I refer to question on notice 3777 - that number may be incorrect - of 2006 and ask - (1) What actions have been taken by the metropolitan land release coordinator, Marion Thompson, to - (a) identify high growth areas and key subdivisions to free up lots; (b) expedite major subdivision applications; (c) review planning conditions that are delaying land releases; and (d) consult with industry and planning agencies?

AnswerView source ↗

On behalf of the parliamentary secretary, I thank Hon Ray Halligan for some notice of the question. (1)-(2) I advise that the staff providing the answer were unable to relate Hon Ray Halligan’s question to question on notice 3777 of 2006, which related to a performance analysis of the freeway network. However, in relation to the activities of the land release coordinator, I do have a comprehensive answer which is quite long. I table it and seek leave for its incorporation in Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 2582.] The following material was incorporated - (1a) An interim tracking system has been established that has identified over 300 subdivision approvals in Perth and Peel of over 30 lots, including the key subdivisions that are bringing and have the potential to bring significant numbers of lots to final approval and title. Developers are responsible for initiating the steps to final approval. (1b) Actions taken to expedite major subdivision applications: the specific role of the LRC was to facilitate clearances of lots already with conditional subdivision approval. However, the appointed corridor coordinators (three of five in place to date, recruitment for remaining positions almost completed) are focussing on expediting major structure plan, subdivision and infrastructure related approvals to assist land supply. (1c) The Land Release Coordinator has made recommendations on process improvements including the use of model conditions are included in her report which is about to be presented to Government. (1d) The LRC has undertaken consultation with industry including the UDIA, HIA, MBA, Property Council of WA, Civil Contractors Federation, WALGA, planning, engineering and surveying consultants. The LRC has been consulting with the DPI and the other relevant approval agencies including Water Corporation, Western Power, Department of Water and Department of Environment and Conservation, and also Department of Housing and Works and Landcorp. (2a) The target for final approval of residential lots for Perth and Peel is 20,000 for 2007/2008. It needs to be noted that the final approval process is initiated by the land developer and reaching this target will in part be dependent on their activities. (2b-c) To date no target has been established for 2008/9 and 2009/10, and these will be considered later this year in light of growth projections for that period.
