(1) Is the minister aware that the Department of Environmental Protection is planning to relocate the Kalgoorlie Eastern Bypass Road so that Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines Pty Ltd can mine closer to residential areas? (2) Can the Minister advise what measures are being taken to ensure the safety of residents in this area? (3) What measures will be taken to ensure that an increased risk of spills and accidents will not occur at the doorsteps of residents? (4) Can the minister confirm that maps from the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation report from KCGM show that the noise bund walls proposed for the realigned bypass road are not continuous? (5) What measures will be taken to ensure that dust levels, plus vibration from blasting, will not cause greater concerns for nearby residents? (6) Given that the premises affected by the proposal may be inside the safety exclusion zone, can the minister explain why advice has not been given to the tenants of those premises when blasting is taking place, breaching procedures and regulations affecting the SEZ? (7) If the minister is aware that breaches have taken place or there are other risks or actions detrimental to the wellbeing of those occupiers, will she agree to an extension of the SEZ? Hon PETER FOSS

I preface all my answers by stating that the minister referred to is the Minister for the Environment. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich: It is not you. Hon PETER FOSS: My gender is he. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich: I know! The PRESIDENT: Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich does not realise that her interjections are likely to cause some members not to be able to ask questions today. She should talk with the Attorney General outside the Chamber so I can allow other questions to be asked. Hon PETER FOSS: (1) The Department of Environmental Protection is not planning to relocate the Kalgoorlie Eastern Bypass Road. The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder has proposed the realignment of the Kalgoorlie eastern bypass. (2) Public safety in relation to mining operations is dealt with under the provisions of the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1995. (3) The Environmental Protection Authority will require details of risk issues associated with the transport of dangerous goods along the realigned bypass as part of its consideration under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. (4) Yes. However, the EPA will consider the measures required to ensure that noise does not adversely affect nearby residents. (5) Under the conditions of environmental approval for this project, the proponent must manage the mine run by Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines in accordance with approved dust and vibration management plans. The effectiveness of these plans is monitored and reported in annual environmental reports. (6) Once again, this is a matter of public safety and is subject to the provisions of the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1995. (7) This is a matter for the Department of Minerals and Energy under the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1995.
