAPC and the Western Australian Land Authority with respect to the 5 000 hectares of land held by the Tokyu Corporation in the Yanchep-St Andrews area. The MOU contains a program of action necessary to facilitate long-term planning objectives for the St Andrews area. The program of action included the transfer of land free of cost by Tokyu for certain public purposes, the construction of Marmion Avenue by Tokyu and the construction by Tokyu of a link road between Wanneroo Road and Two Rocks Road. The SCA is in principle an agreement for cooperation during the feasibility stages of the proposed development of the Tokyu lands, describes joint initiatives and cooperation between all parties and foreshadows detailed arrangements that will specify arrangements relating to the implementation of feasible jointly agreed initiatives. The SCA recognises that there are considerable benefits to be gained through cooperation with a single landowner in the provision of a significant supply of urban land. The parties to the SCA agreed that the development of the land should proceed in a manner that is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable; recognises best practice in urban design; accords with relevant state and local government policies; and places a high priority on the encouragement of public transport use. The SCA also states that the parties recognise that the implementation of the agreement is subject to the normal statutory processes, the outcome of which cannot be guaranteed. They will, however, use their best endeavours to expedite any zoning amendments and development approvals to ensure progress of the identified projects. The district structure plan for Yanchep-Two Rocks has been adopted by the City of Wanneroo under the Wanneroo district planning scheme and is currently with the WAPC for assessment and determination. Assessment will consider all relevant planning matters including compatibility with existing state policies. (3) Yes. I table the agreement. (4) Not applicable. [See paper 884.]
