I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1) No. There is
no statutory planning document that depicts a five-kilometre buffer zone around
the Wagerup refinery.
(2) An
information sheet on Wagerup land management is available on Alcoa's
website. This map identifies two areas—area A immediately surrounding
the refinery based on the 35 decibel noise contour, and area B, the townships
of Hamel and Yarloop. This land management report was prepared by Alcoa in
accordance with an environmental approval issued by the Minister for
Environment in 2013. I table the information sheet and map.
