(1) I refer to the
Review of Old Growth Forests Status for Barrabup 03
, and the websites of the Conservation and Parks Commission (CPC) and Department of Conservation, Biodiversity and Attractions (DCBA) and ask, given both agencies’ websites state old growth assessments requested by public nomination will be conducted by the Commission until 30 June 2017, why was the old growth assessment for Barrabup, requested on 6 June 2017, conducted by DCBA and not the CPC?
(2) Will the Minister please table all minutes and memos from the meeting held on 24 March 2017 by staff of the CPC and the then Department of Parks and Wildlife to discuss old growth forest assessment procedures?
(3) If no to (2), why not?
