I refer to Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment 1218/41 – Keralup Stage One, and ask:
(a) what work has been done to determine the likely costs to provide adequate water, electricity, road, education and public transport infrastructure to this proposed development;
(b) will the State Government commit to delivering the required infrastructure to support such a large new community before the proposed development progresses any further and if not, why not; and
(c) for what reason did the Minister endorse this amendment before the cost of the significant infrastructure required was known?

(a) The Department of Housing (landowner) has undertaken various studies to support the proposed amendment, and consultation with servicing agencies demonstrates that the site is capable of accommodating urban development. As planning progresses, further detailed investigations will be undertaken which will inform the staging and financing of infrastructure.
(b) The State Government is committed to the development of Keralup and will provide the required infrastructure as the detailed planning and development of the site progresses.
(c) The proposed amendment is for an Urban Deferred zone only, and no development can occur until infrastructure requirements have been addressed, and the land transferred to an Urban zone. As stated in the Metropolitan Region Scheme Report on Submissions, the currently anticipated significant infrastructure costs for the provision of water and sewerage are approximately $31m.
