I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2)
The Western Australian Planning Commission determination of the Bullsbrook town
site and rural strategy has been deferred pending the preparation of a
subregional structure plan for the north east corridor. This strategy will
provide essential guidance on the urban expansion of Bullsbrook, servicing
infrastructure requirements, bushfire risk, and environmental assessment, to
enable a decision to be made in a strategic context.
(3) The north
east corridor subregional structure plan is being prepared by the Department of
Planning, and the draft Bullsbrook town site and rural strategy is one suite of
documents informing this process. It is anticipated that the structure plan
will be released for public comment in mid-2013. The draft Bullsbrook town site
and rural strategy may require review or modification following the
finalisation of the structure plan.
